BERLIN, August 31, 2017 — LG Electronics
(LG) today took the wraps off the eagerly anticipated LG V30, the latest
iteration of the company’s V series flagship smartphones. The LG V30 improves on the strengths of the V series phones in providing
a whole new mobile experience and offering optimal multimedia features. The V30 features many industry
innovations – the first F1.6 aperture
camera
lens, the first glass Crystal Clear Lens, the first OLED FullVision display, Cine Video mode for producing movie-quality videos, premium sound with advanced Hi-Fi Quad DAC, sound tuning by B&O PLAY, and Voice Recognition. The V30 sets a new standard in the
evolution of premium smartphones.

The
LG V30 features powerful video capabilities that make it a leader in the era of
smartphone videography. The main camera on the rear of the V30 features an F1.6
aperture that lets in more light for brighter, more dynamic shots. Paired with
the glass Crystal Clear Lens which delivers more accurate colors and clearer
images than a plastic lens, the V30 is the most capable image capturing device
in a smartphone. The second lens in the V30 dual camera is an upgraded 13MP
wide angle lens with two-thirds less edge distortion than in the V20.

LG’s
new Cine Video mode allows anyone to produce movies like a pro, thanks to its
powerful Cine Effect and Point Zoom features. Users can now take high-quality videos
enhanced by the cinematic hues of various movie genres with only a smartphone. While
typical cameras only allow one to zoom in on the center of the frame, Point
Zoom allows users to zoom in on any subject smoothly using the zoom slider,
regardless of its position in the frame, another industry first. And Cine
Effect provides a palette of 15 presets to give videos a unique movie-like look,
from romantic comedy, summer blockbuster, mystery, thriller and classic movie,
among others.

LG V30
supports LG-Cine Log which allows for greater creative flexibility when
capturing videos. With the ability to preserve a wide dynamic range and color gamut,
LG-Cine Log videos files can save far more accurate image details. LG-Cine Log also
allows for recording video using log gamma curve for maximum flexibility in
producing the look the user wants during post-production.

Photo
capturing is even more advanced with the new V30. The camera’s Manual Mode takes
on a whole new level of capability with Graphy. With Graphy, any shutterbug can
produce quality photos simply by choosing the image and pressing the shutter.
Available in Manual Mode, users can select professional images from the Graphy
website or mobile app and apply the same presets such as white balance, shutter
speed, aperture and ISO to photos taken with the V30.

The LG V30 builds on the strengths of
the OLED FullVision display in a body that is surprisingly compact, slim and
light. Even with a large 6-inch 18:9 OLED FullVision display, the V30 is 8mm
shorter and 3mm narrower than its predecessor, resulting in a firmer, more
confident grip. With a thickness of only 7.3mm and tipping the scale at 158g,
the V30 is the lightest among smartphones in the 6-inch and over category. The
tempered glass that covers both the front and back is curved all the way around
the edge, resulting in a sleek, integrated look and feel.

The advanced dual camera module featuring
a 16MP standard angle camera and a 13MP wide angle camera is smaller than the
module in the V20, resulting in the near flat rear profile of the V30. For the
smoothest and sharpest images, the main standard angel camera is supported by
Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and
Hybrid Auto Focus that combines both Laser Detection Auto Focus and Phase
Detection Auto Focus.

The
QHD+
(2880 x 1440) OLED FullVision display offers faster response time with
minimal afterimages when viewing an action-packed movie or playing a game with
quick movements. The V30 takes full advantage of this rapid response time and
the exceptional graphics delivered by the robust Qualcomm®
Snapdragon™ 835 Mobile Platform to support Daydream, Google’s platform for high
quality, mobile VR. With Daydream, users can explore new worlds, enjoy personal
VR cinema and play games that put them in the center of the action.

LG
has equipped the V30 with a Hi-Fi Quad DAC with audio tuning by sound engineers
from world renowned audio brand B&O PLAY – delivering an authentic and
superior acoustic experience – as well as a set of earphones by B&O PLAY, also
finely tuned for an optimal listening experience. 1 Digital filters adjust the pre- and
post-ringing of the impulse response of music with three filters which users can
select. Four pre-programmed presets mix and match sound frequencies and decibel
scales to produce the quality of audio found in professional earphones.

The
V30 is the first global smartphone to support MQA (Master Quality
Authenticated) technology that allows for the streaming of high-resolution
audio. MQA captures the sound of the original studio master and folds it into a
small file to make high-resolution audio easy to stream. The V30’s recording
capability is upgraded as well, with a receiver that doubles as a microphone to
capture a broader sound spectrum, from gentle chimes to thunderous drums.

The Google Assistant on the LG V30
will feature unique capabilities specific to the phone. Saying “Ok Google, take a romantic Cine Video” will
activate Cine Video preset to Romantic.
Say “Ok Google, take a wide angle selfie”
to launch the camera app with the setting on the front-facing camera wide angel
mode. The Google Assistant on the V30 takes advantage of advanced signal
processing enabling users to use the voice command, “Ok Google” even when loud music is being played. In addition, select
LG appliances including a washing machine, dryer, refrigerator, air purifier,
oven, air conditioner and robot vacuum are compatible with the Google Assistant
when using the V30 and Google Home. Users can say, “Ok Google, talk to LG to wash my clothes” to start a load of
laundry.

The convenience of the Second Screen
which was introduced in past V series smartphones has evolved into a new
Always-on Display (AOD) feature and Floating Bar. When the display is off, the
AOD replaces the Second Screen by providing shortcuts to Quick Tools and Music
Player without having to turn on the display. The optional semi-transparent Floating Bar
can be customized with up to five apps for easy access to the most used
applications. When not needed, the Floating Bar can be dragged off to the
side so it doesn’t take up any screen space.

Now
with four different options, security on the LG V30 is more advanced than ever.
With Face Recognition, the V30 can be unlocked instantaneously using the front
facing camera and without pressing any buttons even when the phone’s display is
off. Voice Recognition uses a combination of the user’s voice and user-defined
keywords (optimally three to five syllables) to unlock the V30. The reliable
Fingerprint Sensor resides on the rear of the phone for fast, accurate security
and Knock Code allows tapping a pattern on the screen to unlock the V30.

The
V30 combines solid durability with safety with a slim and light design. One of
the design aspects in the V30 that enhances durability and makes for tensile
strength is an H-Beam structure, a construction technique found in modern buildings
that integrate the edge with a metal frame. The phone also features Gorilla®
Glass 5, Corning’s most advanced tempered glass, on both the front and rear. The
V30 meets U.S. Department of Defense requirements for durability, having passed
14 categories of the MIL-STD 810G Transit Drop Test making it compliant for
military operations.

LG
applied a heat pipe and a cooling pad in the V30 to dissipate heat quickly. The
V30 can be used in any situation without worry thanks to its IP68 water and
dust resistance. The phone is perfectly sealed from dust and can be immersed in
up to 1.5 meters of water for as long as 30 minutes without impacting the
function. With Quick Charge 3.0, the V30 charges from empty to 50 percent in around
30 minutes. The V30 also offers wireless charging for the ultimate in
convenience.

“The
V series has always been demonstrating new practical mobile technologies that
contribute to high quality content creation and the V30 has not lost sight of
its roots,” said Juno Cho, president of LG Electronics Mobile Communications
Company. “With its F1.6 Crystal Clear Lens Camera and Cine Video mode, the
LG V30 is designed to help create professional-looking content without
professional-level complexity.”

Customers
of LG V30 will receive USD 100 worth of in-game purchases when downloading and installing
the popular game Beat Fever by WRKSHP. The games take full advantage of the
phone’s immersive OLED FullVision display and high-quality audio capability.

The
V30 will become available to consumers in South Korea starting on September 21
and will be followed by key markets in North America, Asia, Europe, Africa and
the Middle East. The V30 with 64GB ROM will come in four beautiful elegant
hues: Aurora Black, Cloud Silver, Moroccan Blue and Lavender Violet
2 while the
LG V30+ with 128GB of storage will be available in limited markets.

Visitors
to IFA 2017 are encouraged to stop by LG’s booth in Hall 18 of Messe Berlin to
see the exciting LG V30 for themselves.
