There’s no denying the fact that LG is working on the successor to the LG V20, the LG V30, which would feature the same High Vision 18:9 wide display as the LG G6. The South Korean smartphone giant usually releases a new ‘V’ series smartphone just after the conclusion of IFA event in September. But this year, LG is rumoured to announce the V30 at the IFA 2017 event itself.

A report from Korean media says that LG will hold a keynote event on August 31 to announce the product and will showcase it at the mega event in Berlin. The LG V30 will boast of top-end hardware, and the report also revealed the price, pre-order dates, and a purported image as well.
The report further claims that “LG Electronics has enough confidence that V30 has enough value as a strategic Smartphone that can go after global markets.” That said, LG might be looking to make a streamline product announcement at the global events. For the uninitiated, LG releases a new ‘G’ series smartphone at the Mobile World Congress event every year, and from now, it’s looking to announce the V series of phones at the IFA event every year.
It’s also said that the LG V30 will be up for pre-order in South Korea right after the official launch. It would be the first time an LG V series phone is going for pre-order. LG did not conduct any pre-order program for the LG V10 and LG V20. The pre-order program might run for a week or two via three South Korean mobile network provider after the Unpacked event.
The LG V30 is speculated to carry a price tag of 800,000 KRW ($699.98) for the 64GB variant. Having said that, the V30 might be the first LG smartphone to sport an OLED panel and bezel-less design.
