About the V40 ThinQ

The LG V40 ThinQ, released in 2018, was a flagship device known for its innovative camera system and premium audio capabilities. It introduced a unique five-camera setup, featuring three rear cameras (standard, ultrawide, and telephoto) and two front cameras (standard and wide-angle), offering versatile shooting options. Its P-OLED display provided vibrant visuals, while the Snapdragon 845 chipset ensured smooth performance. Beyond its visual prowess, the V40 ThinQ stood out for its audio experience, incorporating a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC and a Boombox Speaker that amplified sound by using the phone's internal resonance chamber. This made it a compelling choice for audiophiles and multimedia enthusiasts. The device also boasted a durable build with Gorilla Glass 5 and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, making it a robust and feature-rich smartphone for its time.

Common V40 ThinQ issues we check at inspection

  • Screen burn-in on P-OLED display. Ghost images from status bar icons, navigation gestures, or persistent UI elements visible on the P-OLED panel due to its nature.
  • Battery degradation. The 3300mAh battery often shows significant wear after 2-3 years, leading to reduced screen-on time and frequent charging needs.
  • Cracked rear glass. The Gorilla Glass 5 back is prone to cracking from drops, especially if the phone is placed on hard surfaces.
  • Water damage indicators tripped. Despite IP68 rating, internal water damage indicators may have tripped due to submersion, leading to corrosion or component failure.
  • Camera module issues. Problems with autofocus, image stabilization, or specific lenses (wide, telephoto) can occur due to internal component wear or minor impacts.
  • USB-C port issues. The USB-C port can become loose, damaged, or clogged with debris, affecting charging and data transfer capabilities.
