Exactly. More to the point, LG wouldn't create a slightly different manufacturing process for different phones using the same tech. The most they would do is give Google first pick out of the p-oled yield (best screen out of the batch in other words). That's a possibility too, since Google...

ChazzMatt Please don't dismiss the fact that they're the same screens, which is why I quoted you. Don't dismiss that either. Software or not, it's the hardware that's made by LG which has caused screens issues for both phones. No worries though, if you need, I'll keep providing you with...

Using your previous statement: If they're the same screen then LG V30 buyers shouldn't worry...oh yea wait...

Google ‘actively investigating’ reports of Pixel 2 XL screen burn-in https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/22/16518298/google-investigating-pixel-2-xl-screen-burn-in Google acknowledges Pixel 2 XL display issue, is ’actively investigating’...

Google is acknowledging that they are now actively investigating the reported screen issues. I have listed the excuses those in this thread give why LG shouldn't take blame. Let me know if I missed anything. - they're reviewing pre-production units - Google and Huawei are using the screens -...

The cat is officially out of the bag. LG's quality control (and p-oled issues) hasn't just affected the V30. Now you will see people wanting to shift blame to LG for messing up their beloved Google Pixel 2 phones. I happen to think the V30 is better than the pixel 2 XL but that's beside the...

That's what I think this partly is (No disrespect to the OP). And while the V30 is a flagship phone that is more manageable in hand, I don't think it should be a direct comparison as others have mentioned (even taking away the S Pen). Still, the note 8 is the benchmark for all android phones to...

Speaking about the hardware, the V30 is generally more comfortable to use size and weight-wise. It has better battery life and DACs. Is it a better phone than the Note 8 technologically speaking? No. If I already owned a Note 8 would I move to V30 believing it to be the all around better...

While it's true ChazzMatt has spread some bad (mis)information about this issue, it's ultimately up to the individual to determine and research if they want the phone or not. I went ahead and ordered the V30 from T-Mo and I pray it's doesn't have the screen issues like some are legitimately...

If you don't see any "banding" (meaning faint uneven bands of shading, streaks, or blotches) when you dim the screen, you should be fine. Make sure that the phone you are buying is the one your testing. Please keep in mind that a store's bright lighting is not the best environment to see these...

You're absolutely right. LG doesn't consider it an issue. Is that a problem in itself? Dunno. Bottom line, the consumers and potential buyers of the phone will determine whether it's a non-issue.

Totally this. ChazzMatt: It's clear you've never had a P-OLED screen to understand these issues. That's ok. Hopefully you won't run into the screen problems others are having. I wonder if you're even planning on buying this phone? Regardless, your take to completely dismiss this problem is...

No disrespect, but this has everything to do with LG's screens now. If they're repeating the same mistakes made with phones years ago, that's a problem. I don't care about whether Huawei or the All Great Google has decided on using LG's screens. I like the V30 and what it has to offer. But, if...

I understand we love what this phone represents, but this issue is real. People notice it without having to be prompted. How would you like to pay $800+ for a new phone just to return it hoping that the next one doesn't have banding, etc? Just because you don't have it, doesn't mean it's not a...

Well, production unit issues are backing up my previous statements. https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/09/report-lg-v30s-screen-exhibiting-color-imbalance-issues.html "According to a recent report from South Korea, LG customers who have had the opportunity to purchase the LG V30 after its...

Ok...Find me a pre-review that compares the V30's screen quality directly to another phone's screen quality. You'll find a lot of Note 8 and G6 reviews reference the V30's change to OLED but no direct OLED quality comparison. Secondly, have you owned any P-OLED screen phones before? I have...

It's disturbing. There are at least two reviews that note banding and screen uniformity issues. There will be more. This issue is cause by the P-OLED manufacturing process LG employs. Screen colors are vibrant and gorgeous ... that is, until you start reducing the LED color input (or dimming...

I really like this phone but all the ways Asus tried to kill its success boggles my mind. The lack of an official bootloader when all their other models have one is just another nail in the coffin of an otherwise really good phone. I thought Asus had learned their lesson... guess not. The 3...

My phone has none of those issues you've described, but based on what I've read, it's one of two things - your phone, or everything else. Meaning, if it's your phone that is just plain defective and you have a warranty - exchange it. If the connection problems persists, more than likely it's...

Definitely put in your requests through email and at the zentalk forum. Could be coincidence, but I almost feel like the 'always on backlit' was done at a specific person's request (seen here) because it was early on and they were so vocal on the forum for this issue. Also the forum's audience...

I saw that, but my excitement was tempered by the fact that the beta tester program is strictly for the ZE552KL not our Deluxe phones. Asus has yet to even provide the official unlock for the Deluxe while the ZE552KL already has it. This makes me wary including the news that the Deluxe user...

Hey Nick, Phones Issues IMEI: I'm on ATT too. I have the 6/64GB version. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but even when you have LTE connection, it will still only show up as 4G+. Bluetooth call priority issues: Sound like you need to set the priority This quick read may help. General...

I would agree. I think this phone is fantastic but with no official bootloader it really does stop the XDA community from seeing what this phone is about. Reading the Taiwanese Zentalk forums it looks like there's an unofficial way to root the phone but who wants to take that risk when everyone...

That one chipchick review was definitely dumb. Couldn't read one of my fingers? really? laughable... I have seen reviews of another phone (LG V20) where reviewers and users sh*t-talked it's fingerprint reader, realizing only later that they forgot to take the new protective plastic cover off of...

Tomsguide review is the closest to explaining the phone in general terms along with it's shortcomings. I don't think it necessarily negative either. I've read and viewed quite a few reviews but my own experience after almost 2 weeks is that its a really good phone with the issues listed in the...

I got the SD820 and feel I won't miss the performance vs. the $300 extra bite. The phones can take up to a 2TB card, so unless you prefer internal storage, or need two working sim cards at all times, the storage difference is of no concern. After de-bloating, my phone gets a score of 148718 -...

Thanks for the review and update as you've been using the phone. You've got a beast of a phone there. It's nice to hear someone else NOT complain about the UI. Bloatware maybe, but the UI is not that intrusive as people make it out to be. ---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous...

Apparently the Samsung S7/Edge did not have the option to turn of the capacitive buttons either. Couple of apps were made by people to control the buttons specifically on the samsungs. Unfortunately, they do not work on our phones. Most other backlit button apps need root first. I don't doubt...

It does have a LED light indicator. It only flashes green for me at the moment. It also turns on when charging. You can turn off the LED in the settings. I played around with the developer options and secret menus but could not find anything to affect the duration and on/off of the backlit...

Wow that's really impressive! In comparison to your SD821 version My SD820 variant got a 139817.

I just started with the camera apps so it inconclusive because XDA fan favorites haven't been tried yet. I did use the Google camera (tried 3.1 and 3.2)however the HDR toggle wouldn't show up and the shutter speed was slow. I was talking about the external speaker being weak. I'll talk about...

Blues-n-Blazin - Didn't know you had ordered. That's great. I can see now why you were so critical(?) of my intial review. pacattack81 - Excellent. Both of you overnighted so sounds like you'll have it around the same time. I am very curious to see what you both think of the phone. Same with...

Yeah there is no denying those specs on the v20. Congrats on your pick. I've decided to keep the Zenfone, it's really, really good despite the admitted bloatware I had to disable. Once you get your v20 you won't even think about any other phones...welll. ...maybe until the Note 8. ;)

Haha. Great trolling :p. It does look look like the smaller variant. Like I mentioned the sizes are more similar than the pictures makes it seem. The LG v20 had the security attachment on the back at the store so it was raised on the table when I took the picture making the size difference look...

Went to compare the Deluxe and LG v20 . Here are the things I noticed in a quick comparison. Some photos are included below: 1. Look - The v20 has a fantastic front. Small bezels and a clean design. When you turn it over, the back doesn't match the front in appeal. Not really a big deal. The...

I think you'll be happier with your decision. The v20 is a solid phone with few issues to complain about. It's thin and light for it's size and as you mentioned the camera is only slightly not as good as the pixel (although I hear it does better in low light) and the DAC can't be beat - the...

pacattack81 - No doubt, the pixel is well built and does what its supposed to do. It's worthy of its praise. It's not an exciting phone though and it's missing a few things. But, that won't stop tons of people from wanting and buying it. It's a no fuss phone. Pitting the Zenfone 3 Deluxe SE...

That's funny because I considered going for the SD821 version because it had a supposed shorter delivery date. In the end I felt if I really liked the phone I could always return it for the version with 10% cpu bump and much larger storage. In reference to the LG V20, that phone was my first...

I completely understand. This may be little consolation as I ordered the lesser version of the 5.7 inch deluxe (SD820 64/6GB) but the phone is currently on a FedEx truck to be delivered to me today. I am in California. Interestingly enough, my version was estimated to ship after the deluxe...

Vocal consumers who would review the phone to give a normal everyday perspective of the camera haven't received the phone yet. It's just now shipping to places like US/CAN. Though India and Taiwan have had it for quite some time. However one thing is clear regarding the camera based on the many...

For those in the US that pre-ordered directly from their website, Asus has officially started shipping the deluxe version of the phones as of yesterday. If you haven't received a confirmation, you will shortly. There are accounts (on Reddit) were some (well one person) has already received...

You are early and it also sounds like you are somewhat anxious as well. Understandable. Visually and on paper it holds it's own against other flagships. A big part of the vocal masses haven't even received the phone yet. To be sure there's not a lot going on in Zentalk forums for the deluxe yet...
