LG was the pioneer in ultra wide angle phone photography, but others didn't seem to think it mattered. Well, they're coming to their senses, some (Huawei) quicker than others (Samsung, maybe?). Meanwhile, LG has been guilty of not having a telephoto lens and now that's been fixed too. We don't doubt that eventually, every high-end phone will have all the cameras, but we're still in the realm of firsts.
With so many of them happening recently, we almost got carried away - the V 40 Thin Q is, in fact, the first phone to come with 5 cameras (in addition to the three on the back, there are two more on the front) - hence the Penta Camera moniker. And they are, in fact, 5 distinct standalone cameras - we're looking at you and your 'depth-sensing camera', Galaxy A 9.
Cameras to the side, the 6.4-inch V 40 is the largest-diagonal V-series LG phone, for those keeping records. The must-haves that no longer make headlines include the Snapdragon 845 chip set, 6 gigs of RAM and 64 GB/128 GB of storage which 1. is expandable and 2. opens the possibility for a top-spec V 40 S+ (or something) version with, say, 256 GB.
We'd have liked to see some more battery inside the V 40, and we wouldn't be ourselves if we didn't complain about the dated OS version at launch - Oreo is no Pie, to state the obvious. Also, we're not saying it's that big a deal, but LG could have just kept it simple and spared us the 'Thin Q' part of the model name.
