LG’s new flagship has everything covered!

I have introduced the LG G6. If the LG G series is a mainstream flagship phone, then LG’s other flagship series, the V series, is a powerful model that is more focused on audio and video enhancements. Today Ah Hui is going to introduce it to you. LG V3 is LG's latest flagship phone. It can be said to be the biggest and most powerful evolution in history. It is the most powerful model that brings together various top technologies and specifications of LG smartphones!

LG V3 is actually divided into two models: LG V30 and V3. The difference between the two models is only in the built-in storage space. V3 has 128GB of built-in storage space directly. The model sold directly in Taiwan is the high-end model. The LG V3 has three colors to choose from: fantasy purple, phantom blue, and fantasy silver. Today Ah Fai is sharing with you the fantasy silver model.

LG V3 specifications and features: Qualm Snapdragon S835 processor / 4GB RAM running memory 128GB built-in storage space, which can be expanded by 2TB with a microSD memory card 18:9 high screen-to-body ratio 6-inch FullVision OLED screen, Resolution 1440 x 2880, supports HDR video playback, corresponds to HDR10 dual specifications 16 million f/1.6 Crystal Clear lens, 1um pixel area, 71-degree standard focal length, three-axis OIS optical anti-shake 13 million f/1.9 secondary lens, Ultra-wide-angle 120-degree Cine Video professional movie mode, supports Log recording. Front-facing 5-megapixel*** lens, 90-degree ultra-wide angle, switchable to 80-degree 4G LTE high-speed network supports 4CA aggregation, 4G+3G dual SIM card dual standby integrated on the back Power button with fingerprint scanner B&O Play certified, ESS ES9218+ Quad DAC professional audio chip USB 3.1 Type C port, supports QC 3.0 fast charging Built-in 3,300mAh battery, supports Qi wireless charging technology IP68 waterproof and dustproof / passed US military specifications Tested (MIL STD-810G). Appearance is the absolute key! The most beautiful and thinnest 6-inch flagship in history

In terms of appearance, it can be said that LG V3 continues the design language of G6’s double-sided glass and metal middle frame, and also adopts the FullVision high-profile 18:9 ratio. Compared with the screen, the extremely narrow bezel brings a higher screen-to-body ratio, and the use of an OLED panel with slightly curved edges. Ah Hui can say that this is the most beautiful LG flagship phone ever launched, and even looking at the current market, It is absolutely no problem to say that it is a flagship phone and also a leader in appearance.

LG V3 integrates all the top technologies of LG smartphones inside and out, with a 6-inch large screen, IP68 waterproof and dustproof, built-in 3300mAh battery that supports fast charging, and even built-in Qi standard It supports wireless charging and continues to pass the military MIL-STD 810G drop test. The body size and weight have even been significantly reduced, with the weight significantly reduced from 174g of the V30 to 158g. It can be said to be a proof of the crystallization of technological progress!

Therefore, while V3 uses a 6-inch screen with a high screen-to-body ratio of 18:9, it is also the lightest 6-inch flagship phone currently on the market! If we want to talk about the advantages of the V3, this must be a big plus point. Ah Hui has also sorted out the 6-inch flagship phones on the market. They can be lined up. The LG V3 is the lightest and thinnest flagship phone among them. Mobile phones, including many other brands with less than 6-inch screen, are defeated!

Hold it in your hand, this is the smallest and thinnest 6-inch large screen mobile phone in history!

The LG V3 18:9 full screen, the absence of any logo or redundant words on the front, and the high contrast and absolute black characteristics of OLED's self-illumination, make the LG V3 screen look like a whole piece when it is turned off. The pure black beautiful obsidian, it can be said that whether the screen is on or off, the visual impact is absolutely impressive.

The narrowed bezel and the fact that the corners of the screen are rounded with the same curvature as the fuselage can be said to have a very high integrity and it is really beautiful. Ah Fai loves the sense of coordination from this angle. Don’t forget that this design can make the screen and the corners of the frame better resistant to impact, and can better disperse the impact force when the phone is accidentally dropped. It complies with a number of international testing standards and has officially passed 14 military regulations. It is Currently, mobile phones have passed the most standards and passed the military MIL-STD 810G drop test; the LG V3 screen surface also unexpectedly uses the most powerful fifth-generation Corning Gorilla Glass (also on the back).

This time, the six-inch resolution QHD+ (1,440 x 2,880) used by LG V3 is the first screen that uses OLED technology since the previous Flex. However, to be honest, the color tone of the screen of LG V3 is even lower than that of other brands. Compared with its own G6, the color rendering is lighter and more blue-ish. Ah Fai would suggest that if you are not used to it, you can customize the color temperature in the display settings. After trying it, Ah Fai feels that he is more accustomed to it and it is "best for photos." ’’ color setting, to be honest, the LG V3 screen may feel a bit unaccustomed to you at first glance, but it seems to have the advantage of being more comfortable when you watch it for a long time.

The high contrast and self-luminous absolute black brought by OLED bring an audio and video feast to the visual effects of video playback. LG V3 supports the HDR standard of HDR 10; this HDR high dynamic range display technology standard , in addition to showing a wider color gamut and brightness, the details in dark and bright places are also better.

However, compared to its predecessor V20, LG V3 still has one part of the design that is omitted, which is the sub-screen. LG officially proposed a software function called "Floating bar" floating function menu for this change. Ah Hui’s personal opinion: In fact, the floating bar floating function menu is more appropriately an official software floating toolbar, allowing users to place program shortcuts or functions, or even market address books or music playback functions, etc. This can be done according to everyone You can choose to use it or not according to your preference.

The 18:9 ratio and the large screen naturally make the LG V3 the most suitable mobile phone for split windows in history, because when split into two, there are exactly two square 1:1 program windows!

I also tell you a secret trick. You can enter the developer options and let the system force any application to split the window. However, I cannot guarantee whether there will be no problem, but Ah Fai still strongly recommends that everyone You can turn on this small option.

The glass-backed body lens still has a slight protrusion, but the amplitude is very slight (but it also exchanges for a large aperture, which will be discussed in the camera chapter later). In addition to the LG logo, there is also a cooperative tuning The logo of B&O, a major audio manufacturer;

Fingerprint recognition is because almost all of the front is a screen, so it is naturally a common rear-mounted method. Pay attention to the fingerprint reader integrated into the power button of the LG flagship machine. It is also a feature. The position is naturally the position of the index finger when holding the phone.

In particular, in addition to the fingerprint recognition on the back of the LG V3, it is really convenient to use the Knock code to unlock the front screen. Sometimes it is placed on the phone or mounted on the frame of the car, etc. When it is inconvenient to use the fingerprint on the back, Knock code uses a customized tapping sequence separated by four spaces on the screen as an unlock password, which is really easy to use~

In addition, while Ah Hui was writing this article, I discovered that LG The V3 has also received an OTA update to support facial recognition unlocking

The glass body of the LG V3 has some color changes due to the reflection of light from different angles

The bottom of the LG V3 supports QC 3.0 It has a fast-charging Type C interface, and the top of the machine retains the 3.5mm headphone port, which seems to be a rare advantage these days (laughing). In addition to the large screen features, one of the key points of the LG V series' positioning is to emphasize that video recording includes radio effects. It is a specialized model, so you can also see a set of radio microphones on the top and bottom of the machine.

The plug provided by the original manufacturer supports 9V / 1.8A fast charging, so there is no need to purchase it separately.

Charging part LG V3 supports wireless charging technology and can be used with a charging pad with standard Qi wireless charging specifications.

On the left side of the machine are the volume adjustment buttons, and on the right side are the two-out-of-three card slots for dual SIM cards (supporting 4G+3G dual SIM card dual standby) and MicroSD memory card expansion slot.

The Taiwan version of LG V3 is a dual-SIM machine, supporting 4G + 3G dual-SIM dual standby. It supports Taiwan Telecom Company’s 4G LTE full frequency band. If supported by the telecom provider, it also supports the highest speed 4CA carrier. Aggregation; when only using a single SIM card, you can insert a microSD memory card to expand the storage space by 2TB

LG V3 also inherits the G6's IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating, which is the highest waterproof rating among flagship phones currently on the market. The best one is that it can resist dust and achieve "dust-free" performance, and the phone can be directly put into 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes. It also includes Type C and headphone interfaces, both of which are designed without a waterproof cover! Independent sound chip! It just sounds better!

LG V3 is also one of the smart phones currently on the market that places great emphasis on sound effects. Like the G6, it uses the ES9218+ Quad DAC, an independent sound chip, which can continue to deliver results comparable to professional-grade music players. decoding ability. This time, LG has added digital filtering and sound preset options to the Hi-Fi mode in the software, giving users greater freedom to adjust the sound to suit their own tastes.

The included B&O headphones are very sincere for a random pair of headphones! The cable is also a braided cable

Plug in the headphones to turn on the Hi-Fi Quad DAC function, which can be adjusted to include standard, enhanced, clear, live, bass and other sound modes, and can be combined with three different digital filters (More three-dimensional sound, more natural sound, clearer sound) to improve the sound effect.

This time Ah Hui tested the LG V3 with the included B&O PLAY headphones and his own new electric earphones Nuforce HEM1. He deliberately tested the network streaming music service and his own backup of FLAC lossless music. The function of Hi-Fi Quad DAC can be said to be very obvious. The details of lossless music are richer. The general network streaming music service has also been significantly improved. Ah Hui can clearly feel the difference even though his ears are not very sensitive. .

One more thing, by the way, is not directly related to the sound quality, but the LG V3 has a built-in FM radio function, and it is one of the few current flagship models that still retains this function. The largest aperture in history /1.6! The absolute strongest super wide angle!

The main lens of LG V3 is still a standard lens (16 million pixels, F/1.6 aperture, 71-degree viewing angle, OIS optical anti-shake) + ultra-wide angle (13 million pixels, F/1.9 aperture, 120 degree viewing angle), this is also a dual-lens configuration that Ah Hui likes very much because it is very convenient for travel. This time, the improvement of the overall image quality of the main lens of LG V3 is also the focus. First of all, the lens is The aperture has been increased to F/1.6, the largest maximum aperture value currently available on mobile phones, and it uses Crystal Clear Lens, which has higher light transmittance than ordinary plastic lenses and provides better shooting quality and color.

The LG V3 camera still supports Hybrid Auto Focus, OIS optical anti-shake and EIS electronic anti-shake technology; by the way, if you are wondering, the V3 also adds the laser focus that was removed from the G6 After putting it back into the hybrid focus system, the actual test, whether taking photos or shooting videos, showed that the focus accuracy and reliability of the LG V3 gave Ah Hui a very good impression!

The biggest advantage of wide-angle shooting is that it can present the picture from different perspectives. The difference between the two can be seen by comparing the following pictures. In particular, the ultra-wide-angle lens of LG V3 is 120 degrees actually seems to have a slightly smaller specification than the 125 degrees of the G6 and the 135 degrees of the V20 (oh, I miss it a bit), but it also brings better deformation suppression. The fisheye deformation effect of the past ultra-wide angle has almost disappeared. The wide-angle tension is maintained the same, and it can be said that it is still the strongest ultra-wide-angle shooting on a smartphone!

Click the camera icon to quickly switch between normal viewing angle and ultra-wide angle!

In addition, if you look closely, you can also find that the pixels of the LG V3’s ultra-wide-angle lens have been increased from 8 million to 13 million, and the aperture has also been increased from F/2.4 to F/1.9, although most of the attention is on the main lens. F/1.6 ultra-large aperture, but the progress of the LG V3’s ultra-wide-angle lens is also quite obvious!

Actual measurement Ah Hui also directly provided the actual shooting samples during this period. It can be simply said that the resolution of LG V3 is higher after the pixels are increased, and the larger aperture also increases the amount of light, whether in daytime or Even when shooting at night, you can find that noise suppression is also well controlled.

Ah Hui also shared the daily life photos taken during this period, including sunny days, cloudy days, and indoors. For more photos, please refer to Ah Hui's Flickr online album flickr/photos/ahui/sets /72157690023509412

Will continue to be updated

In the past, you had to take out a single eye to take a large-scale scene. Now you can take out such a wide-open blockbuster just by taking out the LG V3 from your pocket!

The dual camera special feature is still really fun! Picture-in-picture, multi-frame videos + photos, with built-in filter effects, fun and practical!

***Also, the front camera is a single lens that can switch between 90-degree and 80-degree general viewing angles. Whether you want to take individual photos or group photos, you can easily take photos while traveling. Ask someone to complete the photoshoot.

In addition to excellent hardware, the shooting software of LG mobile phones is still very rich in functions. In addition to Snap shooting, it can shoot and preview at the same time. Grid shooting can also synthesize a 3-second video + three or four photos. The photo becomes a photo; the shooting guide can provide a shooting guide mode, using a semi-transparent picture as a background example, so that people who cannot take pictures can easily reproduce the same composition; matching shooting can combine two completely different pictures. Photos to show creativity and fun.

Built-in 360-degree shooting using ultra-wide-angle synthesis, which can be said to be very practical. There is no need to spend any extra money to buy cameras or peripherals. When shooting, just enter the photo mode and switch to the 360-degree panoramic view function. Then follow the instructions on your phone and turn around, and a panoramic photo will be synthesized and instantly created. You can view it directly on your phone, or directly upload it to Facebook, Flickr and other platforms that support panoramic photos to share it with everyone! The video recording is the best and fun!

Both the dual lenses of LG V3 can support 4K30P recording specifications, but please note that only the main lens has OIS optical jitter, and the ultra-wide-angle lens only has EIS electronic anti-shock effect. In addition, if you have If OIS + EIS (main lens) or EIS (ultra wide-angle) function is used, it should be noted that the video rule only supports up to 1080p30p.

Although it is a pity that EIS cannot be enabled in 4K or 1080p60fps mode, it still does not change that LG V3 is currently the most complete and powerful mobile phone with video recording functions (no one)! Features such as stable focus and good sound reception have inherited the excellent reputation of G6/V20. This time V3 has added the so-called Cine video mode, which can be simply explained as adding real-time effects that have a very cinematic feel when recording. Filters (romantic, beautification, summer blockbuster, romantic comedy, documentary, drama, historical, mystery, dark ***, classical, melodrama, horror countdown, pop art and other effects can be quickly applied), which can also be further adjusted Including tone, grain, and vignetting, you can feel very good. Even if you want, LG V3 can shoot videos in the original format (recording is usually called log format), making it easier to adjust the color later. distortion. [embedded content]

There is also an interesting and practical video recording function called "Point zoom", which allows the user to select an area in the screen and then pull the zoom to zoom in on that area. Simulate the effect of zooming in! Very easy to use and intuitive!

I still have to emphasize that the LG V series radio is really powerful. It has a built-in high-definition AOP microphone that can record higher quality and wider dynamic frequencies than ordinary mobile phones. Compared with ordinary mobile phones, The recording can only receive 120dB, and the LG V3 can record 132dB. It can be said that the recording quality is professional!

The manual mode is very powerful! Ah Fai often gives an example. Is the manual mode of video recording strong enough? ! Just like the video manual mode of the LG V series, it supports focus peaking so that the focus point (high contrast) is marked in different colors, so you can quickly and intuitively identify whether the focus point is where you want it!

The manual recording mode can even be set to filter out wind noise and other noises. It is a significant improvement and is definitely a flagship! Performance and power test

LG V3 is equipped with Qualm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB RAM and 128GB built-in storage space.

The power test part uses PCMARK as a standard test, testing power operation between 80% and 20%, simulating a mixed application of Internet access, work, and games, which is closer to the continuous use scenario of medium and heavy loads. Detailed test standards You can refer to this description, the test result is 660 minutes (11 hours and 0 minutes)

For the complete performance and battery test collection, please refer to Ahui's database.

Performance and power measurement results vs G6 / V20 / G5

Some friends will mention that the inability to replace the battery is a disadvantage of V3 compared to V20. However, thanks to the advancement of technology, the power meter of V3 is amazing. Compared with V20 / G6 has made great progress. It can be said that it has the best power performance among all previous LG flagship phones. In addition, it supports both fast charging and Qi wireless charging. Power is definitely one of the advantages of LG V3.
