LG V30's UX 6.0+ detailed: Floating Bar, Graphy camera app, face detection and more


LG will unveil its flagship V30 on August 31 at IFA 2017 in Berlin. Ahead of the official unveiling, the company has been revealing key details of the phone (display & camera). And now LG has detailed the software features of V30 including the previously rumored Floating Bar function.

The V30 will make use of the the new and improved UX 6.0+ user interface, that has been optimized to maximize the multimedia capabilities of V30's 6-inch QHD+ 18:9 OLED FullVision display and the advanced dual lens cameras with f/1.6 aperture.

First up, LG is ditching the V20's Second Screen, in favor of Floating Bar. It is semi-transparent bar, and will give users quick access to frequently used functions such as notes, music player and more. It and can be dragged complete off the FullVision display when not needed. 

The Always-on Display gets added customization, and now it not only shows the clock, but also displays Quick Tools, Music Player or a personal photograph.



For the V30's camera mode, users will be able to use a new app called Graphy. The app gives you access to a collection of photos taken by professional photographers, and then apply, the metadata presets from the selected photographs ㅡ such as white balance, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc ㅡ to photos taken from V30, for a professional  looking photo.

In the UX 6.0+ camera interface, different shooting modes such as auto, grid shot, snap shot and match shot will be grouped under one menu, for easliy selecting them. You'll also be able to create GIFs quickly in the Gallery menu and edit videos using the included Quick Video Editor.

UX 6.0+ will also enhance the security features of V30, as it will bring more advanced facial and voice recognition capabilities to unlock the device. Using Face Recognition, V30 can be unlocked instanly using its front facing camera. While the Voice Recogition uses a combination of the user's voice and self-generated keywords to unlock the device. It is supported by Qualcomm Aqstic voice UI technology for always-on, always-listening capabilities that requires very little battery power.

Lastly, thanks to the improved UX, Haptic feed back on the V30 can be customized with various included vibration combination, that can be matched to the phone's ringtone.
