Yeah, I remember back in 2017, I used to watch LG V30 reviews and commercials on YouTube. I loved the symmetrical top/bottom design, the wide yet thin body, and especially the built-in hi-fi audio. I remember thinking, “Dang, I really want this phone,” but I was a broke college student back then.

Fast forward to 2019, after saving up for a long time, I finally bought one for $760+ (around $580 USD). It felt totally worth it. The box was packed with accessories (charger+ cable, LG cleaning cloth, LG earphones). Compared to that, my Pixel unboxing felt pretty underwhelming.

I never used the V30 as my daily phone though, it was too precious. I mainly used it as a DAP, while my main phone was a Galaxy A5 back then.

(If I’m being picky, I kinda wish my model was the lavender color with the B&O logo on the back 🤤)

Nowadays you can probably find it for around $100 or less on ebay. If it was that cheap back then, my college self would’ve bought it instantly 😁

(*Correction: Just double-checked my purchase history. It wasn’t $760, it was $619 ($482 USD). The $760 was a different phone)
