I think it looks really pleasing. I would like to see the black variant in live shots though.

Looks amazing, will surely be my next phone.

Looks amazing....i think they nailed it.
For comparison maybe not quite as sexy as the U11 but way better than the note 8 and that big ugly black camera assembly.
sent from my Note FE, S8 plus (exynos) or S6

Jesus that Moroccan Blue edition looks like pure sex!

I think it's a nice looking device. I hate having to loose some of my favorite features (removable battery, IR blaster...), but at least they maintained the core features I like (Great cameras, superior Quad DAC) and even finally added an OLED display. In exchange for the losses (that I do lament) we good a nice looking device with a larger screen than before, but in a sleeker smaller body.
Overall, I'm happy. I say the handwriting on the wall and knew the V20 would likely be the last flagship with those features.
It also looks like LG might refrain from jumping on the, "lake it a $1000 device" bandwagon like Samsung and Apple are doing. Let hope that $750 MSRP is legit.

Picked up a black V30+ from korea via EBay. Coming from Xiaomi Mi Mix so the bazeless look is sort of underwhelming but much less thin and tall than the S8/+/note 8 which is a plus for me. Love the thin profile and the back looks very nice.
Camera bump really only noticeable to the touch doesn't rock at all when placed on a surface. I gotta say...the black is a prettier black than I've personally seen on any other phone. Does attract fingerprints obviously but not quite as bad as I would've thought.

How Big Are The Side Bezels?

Definitely not small. For whatever reason, I don't mind it too much, even though I'm coming from Xiaomi MI mix and galaxy s6 edge. The 4 bezels on this phone just seem more balanced than the galaxy or note, where the lack of side bezels sort of accentuate the top and bottom bezels (which are already bigger than the V30). I'm probably in the minority on this one though.

Thanks For The Reply

This here is what I'm interested in.
Design is really important to me and though it looks so bland in the pictures, everyone who actually HAS one says the design is decidedly different.
I have the HTC U11 which I think is...meh, the Mate 9 which was excellent and the Xiaomi Mi 6 whose ceramic and blue/gold are fantastic... But it's bezels, horrendous.
I'm really interested in the LG V30 and world love to hear from more owners what the design does for them.

I put a case on mine the day I received it so even though it is a beautiful phone, I really never think about it since it's covered. This is my preference so take it how you want.

Beautiful. Got it in Black, love it. Well... Is in a case now but I loved it when I opened the box

The xiaomi poco phone will make the rich and snobbish iphone x users gasp with envy when they look at the front but breathe a sigh of relief, disputing their greatest fear that you are rich enough to buy an iphone x, if you accidentally show the rear part of the phone.

In contrary it is the display part I’m not a fan of.....Huge chin and wide notch is the only stuff i didn’t like that much in this device

It's horses for courses - personally I put all my phones in plastic cases for protection so I don't give a rat's ass about the back. Don't like notches so I'll be using an app to "square off" the top of the screen. Big chin? Not so far as I can see.
It's gonna look exactly as good in a case as any other phone would.
Very happy with the design

Yeah gonna hide the notch as well !! But square off will not give the curvy edge symmetrical to bottom i hope,there is in built option to hide the notch though,but in apps and games the edges becomes flat,maybe can overcome with a software patch(??)

Notch can be hidden via settings directly , u dont need a special app for that.

Exactly what i said there,But still while using some apps (PUBG as an example) the top portion is not symmetrically curvy as bottom

The curves in the edges are too big and sometimes some system element or a part of some app disappears behind the curve...

does this happen even when the notch is hidden by going into settings?

it does not have the percentage of the battery

Honestly I don't think it's an issue. You just have to slide down to see the battery percentage.

Actually it's better looking than I am, so much so that if I pull it out of my pocket, I fear young people will think "look at this old fat farth, trying to be hip with this iPhoneX looking device.."

5/5, very attractive. May look like the S9 on the front, but turn it around and it gets even sexier.

The new design is really nice, much better then my old XZ or Z3.
Sent from my H8416 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

As far as the design is concerned the devise is great. I really like this phone. And of course the absence of notch adds to the overall look. The back is gorgeous and i do not have any problem with the fp sensor position.

Hmmm...I'd much prefer it if it were XZ1 shaped, I can't see the attraction of the curves and swoops which people seem to getting over-excited about. The sides are too thin to get a proper grip on it. Still stupidly slippy like the idiotic XZ2, possibly the most stupid phone design of the last 5 years. Seriously, what is the point of a sloping off to the side screen? I'm disappointed that Sony have pandered to faddish & supposedly "trendy" designs...sniff...give me back the square blocky XZ1 shape.
Great internals and screen though.

So true. I upgraded from an XZ. It's really hard to get used to this phone. The slippy thin design, really big dimensions, how the volume button is above the power switch and not below, the loss of the beautiful, big, prominent and fingerprint-readable power switch from the XZ. The move of the logo from the top to the bottom. And last but not least, the curved edges that display awful "out of view-angle" noise (what's the reason then?).
I get why Sony kept and preserved their excellent design for so long, sadly the mainstream never did. It looked so professional and tool-sy. Functionally designed, making its aesthetics fully justified. It had an identity superior to any other brand. The new design is too far from the old. I still have hope in a renaissance in the future, Sony paying tribute to what made their phones be noticed. I've watched many reviews before buying the XZ3. And I agree to the awesome display, state of the art hardware and an absolute premium feeling. But that the design has improved I strongly disagree with.

One plus 7 pro seems much better deal than the s10 plus ( even I'm using s10 plus )

Wow, it's like you know me, have you stolen my mirror? Wait...no..

I received the case before the phone. My 7 Pro case fits my OP6 almost perfectly so when people say, "it's huge!". not really.

Has anyone taken the risk of going raw dog with that bad boy? The back of the nubia color I have is dangerously slippery. That coupled with the fact that the phone can be a bit unwieldy for some certainly constitutes a recipe for disaster!

No case here. Love the nebula blue color it would be a shame to put one on it. It is a bit slippery, but when you keep that in the back of your mind it is ok to handle with one hand even

Such a beautiful phone. Makes any phone with a notch look silly.
Have unfortunately dropped mine a couple times already though and some of the blue finish on the corners has given way to bare metal

best looking and feeling phone I have held to date. Bar none.

I took it out of the case,dropt it on the carpet 30 seconds later ).
I'm going to keep it in the case until i get used to its size.
I hate keeping my phones in cases tough.

I want other emojis

I don't have any major complaints with the look of the device. I would personally prefer the rear cameras be completely flush with the backing but that isn't a deal-breaker. A slightly thicker profile might actually give them a little more room to do that, increase the battery size, and make the device slightly easier to grip on the sides without a case. I would really like an emerald or jade green color option.

Just using a phantomskinz ultra clear back skin. I know one good drop and it's toast, but it's just so Damn Pretty.

Yes, it actually wraps around the side of the phone and adds more grip to the sides, but the sides of the phone are thin. so there still isn't much surface area to grab. so you still need to be careful. I find that where I would have grabbed the phone by it sides, I'm handling it more with the front and back of the phone.

Not a fan at all of the curved screen, warps screen and words are harder to read when close to the edges.

Yeah, the curved screen isn't my favorite part of the phone. Surprisingly, it hasn't bothered me too much so far. At least it's better than the Galaxy S7 edge I used to own.

Really a nice device. Especially in blue! However, I find that the edges are slightly too rounded.

One has to absolutely LOVE the full view screen. An actually full-screen phone, at last. I've heard people complain that the back cover is glass and that it could have been plastic. Well, then they'd complain that it's mere plastic and doesn't feel premium. I Love the looks.

I totally agree about the full screen. I don't like the looks of the punch hole cameras. I'm sad that OnePlus has abandoned the pop up camera for the 8 pro. I may not upgrade until under screen cameras are finally a thing.

Yea that's true... I'm happy with my OnePlus 7 Pro right now and I honestly like this design with the pop-up camera better than the new OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro designs

Devices actually looks pretty nice. The camera layout doesn't bother me (used to it from my iPhone 11 Pro).

Looks good. Feels good. I mean every other phone had a somewhat protruding camera or whatever. now, its just bigger. whatevs. The unevenness of the top and bottom doesn't bother me. Dont look at it often.

Received my black XL today. Making the back glossy is an insane decision. It gets fingerprints just from looking at it! Thankfully a case resolves any issues.

I have already had compliments on my "gorgeous case". The reactions I get when I say it is a clear case and that is the how my phone looks are priceless. Oh So Orange was totally worth it.

My Pixel 4XL in Clearly White just arrived & my first thought is ? Design and feel is definitely an improvement to me. Love the size, weight and the back material feels awesome. Somehow I thought the camera bump would be bigger but it looks relatively small in comparison to the phone size and actually looks very nice.

I've had my phone for a few days now and I'm late lol. I was talking smack until I got my phone in white. Its so clean and classy. I think they hit a home run. Ehh lets leave the black version out of it.

I think the reason Google put that gloss finish on the black, was to contrast with the matte frame. So, it would've been a concession either way. Whether they ditched the black altogether (which would probably cause a riot) or they make the back glossy. At least that's how I rationalize it. I can't see Google doing something like that, arbitrarily. Seems like they out a lot of thought into this years design.

mediocre at best sadly oppo does it better.

I ditched the black. Should have put matte finish on there. Got the white which I don't like and slapped a matte black slim case on it [emoji23][emoji23]

Coming from the OnePlus 7 Pro, I got the Pixel 4 XL black version around two weeks ago.
I absolute love the look and feel of the device. I'm rocking it caseless and so far no important scratches on the back.
My only concern with this phone design is the thermal disipation, well, the lack of it. It gets very warm.
