    Verdict

    The LG V40 ThinQ (6GB + 64GB) is a flagship smartphone from 2018, defined by its versatile five-camera system and strong audio capabilities, featuring a 6.4-inch QHD+ (3120x1440) OLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB of RAM, and 64GB of expandable storage. Key pros include its incredibly light and slim, yet durable (MIL-STD-810G compliant, IP68 water-resistant) design, a rare 3.5mm headphone jack with a high-fidelity 32-bit Quad DAC, and a powerful Boombox speaker. Primary cons are its mediocre 3,300mAh battery life compared to some competitors, a tendency for camera photo quality to fall short of rivals in certain challenging light conditions, and the phone shipping with the older Android 8.1 Oreo operating system at launch.
