Solid phone but better options out there.

I used to have an LG g5 and it was my favorite phone until the google pixel. When my pixel finally quit I decided to come back to LG and see what had happened. This phone is a very solid choice. The screen is great and the phone has great specs. The size isn't so big that you can't type properly. But the skin over the android OS is not so great and you won't be receiving updates like the pixel. If you get this on sale, it's worth picking up but there are definitely better choices out there.

Not enough storage

64GB is not enough storage for the average person. This phone has too many apps already on it, which makes the actual GB available at only 40GB. Other than that it's a good LG phone. The SD card slot is very hard to navigate also. Too expensive.

1st and last LG Phone Quality Issues
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have the Sprint version. The only this good about the phone is the customer service give by Sprint. My second LGV40 replacement died a few weeks ago. Just will not power on. Zero physical damage and not water damage. Always kept in a case with a screen protector. LG Customer Service is not the worst but it is up there. I thought I would give LG a shot but from the 1st few weeks I had the phone I knew it was a mistake. 2 Year Promise is a joke. When the phone worked it was great. Took the phone to Sprint/T-Moblie Store and they could not get it to do anything and just offer to sell me another phone. I have never had a phone die on me. Still have a working Iphone4s and various Microsoft Windows phones that still work. Even one that I dropped in a pool. Come on LG get it together.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Having alot of intermitten, bad sound quality on the receiving end of calls. It gets static and echos badly. Its so bad. I can barely use the phone for what it is for. To make phone calls...whats strange is. This issue is intermitten.
Ive had this ph for less than a year.
Went from lg6 to this v40thinq.
Loved the lg6.
Ive tried everything to fix. Including a factory reboot. It didnt help.
Sadly. Shopping for a new phone now. Im done with LG Phones.
All the other functions work well.

A comforting back up.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Great overall phone. Camera is a great back up for pro shots. I would never expect a phone to replace a Pro camera. When needed it is a comfort to know that I have it. Sometimes it will really surprise you with the results.
I use my phone mostly with a headset for hands free if need be when shooting.
Voice quality a and clarity have not been an issue.
I am very satisfied with this back up camera and phone quality.

Don't buy this phone!

This phone has endless bluetooth problems. It will only connect to other bluetooth devices as a new device, never automatically after that. LG tech support couldn't figure it out. I regret buying it.

I went from a Galaxy S8+ to this phone & how did I regret that decision! I went back to Best Buy & exchanged it for a Note 9. I expected so much more from the LG V40 Thinq.
