I had it for years, it take a lot of time to charge the battery, it cannot act as a power bank.

I always been a long time fan of the LG V series phones, Initially when I heard about the V30, I was somewhat nervous since the phone lost the I.R. Blaster, secondary display, and the removable battery, features that are very rare in the smartphone market, and what really helped the V20 stand out among its competitors. I decided to throw caution to the wind, and give the phone a chance, and I am so very pleased I did. This phone is amazing, the first thing I noticed was the weight its probably the lightest phone I've ever used its amazing that the build quality is excellent and still manages to provide a very large screen. The phone is an 18:9 aspect ratio, and sporting a 6 inch P-OLED so the colors of the phones really do pop. I loved how the phone now as an always on display, and the battery life on the phone is excellent paired with the snapdragon 835 chip inside. LG really did an incredible job with the design, I can see the evolution from the V10 and V20, and each phone has gotten better and better with each iteration. While I do miss the ability to swap out batteries, the IP68 Dust and Water resistance is a welcomed edition. The V30's performance is snappy, handling everything I could throw at it and apps and games run super smooth and I haven't notice a single stutter or lag or my hand set. One of the killer features that I like is the headphone jack. The headphone jack is equipped with a Quad D.A.C. makes listen to music, watching movies, voice and videos calls amazing and very immersive. I do miss the secondary display, but the implementation of the Floating bar is a nice way to have the same features, and still allow a full display for the phone. I used many phones over the years, but I still find myself coming back to LG. I truly love this device and the only con that I can see is the IR blaster. I really with that the IR blaster was still intact, it may seem novel to some, but I know many people that miss having the feature. Another area that I enjoy is the camera, LG makes the best camera's sporting a dual setup on the back, nobody in the current smartphone market is utilizing a wide angle lens there is simply no one who does it better. I would say that one area the phone is lacking in is the front facing camera. The picture for selfies is probably the weakest feature on the phone, and the quality from what I've seen is sub par compared to other phones i've tried this year. I do think that the price of the V30 is justified given all the bevy of features but it would have been nice if the phone was a little bit cheaper to compete with the other phones on the market. Overall, I do think I can think of any phone that really offers the rich feature set that the LG V30 has, it has a great build, its fast, it's well designed, and a boat load of features other companies just don't offer.
