22 August, 2016
The Korean company itself made this claim before, but now it's confirmed on the day of the official launch of Android 7.0.

Mr. Nobody, 23 Aug 2016Well, if we'll go down to a memory lane and have a little f... moreDoing things first for the sake of it doesn't have value. And half of those things aren't even true. Its not the first with nougat, its the first to offer nougat out of the box, and it wasn't the first with a qhd display.

More importantly, things like that are natural progression, stretching their neck out to do it first doesn't mean they had changed where the market was clearly going anyway.

      Well, if we'll go down to a memory lane and have a little flashback. Its safe to say that LG always wanted to be the first in technology on mobile division for example. They introduced the first ever dual core smartphone at Optimus 2X, first 3D screen with Optimus 3D, G3 with the introduction of QuadHD panel so others adopted it as well as samsung. G4 with the introduction of manual control on camera photography. First modular design with G5, and the V10 first smartphone having a DAC support audio, dual front face camera, first video recording with manual control. And now first ever phone to have Android Nougat 7.0? So if LG keeps on innovating, we cant guess whats in store for us with V20 and other upcoming LG smartphones.

      * Just dont forget to upsize the battery as well to ahm maybe 3,500 to 4,000 mah. That would be great. :-)

                Can LG comes out a flagship phone that has stylus like Samsung S Pen, and of course must retain its removable battery, microSD, SD SoC, improve its File Manager features?

                    Change to a oled panel paired with the 3000mah battery if you plan to leave the same mah capacity therefor battery life should be much better. Those lcd screens are power hungry especialy at maximum brightness.

                            LG is better when it comes to deliver latest android versions unlike Samsung which unfortunately fails in this segment

                                OK, LG, chance for you to get some of my trust back. Allow all variants to be unlocked, release necessary sources, provide updates for at least 2 years, and price this V20 thing of yours properly, and we may talk again.

                                Sincere regards,
                                LG's 2013 flagship users.

                                    There's nothing particularly substantial in nougat, and half of the things nougat brings are going to he given through the play store. Its not like lollipop and material design and art, and its not like marshmallow which brought doze and stuff. Note sure why I should be excited for it.

                                        Props for LG for getting Nougat working so quick, but what good is it when it's saddled with their terrible skin and will get delayed security updates?
