Display
G30 features a 6.5-inch LCD display along with a 720 X 1600 resolution. However, comparing to other phones at this range, you will find it as low resolution. You will find the difference while enjoying movies or playing games.

Cameras
Although G30 is not photographic-centric, it offers a 64MP f/1.7 main camera along with, 2MP f/2.4 macro, 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide, and 2MP f/2.4 depth-sensing. Furthermore, you can take selfies with a 13MP f/2.2 front-facer secondary camera.
However, the selfie camera is a little lower resolution and perhaps a little pale compared to the competitors. Though the selfie camera features portrait mode, the background blurring is not actually accurate.
Nevertheless, the quality of the main camera is overwhelming. The pictures are nicely detailed with strong contrast that results in a dramatic-looking shot. Moreover, the 2MP macro and depth lenses boost the photography capabilities.
The digital zooming feature offers 8x zoom and thanks to the high-resolution camera for that. You can also do the video recording at 1080p and 30fps or 60fps. Sadly, you cannot record 4K, but will certainly get the 1080p quality.
