LG V30: Smartphone with Audio and Camera Focus and Log Gamma Curve

[15:45 Thu,31.August 2017 by Thomas Richter]

LG presented its new V30 smartphone model at the IFA 2017 in Berlin today - the focus of the innovations is on the camera and the recording of 4K video and high-quality audio - a previously neglected aspect of smartphones. The V30 offers two lenses (one with a 71° wide angle - the other with a super wide angle of 120°) to take optimal pictures depending on the shooting situation and subject.

In the manual mode of video recording, the shutter speed (up to 30 seconds) and the audio levels can be set in addition to many other parameters. The special point-zoom mode allows you to zoom in on selected objects and adjust the zoom speed. Special movie locos can be selected from 15 new cine effects (such as "Film Noir" or "Romanticism") to manipulate the color tone of the recorded videos. The video recording in the new LG-Cine Log mode offers a wider dynamic range and color spectrum via Log Gamma Curve and enables the creation of the look desired by the user during post-processing.

The main camera (with the 71° lens) uses a 16 megapixel Sony IMX 351 1/3.1 sensor with a very bright F1.6 lens and has an optical image stabilization - in addition, one of the 6 elements of the lens is made of glass (the others are - as usual - made of plastic), which should lead to a 4% higher light yield and in combination with the F1.6 lens, the V30 is particularly sensitive to light. The super wide-angle lens with F1.9 aperture is captured by a 13 megapixel Samsung sensor (without OIS).

Audio recording is done using two microphones, which are supposed to deliver 24-bit sound with a high dynamic range and low distortion. With the V30, LG also attaches great importance to audio reproduction with a 32-bit HiFi Quad DAC (Digital-Analog-Converter) from Bang and Olufsen.

The 7.3mm high and 158 gram heavy VG30 (Android 7.1.2) uses a modern Snapdragon 835 chipset with 4 GB RAM and 64/128GB memory (expandable via micro SD card). Its 6"P-OLED display in 18:9 format has a resolution of 2,880x1,440 pixels, supports HDR10 and covers 148 percent of the sRGB color space and 109 percent of the DCI-P3 color space.

The V30 will be delivered in Korea from September 21st, then also in Europe - the price for the 64GB version of the V30 will be around 900 Euro.
