Comparison review
The LG V30 is a little bit better than the LG V20, having a 79.1 score against 77. The LG V30 body is newer, just a bit thinner and a little bit lighter than the LG V20. LG V30 counts with a little more vivid screen than LG V20, because it has a quite better resolution of 1440 x 2880px, a little bit higher screen pixel density and a quite bigger screen.
LG V30 counts with a bit better CPU than LG V20, and although they both have 4 GB of RAM memory, the LG V30 also has a higher number of cores (and also faster). The LG V30 shoots a little bit better photos and videos than LG V20, because although it has a smaller camera sensor providing a worse image quality, and they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate, a back facing camera with a 16 mega-pixels and the same 3840x2160 video quality, the LG V30 also counts with a bigger diafragm aperture to take better low light images and videos.
The LG V20's memory capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos is very similar to LG V30's one, both have equal internal storage capacity and a slot for an external memory card that supports a maximum of 1,95 TB. The LG V30 has a little better battery life than LG V20, because it has 3300mAh of battery capacity instead of 3200mAh.
Although LG V30 is a better device, it costs a lot more than the LG V20, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as LG V20. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can buy LG V20, letting go a couple features, but you'll get the most with your savings.
