IFA: LG confirms a smartphone with curved OLED display

In the run-up to the IFA in Berlin the rumours of new smartphones are increasing. Among the usual suspects, like Samsung and Sony, LG has now sort-off opened the lid of silence to a small revolution. LG has not yet released a lot of details under the hood  and the gossip seething in. According to rumours, it could be the V30, which should have a Snapdragon 835, 4 GB of memory and 64 GB of Flash. It is to be distributed more widely than the V20. The scene hopes for more information, such as whether if it really is the V30, from the press conference of LG, which will be held at the IFA 2017 on 31.8. At 9 o’clock.

The next high-end smartphone from LG will get an OLED display with a particularly thin edge and six-inch diagonal, the manufacturer announces. The fact that this is the V30 does not appear explicitly from the press release, but the V20, which is not available in Germany, is mentioned as the predecessor. With this, LG apparently wants to establish a further top series alongside the G line.

 

The display is called LG fullvision, which means the aspect ratio of 2: 1: It shows 1440 × 2880 pixels, which leaves beside a usual 16: 9 picture still 320 pixels for the Android notification tray. If you are looking for physical keys, you will probably be disappointed, because there most likely aren’t any, in order to bring the display closer to the bottom.

Better camera means better images (What do we know about the V30?)
LG has long been a pioneer in the field of smartphone cameras. The V30 is no exception. According to a recent press release, a dual camera module with the world’s largest aperture and clearest lens ever presented in a smartphone will come into use. LG’s first F1.6 lens delivers 25 percent more light to the sensor compared to a F1.7 lens, which is installed in the Samsung Galaxy S8. The so called Crystal Clear lens also provides greater light collection capability than a plastic lens as well as better color reproduction. This makes the V30 particularly suitable for photography and videography.

LG returns to organic light-emitting diodes 
After two years of OLED abstinence, LG returns to it again. The color-efficient technology covers a larger color space, LG promises 109 percent DCI-P3 and 148 percent sRGB – so that the colors do not override, this requires color management, which is expected this month with Android O at least for new devices.

LG’s panel variant P-OLED (polymer / plastic OLED) is as thin and brighter as AMOLED and should allow flexible displays – the G Flex 2 and 1 could actually be a little bend. But the panel of the V30 is not flexible in operation – because before the LG sits a glass disk of Gorilla glass 5, but in production: LG wants to bend the right and left edge backwards and thus a narrower frame get hold. Overall, the V30 has thus despite the larger display smaller dimensions than the V20.

Conclusion
The data read is impressive, also for Apple prospective customers, since the future iPhone 8 is also rumored to have an OLED display from LG. But for that, Lucky-GoldStar must deliver. Competitor Samsung sells a similar solution already in the Galaxy S8 / S8 +: 5.8 and 6.2 inches respectively, AMOLED with 119 percent DCI-P3, 1440 × 2960 pixels and curved edges; Also the Note 8 is rumored to get such a display with 6.3 inches.
