V30 Setup

If buying the LG V30 directly from your wireless carrier, they will assist with activating the phone and transferring contacts and other saved information from an old phone. If setting up the phone straight out of the box, users will want to first ensure that the phone's SIM card is inserted correctly. After verifying the presence of the SIM card, choose the language you want the phone to display.

After choosing the phone's language, the phone setup wizard will prompt you to select optional accessibility options and select a mobile network. After selecting a mobile network, select a wifi network to connect to, if desired. Next the setup wizard will prompt you to either choose to copy your data from an old phone, or to set up the phone as a new device. Make your selection and follow the on-screen prompts that result. Next, follow the prompts that give you the option to set up Google Assistant, or tap No Thanks if not interested. Tap the button that indicates that you agree to the legal documents and disclosures, and tap Done. Read the information from your chosen carrier that appears on the screen, and tap either Accept or Decline. Follow any additional prompts to set up your home screen and recommended apps.

Notable Features

Features of the LG V30 phone include dual cameras, facial recognition, a blue light filter, and an always-on display. Improving on the strong cameras of the LG V10 and V20, the V30 has improved the apertures of both the forward and rear-facing cameras. This allows more light to enter the lens, resulting in better, crisper shots. The phone also includes a new camera feature called Point and Zoom. While taking a photo, tap a part of the screen and select how much you would like to zoom in on that area using only the wide-angle lens, before switching to the standard lens and using the digital zoom feature. This allows for sharper images when using the zoom tool.

Those who wish to increase the security of the feature can choose to go through a lengthier setup process to make the feature more exact and secure. Phone users can opt to use either the facial recognition feature or the security pin feature to unlock the V30.
