    Have had this for 4 years now. Cost around 300 USD when bought.
    One of the only phones you can get at this price range with OLED 1440p 60Hz screen, USB3.1 (Can connect with HDMI to TV or PC-monitor) and a 3.5mm audio-jack in the same phone.
    Nowadays phones in the 600-900 USD-range doesn't even have this.
    The only problem i've had with this phone is the camera which has issues with the focus and also in some rare cases the phone restarts randomly.
    It has a built in theme manager so you can install themes from play store without having to root the phone.

        I don't know the difference between "Opinion" and "Review". But I love the phone. Wrote a review. For anyone interested, look under reviews.

                  https://www.xda-developers.com

                  You then need to look for android 10 firmware for LG V30 or V30S. The V30 firmware usually works on the V30S. You then look for a stock ROM like the one your phone comes with except with android 10, or you can install a custom ROM like LineageOS custom ROM that comes with Android 10 already. I got LineageOS because it has google completely removed. You can use F-Droid, an open source app store to download the Aurora Store to download google apps. You can download them anonymously or you can sign in if you wish. I love lineageOS because I know I'm not being spied on by google. After you've picked your firmware you then you just need to get TWRP.

                  https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/

                  Once TWRP is installed you can then flash firmware on to your phone and do a bunch of other stuff; and if everything goes well you'll have android 10 on your stock or custom ROM on your unlocked LG V30S like me :p

                  Be aware though that you can brick your phone if you aren't paying attention. So please follow the guides exactly and don't skip anything, and if you don't understand a step then look it up before continuing. Also make sure not to delete your current ROM without the firmware. I did this originally without a SD card that had the firmware on it and I wiped my data for a fresh install while also deleting the firmware that was stored on my phone's internal memory and then wiping the ROM so I didn't have an operating system to boot into lol. It took me like a week to figure out how to get everything back to the way it was all because I didn't use an SD card. So I think you should probably use an SD card for your phone and put the firmware on that lol :p

                    Good device when I first bought it but I've come to regret that now as I won't be getting Android 10 and that for me going forward is a big let down. Would advise anyone to buy LG at your own risk as if having an international unlocked version and receiving updates from time of purchase was like watching molasses roll uphill.

                          Recently received an update for Android pie. Added gestures and clean non cartoonist interface. I am getting noticed to keep my Redmi K20 pro aside for some time. Was hoping for an night mode in camera after software update. Rest all very smooth.

                            Recently updated to Android 9 through the LG bridge program and since then I've noticed a slight lag in the OS and the always on "Hey Google" "Ok Google" doesn't respond as easily as it did before the update. Every time it doesn't recognize I have to restart my phone. If you use the retrain voice feature after completion and you select to have it work when the phone is locked it gives error saying try again and to restart your phone.

                                If you dont plan to change phone anytime soon, do not upgrade android version. Learned my lesson the hard way.
