Recently i bought a "new" LG V50 thinq V450VN (Verizon) phone from a US seller on ebay.
The phone seems new (no cracks, dentts etc), display seems also fine.
Also phone has installed Verizon suite of apps and also Verizon logo appers on start up.
When i first activated phone it had preinstalled Android 11, and as soon it was connected to wifi it showed a message to upgrade to Android 12.
Bear in mind that i live in Greece and not in US.
The curious think about it is that device is Made in China, although as i know all LGV50's are supposed to be made in Korea.
Does anyone know what's going on with that one? Is it fake, refurbished or really new one made by LG for Verizon US?
OG LG, 01 Oct 2023Has there been any newer phone that can replace this? Aka under 6,5" with solid audio ... moreNo. Majority of flagship phone still unable to shoot 4k60fps by ultrawide lens in 2023, which, is able in LG phone since V40.

Aka under 6,5" with solid audio & video capture?
I feel like I'm losing a killer content-capable phone, in order to buy a phablet with an under-utilized chipset. I don't care to stream content, i want to create!!
Planning to buy this one. Currently the version available right now on the market is a us version, and I wanna know if that version is good, if not what version is a good one to buy?
Should say upgradable to android 12 as I got the v50 with android 12

Got this phone on last weekend 🎉
I like LG since G4 H818P, thought screen will be cool, but OLED is a real trash 🙄
Even realme 6 pro transmits an image much better 👀
In other respects, the phone is great 👌
Adzz, 08 Jul 2023Will you give the link of lg v50 thinq telegram groupI don't think the link can be posted here.
Go to Telegram and search for:
"LG V50 - G8 Thinq - G8s ThinQ" group and join that.
switched Verizon to t-Mobile and this might be a brick. Tmo says this model doesn't support all their 'low band' 4g and 5g which is to blame. i blame network congestion.
located in Miami where Vzw also had congestion issues, but not like this... anyone have v50 on Tmobile in US ?

My V50 just recently died no warning just froze for a few seconds and turned off never to wake I've taken it everywhere to try to fix it but nothing so far. It's such a shame because I've had it for a year and really loved it I really want to get another one but I am scared since I've seen it's a common issue thinking of getting an s10e like I initially wanted before going for the v50 but having gotten used to the best haptics ever it will be a compromise I'm not happy with
There is no 60 fps recording for front facing camera... Please correct that. And also it is upgradable to android 12.

azy, 04 Mar 2023It got a security update on november too. I dont think it will get more. Yeah I think so too. Also with a few weeks now I've noticed that sometimes the phone got throttling issue and overheating. Which is better android 10 or 11?
