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

LG
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 whose 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.
Samsung and LG are staunch rivals, both from South Korea. But Samsung, the world's-largest smartphone maker has 22.3 percent global market share and shipped 79.1 million devices in the second quarter, according to CCS Insight data. While LG has captured just 3.7 percent of the market, shipping 13.3 million units. LG has struggled to match the marketing might of the likes of Huawei, Apple and Samsung who together have nearly 50 percent of global market share, according to IDC.
