LG V40 ThinQ Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:

Verdict
The LG V40 ThinQ ticks most boxes for a premium flagship, including a gorgeous display, stunning design, capable cameras, and a day-long battery life. That said, it feels slightly overpriced for its asking price of Rs 50K, especially considering you can get the G7+ ThinQ – which, crudely put, is basically the same phone - for Rs 20K less. Add to that the smartphone`s outdated software, subpar gaming performance, and the fact that newer devices with better SoCs are just around the corner, the V40 ThinQ doesn`t come across as a steal, as some of its predecessors did. In fact, LG`s next f...

Design and display
+
For the most part, the LG V40 ThinQ looks and feels like a broader G7+ ThinQ, though there are some noteworthy changes to the design. For starters, LG is offering the device in a vibrant Moroccan Blue hue, which is outright gorgeous. Now, I'm sure you're no stranger to gradient hues on smartphones, but, I think that this is by far my favourite finish of the bunch. Instead of going for a glossy finish, LG has slapped a subtler matte coating to the back of the device, which lends it a silky touch. Moreover, while the finish doesn't attract as many eyeballs, it keeps the back from smudging or greasing too. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm tired of constantly wiping the back of my phone, so the V40 ThinQ's finish is a huge win in my books.

At 91mobiles, our Photographer in Chief Raj Rout is constantly shuffling between different lenses to get the best possible shot in a particular scenario. And that's exactly the type of flexibility LG wants to give buyers opting for the V40. The smartphone comes with a total of five sensors – three at the back and two on the front – each with varying aperture and use cases, allowing buyers to unleash their creativity to the fullest. The rear camera setup comprises a trio of sensors including a 12MP standard shooter with f/1.5 aperture, a 16MP wide-angle lens with f/1.9 aperture and lastly, a 12MP, f/2.4 aperture telephoto lens. For selfies, the smartphone features an 8MP standard lens with f/1.9 aperture which is assisted by a 5MP, f/2.2 aperture wide-angle shooter.

Hardware and software

As much as I like the smartphone's design, cameras and its display, things go south quickly in the performance and the software department. To cut a long story short, the LG V40 ThinQ doesn't feel like it's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 processor. Don't get me wrong, the smartphone is plenty fast for normal usage, but things take a turn for the worse when you play intensive games like PUBG Mobile on it. Unlike the POCO F1 (review) or the OnePlus 6T (review), I experienced a ton of frame drops whilst running the game at the highest graphics preset on the V40, which is unacceptable from a smartphone powered by one of the fastest chips in the market.
