LG V30: P-OLED screen and the truth about its 3D Touch

  • The LG V30 does not integrate full pressure detection; it opts for advanced haptics with Immersion.
  • 6" QHD+ FullVision P-OLED display, with curved edges and a floating bar instead of a second screen.
  • Enhanced touch experience with synchronized vibrations in camera, settings and navigation.
  • Launch in the Berlin area and high-end positioning alongside Note 8 and iPhone.

LG V30 3D Touch Screen

We already mentioned that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 might have a 3D Touch screenJust like the iPhone. Well, besides the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, it seemed that the LG V30 It would also feature a 3D Touch screen.

LG V30 with 3D Touch screen

Both the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the LG V30 would have a screen capable of differentiating between the different levels of pressure applied to the screen. The iPhone 6s already had a 3D Touch screen. Logically the iPhone 7 too, and it seems that the new Apple phones will continue to have a 3D Touch screen. With the information consolidated after its launchIn the case of the LG V30, what is integrated is not a pressure sensor distributed across the entire panel in the style of Apple's 3D Touch, but an advanced haptic implementation which synchronizes vibrations and animations to offer richer tactile sensations.

This haptic experience is made possible through a collaboration with Immersionwhose TouchSense technology allows for variations intensity, fine localization and duration from the vibrations. Thus, when taking a picture with the camera, a shutter "click" is perceived, and when adjusting controls, it feels like a mechanical dial And when dismissing notifications or moving between desktops, the response vibrates in sync with the animations. It does not require additional gestures nor hidden menus: it is a passive usability improvement, distinct from the strong-pressure quick access that Apple activates from the home screen.

Meanwhile, the LG V30 debuts 6-inch P‑OLED display with FullVision 18:9 format and QHD+ resolution. The "P" indicates a plastic substrate which offers greater strength and flexibility than glass, and the side edges feature a slight curve that maximizes immersion. The V series abandons its classic second screen to bet on one floating bar with quick access and shortcuts, consistent with the haptic approach that enhances navigation.

In reality, the 3D Touch screen isn't very useful, especially considering that since Android 7.0 Nougat, it's been possible to almost simulate a 3D Touch screen on a standard display. However, on the V30, the combination of shortcuts by long press And a richer haptic feedback enhances the feeling of quality and assists in everyday tasks. Analysts like Ice Universe also pointed out that Note 8 did not include Force Touch on full screen, so LG's strategy was to differentiate itself with better touch sensations.

Presentation of the LG V30

The LG V30 already has an official presentation date. It will be on August 31 when the LG V30 will be officially presented. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be presented on August 23. And the logical thing is that both smartphones are on sale already in September. In fact, it seems that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 could be pre-ordered as early as September 1. and that it would be on September 15 when the users who have reserved it would receive it at home. These launch windows They were presented at the Berlin trade fair, a common setting for announcing the second high-end ranges of the year.

Alongside the screen, the V30 opted for a body unibody made of glass and metalrear fingerprint reader with possible facial unlockingand a dual camera with a wide aperture that enhanced its multimedia capabilities. In any case, both the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the LG V30 will be two of the best smartphones on the market. Phones at a similar level to the new iPhone 8. And precisely for that reason, they will have a rather high price tag, as it seems that The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 could come to have a price of 1.000 euros in SpainFor repairs, there are full screen replacements for LG V30 (H930 and variants), commonly available from specialist distributors.

The added value of the LG V30's screen lies in the overall package: P-OLED with curved edgesthe disappearance of the second screen in favor of a cleaner floating bar and a sophisticated haptic feedback which is felt in every touch. For those looking for 3D Touch-type pressure sensations, the V30 doesn't implement force detection across the entire panel, but it offers a very well-achieved touch experience that improves the perception of quality and daily interaction.
