LG W30 Review | NDTV Gadgets360.com

LG has been investing a lot in the marketing and promotion of its smartphones, among other products, but it’s still struggling to find its footing among competitors.

The power and volume buttons don’t have a lot of travel, so they don’t wobble around when you go to press them. The LG W30 feels well put-together and the plastics used seem to be of high quality.
