LG V30 pictures leak thanks to partnership with online production company

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has the kind of face that is familiar. Immediately, you might remember him from the Julia Stiles-Larisa Oleynik vehicle "10 Things I Hate About You." So what does a 36-year old actor have to do with the LG V30? Plenty, as it turns out. Gordon-Levitt started the online production company called HITRECORD, which partnered with LG last year to produce a television commercial for the device maker. As it turns out, still images captured from videos submitted to HITRECORD for a contest happen to show leaked images of the LG V30. Some of those pictures can be found by clicking on the slideshow at the bottom of this story.

The secondary ticker screens that once defined the LG V10 and LG V20 are now gone, replaced with a "floating bar" that will be used for notifications and shortcuts for apps. A new 6-inch P-OLED screen will be found on the model. Thanks to the FullVision aspect ratio of 18:9, the LG V30 will have a smaller body than the one on the LG V20 even though the screen will be larger. With the new OLED panel, the top bezel is reduced by 20% and the bottom bezel is 50% thinner.

Under the hood of the LG V30 will be Qualcomm's current high-end chipset, the Snapdragon 835 SoC. The latter will come with an octa-core 2.45GHz CPU and the Adreno 540 GPU. We could see a variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of native storage, and a model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of native storage. A dual camera setup on back brings a pair of 13MP sensors to the phone, and an 8MP selfie snapper is also on board. A quad-core DAC provides outstanding audio capabilities.

As we told you the other day, the LG V30 is expected to be a media powerhouse. With the widest aperture camera ever placed on a handset (measuring f/1.6), the V30 will handle photographs taken under the kind of low-light conditions that usually scare away photographers. The LG V30 should be unveiled on August 31st in Berlin, the very day before the 2017 IFA trade show kicks off.
