LG V40 ThinQ Review
10.0

Description

The LG V40 ThinQ has all the characteristics of a high-end Android phone: from the large OLED display and glass-on-metal construction to the fast Snapdragon 845 chip and plenty of memory inside it. But its top key selling factor is the huge camera arsenal. The LG V40 has a whopping 3 cameras in the rear for shooting regular, super wide-angle, and 2x optical zoom photos. Two more cameras at the front let you switch between standard and super wide-angle selfies.

This device is also known as LG V405QA7

This phone is an underrated beast. When it comes to audio quality and fidelity nothing comes close speakers or headphones . the camera does its job not amazing but way above average and it has this really weird image stabilisation wich really helps when walking its like its floating or something, It barely shakes even when pushed by other people. And the screen is just crazy like all other flagship. Tge only downside is its Damn battery life , i can't explained but it fluctuates from day to day, almost like there was some app draining the battery on the background and other days it lasts all day ,unpredictable I guess is what I'm trying to say.
