LG V30 to get OLED display, new leaked render for the phone’s display surfaces

Updated on Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 10:57AM by Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

LG has just confirmed that its next flagship, the V30 is getting a six-inch OLED display as rumours have stated before. LG says it’ll get a FullVision display, which means it gets a similar display with the G6. That means, we’d get to see an 18:9 aspect ratio with thinner surrounding bezels. GSMArena got a new leaked render showing off what the display could possibly look like. You can see it between the G6 and the Samsung Galaxy S8+ in the image above. As The Verge points out, it’ll be a smaller device than the V20 but will have bigger screen real estate. Its upper and lower bezels will be reduced by 20 and 50 percent, respectively. The LG logo will be relegated to the back of the device. Aside from that the OLED display will cover 109 percent of the DCI-P3 color and support HDR10 with VR compatibility in mind. It’ll be LG’s second OLED phone since the G Flex 2 was announced two and a half years ago. We’re expecting to see the V20 successor at IFA in Berlin on August 31^st.

The FullVision display’s immersive and expansive visual experience is enhanced on the 4.15 million pixels of the QHD+ (1440 x 2880) OLED screen. Superb image quality is achieved via emissive OLED technology which reproduces perfect black and colours with greater accuracy and across a wider colour spectrum.

LG V30 specs show up on GeekBench

With the LG V30 coming out at the end of August, which is the day before IFA kicks off in Berlin, anticipation is high for the new flagship. Now, we get to see more about the device as it’s been spotted on GeekBench app. It seems to be sporting the same specs that flagships coming out this year have: a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and 4GB of RAM. It’ll also reportedly run on the latest version of Android Nougat (7.1.2). Based on the GeekBench leak, it shows that the multicore score of the V30 is well over the 6,300 mark but it still doesn’t beat the Xiaomi Mi 6 with its score over 6,700. That said, benchmark scores aren’t the only indicators whether a device will work well in real life. We’d just have to wait for the device to launch on August 31^st in Germany.

LG will most likely debut V30 on August 31st at IFA

All signs point to the V30 being the new handset LG is unveiling at this year’s IFA. The South Korean tech company just sent out save-the-date press invites for the event. While it doesn’t say which device they’re planning to unveil but the invite posted above shows the shape of a smartphone with a not-so-subtle silhouette of the V in the back. And as Android Authority points out, the resolution of the invite is at 2,880 x 1,440. The significance of that is it’s been rumoured that the V30 will also have a 2:1 aspect ratio like the G6.

Much has been said about the device already. It’s said the V30 will lose the secondary display and will have an OLED screen this time. Wireless charging is expected to be available on the device, too. Aside from that the V30 will reportedly run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and at least 4GB of RAM. All of these have been speculation, though, so we just have to wait until the end of August to find the truth.

Sony tipped to be going bezel-less for the smartphone it’s launching at IFA 2017

Sony smartphones have looked almost identical since forever. We exaggerate, we know. But there is a certain truth to it. And one element Sony keeps having on its phones are thicker than usual bezels. But the latest “news” from the rumour mill is the Japanese company might be ready to shed those bezels and they’re going to do it pretty soon. A post on Weibo (via Gizmo China) claims that Sony will be launching a truly bezel-less smartphone at IFA 2017, which is happening at the start of September in Berlin, Germany.
