LG V20 review: Twice as bright

23 September 2016
If the LG V20 was a superhero - and we're not convinced that it's not - its superpower would be to have two of everything (or more!). Two screens, two cameras... twice!, four DACs, two apps on the screen, the list goes on and on.

You s... moreI do not deny the note 7 not being a good phone...it was, however the entire issue broke quire a lot of people's trust in Samsung. Their stock also shows this. All this at the worst of times...when the Pixels released, and the V20, giving alternatives.

    These facets do not change the quality of this phone, it stands tall among the flagships with features that the others don't have (second display, removable battery, dual mode selfie cam, etc)...just because you and some others have blinders on, does not mean the phone shouldn't get a fair chance. I was am avid Samsung user up until the S6, that phone broke my trust for quality devices form them...they apologized with the S7s which are great, but I found great alternatives...and lost my bias.

      Anonymous, 29 Nov 2016Your comments show your bias. You seem too focused on LG... moreStill, I salute Samsung for their move on that issue. You said that they could cause damage because they explode or something internal heats up and there you go, boom! But why do you think a LOT of NOTE 7 users are still out there, not returning their phone? what do you think their reason why they hold on a phone that might explode anytime? its because they have their loyalty towards Samsung. there is trust present here and they believe that this phone is the ultimate phone that could satisfy their needs. What about LG? after that bootloop issue, sure they addressed in your area, but here, they're the worst. they couldnt offer the repair for free. they had to investigate even the slightest of events well in fact its their own device that went haywire and this is not related to any users. Well, you are entitled to your opinion and so am I but the market says everything. Samsung dominates. Even Huawei beat LG straight in two years. I have also a Huawei P9 and its beter than that crappy G5, at least more on the battery side. LG sucks!

        You seem too focused on LG...they did take care of the G4's issue, they made it warranty replaceable, yes a little late, however the percentage affected wasn't high enough until then.

        What about Samsung here...the Note 7 debacle? They started by not acknowledging it...then tried to say it would be fixed with a firmware update that limited the battery to 60%...then, after it started being banned and lawsuits began flying everywhere, finally did a limited warranty replacement...then finally after being called by federal governments...did a full warranty replacement...then the replacements STILL caught fire...to finally discontinuing the phone...then they released the firmware update afterwards, limiting all remaining devices to 60% battery and no continued support. This was an issue that could've killed people...destroyed property...caused injuries...etc...the bootloop simply bricked your phone. Man, talk about stress!

              Im sure of this, after months of usage, it will slow as hell and the battery will discharge a lot faster than usual and you will be frustrated and will buy another phone. What didi you get? STRESS. LG stresses its customers. instead of focusing in the future, they tend to be blinded by the present trends in their product, thus losing their focus on what might come next. take for an example, LG G4 bootloop issue. they never fixed it because they got fixated with the success and never expected the issue. they never fixed it here. such a waste of money and experience. #NoToLG

                      hardware failure guaranteed 6-12 months from now resulting in boot-loops. $750 down the drain. apart from that and poor batteries very nice phone.

                              I have a very big question mark in my mind:
                              -How this phone is declared as an audiophile phone with so high THD & IMD+Noise figures? They are way too high to be accepted as an audiophile source to be connected to a decent amplifier.
                              I have a strong hesitation to upgrade. Even G5 figures (without B&O module) are much better.

                                  Iphone 7 plus dual camera doesn't take super wide like LG does, it only for 2x optical zoom not 135 degree wide like G5 or V20
