LG V30 has long since been leaked and the smartphone was expected to arrive sometime in late August or September. LG has finally confirmed the date of the launch and invites for the LG V30 have started rolling out. The smartphone will be announced on August 31, in Germany. Considering IFA 2017 is set to kick off in Berlin on September 1, the smartphone could be one of the early IFA launches. The invites for the smartphone do not reveal any details except that the announcement will be regarding the next LG V series smartphone.
The invite shows a cut-out of an all-black smartphone. The invite just shows a large ‘V’ right on the display which hints at the smartphone being the next V series device – the LG V30. Nothing else apart from the date and the time of launch is mentioned. The phone will be announced at 9.00AM CEST (12.30PM in India). Interestingly, the invite shows the cutout of the smartphone without any bezels on the sides, hinting that LG V30 might come with no side bezels. Also, the text is stretched right to the bottom of the screen, with hardly any gap and shows that the smartphone might further slim down the top and the bottom bezels too.
Further, the invite comes with a 2880 x 1440 pixel resolution, hinting at the display quality as well as confirming that LG V30 will keep up the LG G6 trend and come with the 2:1 aspect ratio. The display is likely to be further stretched and be as big as a 6-inch phablet. Multiple renders and leaks have often suggested that LG will follow the Samsung ‘Infinity Display’ trend and feature a larger AMOLED display with an edge-to-edge screen. And looks like the GG invite has just about confirmed the news. The leaks have slowed the top bezel to house only the earpiece grille, with the front selfie camera, as well as the sensors, being a part of the display.

Interestingly, another thing that the invite hints at is the lack of a secondary display. LG V series smartphones have traditionally come with a small secondary display on top, which made reading notifications and keeping track of quick settings easier. The display was extremely functional and helped set the series apart from the rest. But looks like LG has finally caved into market trends and will focus more on a single large display than continuing the dual display trend. Once again, the invite confirms what leaks have long been suggesting.
Leaked renders have shown a glass back with a dual rear camera setting for the LG V30. The fingerprint scanner also rests on the back of the device. However, there has been only the one render seen so far and it might be wise to take it with a pinch of salt. The render also showed pretty thick edges and no curved display. Though LG is expected to come with a dual rear camera and fingerprint scanner, the actual design might vary from that shown in renders. In other specifications, the smartphone is most likely to feature Snapdragon 835 SoC and 64GB internal storage.

LG has traditionally used a removable battery for its smartphones, but that changed with LG G6. It is unknown if the LG V30 will meet with the same fate and along with no secondary display, the device will also sport no removable battery. With the launch date now nearing, more and more leaks are soon expected. But with a little over a month and a half to go for the official announcement, it might be wise to just await the actual launch on August 31.
