LG V20 hands-on: First impressions

06 September 2016
Today LG unveiled the highly anticipated LG V20, a successor of the rugged and powerful V10 phablet. The new V20 focuses on keeping what made the V10 so cool - the secondary display, toughness, great audio specs and impressive camera capabilities, but continues to improve the looks, the chipset, the camera experience, and the battery life.

    Samsung to focus on quality rather than on varieties and quantity.Between two stools one looses ground.Flagship phones to look and feel different from the other lots.

      How many people agree the V20 back cover looks like a monkey face?

For a company whose sales are tanking and fast, it sure has some weird marketing strategy! Beggars cannot be choosers, isn't that how it goes? I would have thought it would make sense for a company like LG to go for maximum exposure.....! If released here, I'll pony up for it but certainly not gonna pony up for an European model......Duh

                      I wanted G5 to be like this and the only reason why I won't be getting this phone is the 5.7inch footprint.

                            What you wrote, "is the B & O Play-tuned. Even better"

                            Are other manufacturers will not give better quality?

                              Why not buy your BOSS ?
