LG G Pad 10.1 Manual / User Guide
If you’re not a portable audio obsessive, don’t worry about this too much. If you own high-end headphones or earphones, however, note that there is a perceptible difference in sound quality, which you can test by switching the Quad DAC on and off. Bass sounds slightly tighter and the mids slightly better-resolved. The LG V40 ThinQ also offers several sound modes that tweak the response slightly, and a DTS:X 3D sound mode – if you want to mangle sound. DTS:X may work well for movies, but I don’t recommend it for music. The LG V40 ThinQ also has the Boombox speaker LG introduced in the LG G7 ThinQ. It uses the backplate as a resonator, to make the sound much louder and beefier when you place the V40 on a solid surface – on a desk, for example.
The effect seems much less pronounced than it is in the G7 ThinQ, and the V40 ThinQ doesn’t have bass as good as the Note 9 or iPhone XS Max when you hold the phone up. Nevertheless, it’s a neat feature. Your storage needs are served by the inclusion of 128GB, which should be sufficient for a pretty huge library of locally stored music and movies. LG V40 ThinQ – Screen Unlike the LG G7 ThinQ, the LG V40 ThinQ sports an OLED panel. Such screens are common amongst expensive phones, but this one is a little different. iPhones, the Pixel 3 and the OnePlus 6T all use Samsung AMOLED panels, which are renowned for their quality and energy efficiency.

The LG V40 ThinQ features one of LG’s own pOLED screens. LG may be a prime manufacturer of the OLED panels for today’s top TVs, but it comes a distant second place in the world of OLED phones. As recent as 2017, LG’s OLEDs suffered issues with blue tinting when viewed from an angle – but the LG V40 ThinQ’s panel is pretty good.
Off-axis viewing is still marginally inferior to top Samsung panels, but whites look clean, sharpness is impeccable, and you’re presented with a choice of colour modes. If anything, there’s too much choice. High-end devices tend to offer somewhere between two and five presets, each with a different colour profile. The LG V40 ThinQ has seven, including a customisable “Expert” mode. Colour calibration isn’t quite up to that of the Galaxy Note 9 or iPhone XS Max, with one too many modes looking oversaturated.

However, this screen is vibrant and punchy, plus contrast is perfect. The LG V40 ThinQ supports HDR, and there’s a mode that enhances standard content too. Netflix HDR support is already locked down as well, and there’s a handy always-on display mode that lets you use the LG V40 ThinQ as a desk clock. As in the G7 ThinQ, LG has some fun with the notch. Rather than simply offering the standard notched view or one where the indent is hidden in a black bar, Second Screen lets you fill it with gradients. Whether the four extra options will look any good depends on the colours of your homescreen background, but it’s an inoffensive extra that, like the Quad DAC, makes the V40 ThinQ stand out. LG V40 ThinQ – Software The LG V40 ThinQ currently runs Android 8.1.0 and the custom LG interface.
A 9.0 update may be coming, so you’ll have to wait for the “app timer” features this next version brings. These let you limit time spent in particular apps – handy if your relationship with Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or YouTube is a bit too close. I’m also not a huge fan of the LG interface. The days of outright bad custom Android UIs from the major manufacturers are long gone, but LG’s route of progress has diverted from Android’s own. You have to reinstate the apps menu, for example, and the app drawer is paginated rather than a vertical scroll.
Overall, the visual style is a little less coherent than that of the Pixel, Samsung or Huawei devices. There’s plenty of room for disagreement here, though.
