One $800 phone with extra lag, please.
In our initial review of the LG V30, we came away from the phone feeling quite impressed. Our own Alex Dobie praised the V30 for its sleek design, great cameras, high-quality DAC, and buttery smooth performance. However, now that the V30 is available to purchase in the U.S. and customers are starting to get hands-on time with the phone, some conflicting thoughts are starting to pop up.
Although most everyone seems to be onboard with the V30 from a hardware stance, the performance of the software has left some scratching their hands as to whether or not LG's latest flagship is worth the cash.
Here's what some users in our forums had to say.

Could be the AT&T bloat and maybe the unlocked version would be fine but idk. I'm going to try a hard reset tomorrow but something tells me it's LGs software.

Running into lag on a brand-new phone is never fun, but thankfully, not everyone seems to be having this issue.

I was specifically testing for that too, as I can't stand lag (returned Note 7 due to lag, before the recall). They were not next to each other, but I went back and forth few times, and couldn't tell a difference.
