LG's V30 launched as it looks to challenge the Samsung Galaxy Note 8

                         LG Electronics launched a phone with a huge 6-inch screen as the South Korean firm tries to take users away from Samsung's Note series of devices.
The LG V30 is the company's "phablet" device as it looks to take advantage of the trend towards bigger screens.
Key specs include:

• A dual rear camera with 16 megapixel and 13 megapixel sensors
• 6-inch OLED display that supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) content. This is content with boosted contrast
• Fingerprint sensor, face scanning technology, and voice recognition to unlock the phone
• Water and dust resistant
• Runs Google's Android and has the company's voice assistant known as Google Assistant

Consumers are moving towards bigger screens and most major smartphone manufacturers are attempting to capitalize on the trend. But users are also doing more with their devices from watching movies and TV to working.
                       The LG V30 is aimed at users who want a mixture of productivity and entertainment, similar to Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 which was released last week.

 LG V30 certainly ticks all the boxes when it comes to specs and the company has clearly listened to consumers in an effort to understand what they want," Ben Wood, chief of research at CCS Insight, told CNBC in an interview.
