The LG V30 is the device we all know is launching on
August 31st in Berlin. New report from Korea says we will be getting two LG
V30s instead of one, a first for the series. One will go by the V30 name and
the other will be called the V30 Plus.
The info comes from Korean news outlet, ETNews,
which says the differences between the two models will be based on storage. The
V30 will have 64GB and the Plus may have 128GB of storage. Other differences
may include the “audio system” and the addition of wireless charging, similar
to what they did with the LG G6 and G6 Plus.
For the audio system, we still don’t know what to
expect since the V-series is known for its Hi-Fi audio prowess, so one can’t
possibly have a Hi-Fi chip while the other doesn’t. Rumors floating around says
the V30 may come with a Bang & Olufsen audio system. It remains to be seen
if both phones will feature different variants of the audio system or one will
keep the Quad-DAC audio support from the V20.
The pricing detail for the phones were also made
public. The LG V30 will sell for US$ 700 and the V30 Plus will be priced at US$ 875.
Both devices will go on sale on September 15. Since ETNews says both devices
will have the same display, RAM, cameras, battery and IP rating, it means
buyers will be paying US$ 175 more for extra storage, wireless charging and a
better audio system.
The LG V30 will have 6GB of RAM, 16MP and 13MP rear
cameras and LG’s version of Android Pay. ETNews also adds that the V30 has
gotten praises about its “outstanding design” and “sense of grip” from Mobile
carriers who have had a hands-on experience with the phone. The sense of grip
comment is definitely referring to the portability of the device despite it’s
large 6-inch display, thanks to its small bezels and unique display size.
