Can't wait for comparisons to the previous iterations. Still not big on carrying an external DAP.

The price of v30 was around 900 too with 64 gb. Probably next month will found on ebay for 550-600.
But i keep my v30

This has Snapdragon 845 so a more efficient chip, even if the screen is bigger battery can last the same like on V30 or maybe more. I am hoping for a 128 GB version soon and also i need a UK release as they are not available for purchase on eBay, just yet.

i know about chipset. my doubt is if the v40 using uapp sounds better compared to v30. but as you said, the v40 isn´t in the market(i refere to europe)so we wait

It's really not worth the upgrade. There is such a thing as a phone being too big even with popsocksets attached on the back.
I didn't really notice that much of a sound difference using Codex vmodas and audioquest wire playing lossless from usb otg

True. Shame that we're losing choices as consumers. All phones seem to be getting larger.

Steve Jobs on large phones...

<Steve took the opportunity to rip on bigger rivals, saying that making a phone so big "you can't get your hand around it" helps (with the Apple antenna issues) , but that "no one's going to buy that.">

I've been saying this for over a decade. The first smartphones (many of which I had) were larger due to all the tech packed in but, now that manufacturers can choose to make smaller phones with the same features, they continue to make them bigger and bigger.

Because of this (and perhaps why the trend exists), many consumers think smaller phones must lack features so they will actually pay more for a device that won't even fit in their hands/pockets. Similar to people paying more for the biggest/heaviest truck/suv they can buy; so much that some auto companies will soon stop making regular cars. I guess bigger screens (despite struggles with battery life) are like horsepower bragging rights.

If i can get a phone with 16:9 aspect ratio as the LG G Flex and 6.5 inch screen i don't mind as long battery is over 4000 mHa.
With V40 if we set the screen resolution at 1080 battery should last much longer.

I don't know his measuring methods, but he claims audio output on V40 has more power than V30. So maybe LG enabled amp control?

Holy crap! 1.07 volts?! It sure looks like it! lol Cuz yeah in the past I just assumed sites like Phone Arena were measuring the headphone output volume based on normal mode's max volume. This is def way higher!

If the SD845 is more efficient how come the V35 has a significantly shorter battery life than the V30?

Disappointing. What headphones did you try? Any other impressions so far?

Purchased mine the other day.
I prefer the sound signature over the V30
Volume is much louder on the V40.
I am running the Andromeda"a with the V40.
Beautiful sound.
