No longer my main phone because it's no longer safe for online transactions (credit card, banking). But I sure miss the master remote (IR blasterl), the outstanding audio quality, the excellent camera with superb manual controls and the video out capability using USB C to hdmi adapter. Currently using a Samsung A71 now which is a great V20 replacement although lacking the IR blaster, the manual camera cobtrols, and video out capability. The removable battery, I don't miss as much because the A71 lasts more than twice longer than two 3200mAh LG V20 removable batteries and because the A71 charges superfast, feom 0%-100% in just 1.3hrs.

Anonymous, 16 Mar 2020Not sure how you recommend Samsung as an alternative to LG.... moreEven if Samsung's midrange offerings don't offer the level of update speed and frequency as Android one or Pixel phones, I can't think of a phone worse in updates than LG. LG is down there, lower than the absolute lowest. It's beyond zero level really. It's horrendous, non-existent software update support even with regard to expensive flagship phones like my V20 (-ESA-xx) is WORSE than in my $150, entry level Xiaomi Redmi 4x phones. Samsung's upper midrange phones get Android version updates and security updates even if not the fastest, is up near the top.

Anonymous, 10 Mar 2020Does it hold a day? I'm using the 6.400 mAh PERFINE since two years and two months. At May, the third anniversary of my trusty V20 maybe change it by one new PERFINE with the same mAh.

It's good quality sound, though certainly not better than the V20. With the proper equalizer settings, the quality difference doesn't matter as much especially when you consider that it costs around half the V20's launching price.

Rimac , 28 Feb 2020The V20 can have an acceptable continuity with the new V60,... moreI won't be wasting my money on another LG phone, LG V60 included. Zero software updates for international variants even in a flagship model like in the case of my H990DS LG V20 (ESA-xx variant), is enough experience for me to demonstrate LG Mobile's horrendous aftersales support.
As I've mentioned before, the V20 is my first and last LG phone. Will hold on to it for as long as it is alive but it won't be my main phone anymore due to lack of security updates/android software updates which are critical for banking and credit card transactions (credit card fraud /online hacking of personal info).
Those looking for a reasonably priced successor to the dual sim H990DS V20 with triple slot (two sim slots + dedicated micro sd slot) are better served by Asus Zenfone 6 (most expensive option), or the Samsung M30s (least expensive option).
Personally though, my recommendation would be the upper midrange Samsung Galaxy A71 (mid priced). In fact, I already purchased one and love it. It's got Android 10 with January 2020 security patch out of the box. The Samsung A71 has a great PRICE:PERFORMANCE ratio and the closest in feature set to the V20. It's got all the V20 has and more except for the IR blaster. Just buy a type C IR blaster accessory to equip the A71 with remote control functionality. The Samsung A71 has 128GB ROM, 8GB RAM, dual sim slots with dedicated micro sd card slot, (3 slots in all), a reasonably fast and power efficient snapdragon 730G processor, a headphone jack, FM radio, 4500mAh sealed battery that charges superfast and lasts more than a day even with heavy use, a 6.7" amoled display and under display fingerprint reader as well as Widevine L1 support and LTE only option + LTE band selection capability. The camera is great too as is the audio and 4K video having a triple camera setup. You can install/sideload ported GCam with night sight too for better low light photos.

The V20 can have an acceptable continuity with the new V60, despite without removable battery and lack of FM radio and IR., imo.
