About the Product
The Galaxy S9 and S9+ are packed with incredible features to help you do more than you ever imagined. With a revolutionary camera that adapts like the human eye, get ready to capture your world like never before.
The Good The LG V30 almost has it all: a great camera, speedy processor, huge OLED screen, excellent battery life, waterproofing, wireless charging, microSD storage and the best headphone jack on a phone. The Bad Ergonomic quirks can make the V30 awkward to hold. You may miss some shots due to slow camera autofocus. Carrier-specific versions come with annoying bloatware and logos. The Bottom Line The LG V30 is a rock-solid alternative to Samsung’s Galaxy S8 Plus and the Google Pixel 2 XL. If it fits your hands and your photographic needs, you won't be disappointed.

What customers say about "Display"
Samsung Galaxy S9 GSM Unlocked, 64gb, Lilac Purple
- Beautiful display fast and responsive.
- It has a beautiful screen with deep rich colors that make watching Netflix a joy.
- I am not disappointed with switching to Samsung, this phone has a much better display and camera than the iPhones do.
- I love the display and the infinity edge. For me this is a total upgrade from the S5 I've been using, I'm so glad I waited! Everything shows up bright and crystal clear. Even my email looks nicer!
LG V30 H932 Dual Camera 4G LTE 64GB Silver
- The images are by no means poor quality, especially if you know what you're doing and are comfortable using the fantastic manual mode, although the inclusion of the very useful wide angle lens does have a lot of added value as I find myself using it quite often.
- Great smartphone - ultra light. OLED screen is awesome.
- Great screen, fast processing, really this phone has it all.
- The screen, whilst being OLED doesn't come close to those made by Samsung, but it still preferable to an LCD screen.
- The screen is pretty nice but it doesn't look 100% like an OLED with blacks not being as "deep black" as Samsungs.

What customers say about "Processor"
Samsung Galaxy S9 GSM Unlocked, 64gb, Lilac Purple
- This phone is excellent, Its fast, it's thin, it's practical, and the camera and gaming performance is great
- Fastest smartphone on the planet and maybe the smartest also.
- Everything seems to download faster as well on this device.
- Getting back to the phone, the S9+ seems to work VERY fast when loading apps and pages. I use it for a lot of my wireless products at home (Nest thermostat, wireless cameras, LIFX lights, Liftmaster garage door opener) and all work fast and flawlessly.
LG V30 H932 Dual Camera 4G LTE 64GB Silver
- Very little bloatware, great performance. I'm writing this review after trying it for about 4 months and I still love it as much as I did on day 1.
- Otherwise - excellent smartphone - better than the preceding flagships of both G and V series.
- Got it last week and i test it by myself this phone is amazing peace of art the look the design the feel in the hand the performance gamings snaping listen to music this is the best phone i ever owned

What customers say about "Camera"
Samsung Galaxy S9 GSM Unlocked, 64gb, Lilac Purple
- Also, the Bixby AI camera function is very cool too. There are about 8 or 9 different things it can do with the camera.
- The camera is nice, the pictures come out clean and clear.
- The camera is beautiful and I could easily say justifies the pricepoint for those looking at the market for photography in comparison to other phones I've seen and I haven't even touched many of the features.
- The camera. WOW. They are getting close to SLR quality with these lenses. It's not the same but I'm sure I could fool some with it.
LG V30 H932 Dual Camera 4G LTE 64GB Silver
- The camera takes really nice pictures, especially with the ability to fit more things in the frame using the second camera.
- There video capturing capabilities are some of the best in any phone out there, however the only possible the quality of photos, at least when it comes to competing with the latest flagships.
- The camera hardware is good, the software, not so much. Installing the Pixel camera app improves photos markedly.
- The camera is pretty impressive yet lacks low light quality, guess Samsung and HTC spoiled me with high quality low light pics.
- I love the pro camera features, and over all, the size of the V30 is comparable to my previous Turbo 2 by Motorola.

What customers say about "Power"
