I order mine today, excited!

97.5 out or 100. Great tablet. Have the 3GB RAM wifi version. Snappy. I like the responsive laminated screen a lot. Wouldn't mind a few things tweaked with Miui 9 like notifications and LDAC isnt working for me. But otherwise it is a great buy for the price. Hope it gets miui 10 soon and that fixes the tiny things. Build quality is high. Speakers sound nice. I'm on official stable Miui build. Great aspect ratio for browsing, physically holding it, and watching videos.

Do note despite the 8" screen this is very very close to the beloved Nexus 7 (2013) -- 0.2mm higher and 6.3mm wider but a bit thinner 7.9mm vs 8.7 mm which results in the overall volume being 4% lower. Yet, the battery is an unusually big 6000 mAh vs the old 3950 mAh -- there's barely anything else in there but battery. (Same screen resolution too.)

Purchased it to replace my deceased Nexus 7 2013. Overall I like it, screen is significantly bigger and bezels way thinner. For me personally the biggest downside is speakers location. They sound much nicer when they are on the opposite side in landscape mode like in Nexus. Also I don't like its grip, it is heavier and more slippery than my previous, tends to slide out when you hold it in one hand. Yes, TPU case makes this up, but it also adds thickness. Face recognition is almost useless. So overall 4 of 5, good bang for buck.

Had the same effect on everyone as the HTC One M7, it just is consistently good across the board, and the design is a win for sure.

Is it very noticeable? I saw it immediatelly on first reviews. Although its wider than "sausage style" s8/s8+/note it still rocks the new 18:9 apsect ratio,there those side bessels just have to be there, otherwise it would not have this very proportional look almost like 16:9 phone look, you know what i mean?
Headphone nirvana. I've run my AKG Q701's and my VModa M100's and it is spectacular. There are several adjustments in the DAC settings that play with digital filtering. Subtle changes, great results.
The 701's are ~60 ohms and used to trigger high impedance mode on my V20. The 30 seems to handle this without the fuss of a notification that it is on. These cans are a tough load. They like power. I usually drive them using an outboard dac/amp . The 30 powers them beautifully. Very musical.
The camera is nice, haven't had much time to play during daylight. I ran it with my EVO Shift gimbal. Unfortunately the EVO doesn't support the vast control the 30 offers.
Going to Kauai Hawaii next week....Look for my update
beautiful phone, still have some problem with screen color in lowlight and main camera need improve in lowlight, EIS. All other thing is good.
Fortunately I have no screen banding, performance is on par with my S7 Edge, although still not quite up to part with my Pixel XL. Pixel requires less frequent reboots for performance related issues in my experience.

COuld you describe the screen problem, lets say in image or video ?
Thank you !
I love using my phone. Especially now that the battery life is so great. I get tired of being on my phone before the battery runs out. It's amazing!
Absolutely love it. Best phone I ever had and in my opinion and in 2018 still one of the best phones on the market. Bought it for 450Fr.- (=450$ more or less) this summer. What an amazing deal.
Symmetrical design with small bezels, good screen, good performance, amazing audio quality, VR capable, outstanding battery life. Fingerprint scanner, face unlock, double tap to wake. It's all there, nothing is missing for my needs.
For me personally there are basically no negatives.
Really awesome mobile
Fantastic phone. Oreo on this phone is really well implemented.
3 days on my new phone.
I come from an xperia z3 that had 1hr sot or 70% drain in 5hrs idle so...at the moment it's very hard not to be happy about this purchase
Great phone overall, the main camera is crazy good, long battery life!
Man. MAN. I switched from At&t to Sprint and converted my US998 to a LS998 V30+. Now I have VoWiFi, VoLTE and RCS messaging and fast LTE. What I am trying to say is, get a phone carrier that does your phone justice and you will like your phone more than before. Especially after you root and install Adaway and tweak RAM management. I have no desire to even switch to Pie anymore at least not until my H2OS theme is supported. Gcam shows the power of the camera. I get incredible night photos.
Great hardware and features, but absolutely unacceptable support. LG basically sells you the hardware, but zero support for security patches, even critical ones. I have a US998 that hasn’t received a security patch since March 2018.
This is my last LG product.
I certainly feel like LG has put a damper on this phone with their additions to theyre OS overlay. I switched to this phone from my Moto Z2 force since i needed the band 71 LTE while traveling, and I gotta say, this phone sucks... Nothing but constant hiccups and lags in browsing the web and switching apps.
I cant blame the hardware since my 1.5 years of using the Moto z2 - which has the same hardware - never gave me a reason to hate on it. It was buttery smooth since all the way till the end.
I am disappointed with LG
Yep my main device have a few to pick from a poco f1, Asus Zen phone 3 ultra, LG g6, LG v20 us996 LG v30+128gb
LG v30 is my daly driver.

I like this phone. Switched from a OnePlus 5 and while it is a downgrade in weight, dimensions and camera it's an improvement in screen size, screen scrolling/overall performance feel and speakers. Now when I look at other phones the Razer Phone just feels faster thanks to the 120Hz display.
Best phone I ever had. Even better than my Oppo Find 5.
Too heavy, small screen, and vibration motor is hideous.
1337/5 Stars! I love this phone.
Good hardware let down by really poor software support its a phone and it barely functions reliably in that task
I hate this phone.
very nice hardware. software and ergonomic design can definitely be improved

I've been using the XA2 for about 3 weeks now. I ore ordered it. Overall, this phone has great speed, battery life, a great selfie camera (in good lighting) ?, and the Sony BRAVIA display quality is excellent. True colors, blacks, etc.
However the development is weak 3 weeks in, rear facing 23MP camera is medicore, and performs poorly in dim lighting. The display lacks desired minimum and maximum brightnesses.
The design is nice, interface is easy to use. I like the curved gorilla glass, seems durable and doesn't keep fingerprints as some other phones I've used before.
verdict: it's definitely a nice mid range device for the everyday user.
Only 2 months into new Android phone. So far, so good. not great, but good. No issues
with phone, and Ilike the much bigger 6" screen for my older eyes. It works real well with a wireless Sony headphone (not the noise-cancelling ones, due to hi price but that would have been better) and a Marley Chant Mini-portable speaker. USB-C port is key, though I hate not being able to salvage my old cords. C CORDS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE, SO KEEP THEM CLOSE AND BUY A SPARE, SHORT ONE FOR YOUR PORTABLE BATTERY.
New -C cords means more electro-junk to toss out. Minimalist packaging was nice touch.
I like voice control, but I hate saying "Hey Ggggggoogl". We should be able to customize calling to these personal support devices, like we do for my dog. I would call mine whatever version of Android is running the OS.
Bit overwhelmed by the shear volume of Android apps out there. At first, I figured it would take just few months to sort great apps from crap ones. Here it is, 2 Months in, and I'm about 1/2 done. being retired means not enough incentive to waste personal time staring at screens, when I did that hours upon hours each day for over 40 yrs.
Disappointed: I was excited about this phone initially because I love old school 16:9 displays. I still love my V20. But this phone is soooo sluggish. It takes so long to launch apps, to boot, to type...etc. Battery life was bad. I find that my old low end Moto E4 Plus is faster! Maybe when we get root and an assortment of roms this phone will be usable.
bricked
What can I say: tied to install lineageos according to instructions. Device now bricked, hard. Only reaction to power button pressing is one LED flash. No USB, so no fastboot, no flashing.
Sony customer "support" referred me to "developers", who did not even bother responding. Considering experience with other Sony phones: Never again any Sony device, thanks all the same.

This device rocks, from a offer standpoint at least. From the reviews i though it would be slow, but the UI is very smooth. Only downside for me is the washed out screen. Maybe a room with a different calibration.
Overall it's a nice phone. Really smooth, decent cameras for the price, awesome battery life (it's easy with a 5000mAh battery and a SoC manufactured on the Samsung's 8nm process).
The screen could be amoled tho, not that the PLS TFT screen on this phone is bad, but it isn't great either.
The SoC has a weak GPU, but who plays games on a phone anyways... For a 720p screen I think it's more than enough.
So yeah, if you want a phone with a battery that lasts you days I can only recommend you this.
Just got one yesterday, easy to set up but colour is very disappointing and very washed out and I can’t find a way to alter the colour. despite what various websites show for improving the vividness on Samsung phones this doesn’t seem to have this function. Also I can’t see a way to have the clock permanent displayed as was available on my old A3
This phone is very beauti
