It is the first device to feature a plastic OLED FullVision display. The ‘Always-on’ display replaces the secondary screen seen on previous V series devices.

Cameras
On the camera front, the new LG V30 features a dual rear camera setup. It combines a 16-megapixel sensor with f/1.6 aperture, 71-degree wide-angle lens and a 13-megapixel sensor with a 120-degree wide-angle lens and f/1.9 aperture. The LG V30 also sports a 5-megapixel front camera with f/2.2 aperture and 90-degrees wide-angle lens.
The f/1.6 aperture is a game changer. It will allow the camera to capture more light, and sharper pictures, even in conditions of low light. The Crystal Clear Lens on dual cameras adds to the process of correct color reproduction and clearer photographs. Earlier, LG had announced that the V30 will feature the ‘clearest’ lens ever on a smartphone. Other camera features include laser detection autofocus, optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS).
