Author’s Opinion
The LG V40 ThinQ is a premium smartphone for premium smartphone users. The device is loaded with features. The cameras on the device looks perfect for any photographic session in any condition. The device flaunts a dual front camera which is rare even in premium smartphones. The display looks stunning with the given aspect ratio and it also comes with the protection of Corning Gorilla 5. The configuration can give a tough competition.
Talking about the competition in this price range of around 50K, the real competitors of this smartphone are Samsung Galaxy S9+, Apple iPhone 7 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S8+, Apple iPhone 8 and OnePlus 6T (8GB RAM). So, the competition in this price range is decent with some really good flagship smartphone.
If compared with the competition, the smartphone is offering the Snapdragon 845 SoC, Five Cameras Camera and other similar specifications. On the other hand, LG V40 ThinQ is offering tons of others features (listed above).
Overall, We recommend LG V40 ThinQ to buy in this price range. However, at the time of writing this article, our first recommendation will be Samsung Galaxy S9+.
