Good news to those on Oreo. I've tried the Google camera port (with Night Sight) for the V20 and it works pretty much like the one on Pixel phones. Unfortunately, the port doesn't work on V20 phones still on Nougat (for Oreo only). I still prefer Open camera app used with manual settings (under HDR mode) for low light though as its faster, more customizable and compatible with Nougat up to the latest Android version. Those who don't like to use manual settings may prefer Google camera with Night Sight though. Here's the Google Camera with Night Sight apk link for the V20: https://www.google.com.ph/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/a66trj/google_camera_with_night_sight_ported_to_the_lg/

      ZeroLemon 10,000 mAh battery works really well with the LG V20.
      I get between 24-36 hours of runtime on a single charge. It does gradually decline in capacity after 9-12 months but even when 1.5 years old it has greater runtime than the OEM tiny battery which is almost worthless IMO and should be kept for an emergency.

      The other benefit of the ZL 10K mAh battery is that it makes the phone ticker and thus much easier to hold.

          There must be something I'm missing.

          I'd definitely like a better battery as well as a thicker phone!

If Miranda just wants a cover, there are some pretty good Chinese Nillkin back covers which provide a good grip and, also, level camera lenses with the rest of the phone surface thus protecting them from being scratched.

                  This is the most slippery phone I've ever owned. It'll be a miracle if it lasts until the grip cover arrives. I really wonder why mfrs go backward with things like that and Android moving the 'Clear All' button away from the controls. (I'm not able to upgrade my Android version now.)

                  And why on earth are phones so preposterously thin now? Makes them so much easier to break. This one is barely thicker than a piece of paper. Interferes with battery power/function too. Well that's all I have today ;)

                      Had been using H990DS for almost a year now. Upgraded from a Redmi Note 4. Prior to this, I used to have an LG Optimus 4X which was an absolute dog even though it had a nice build and a sweet screen.

                      Likes:
                      1) Fantastic audio quality with good headphones. It's even better than some dedicated audio players. Main reason for me getting this phone.
                      2) Separate dual SIM slots and a microSD slot. Can use my work and home SIMs in one phone. Automatic call forwarding from one SIM to another. The hybrid SIM/SD card slot in my old RN4 was a major irritant in this regard.
                      3) The screen is an upgrade from the RN4. Glad that this one is a proper 16:9 screen with square corners instead of the silly tall aspect screens with the rounded corners.
                      4) Not a huge photography buff, but I can see that this phone can take seriously impressive photos in the right hands.
                      5) Build quality is fantastic. Love the solid heavy feel this has. None of that pansy glass sandwich crap going on here.
                      6) Removable battery is a major, major plus.
                      7) Latest Oreo update hasn't slowed things down or caused any battery drain. Seems pretty stable and smooth.Though LG is late with the updates, the software seems to work well. Way better than the crap that was in the Optimus 4X.
                      8) I like that this has QuickCharge 3 and USB Type C.

                      Dislikes:
                      1) Battery Life is poor since I'm coming from the RN4. FWIW, it is worlds better than the Optimus 4X which had useless GPS and also used to heat up at the slightest load. Switching to Battery saver mode is essential to make it through a day of reasonably heavy calls. Having multiple batteries is more like a necessity if one is going for a trip. Finding new batteries is becoming a chore, though.
                      2) Curved screen is an annoyance. Sticking on a screen guard that is case friendly is also a challenge- the sides peel off and trap dust. Didn't face this issue with the RN4 which even though it had a curved screen and a case too.
                      3) Audio can be muffled or indistinct in calls since the screen is big and if we move our mouths away from the base for even a bit. Could also be that I do not speak loudly :D
                      4) Second screen is nice and all, but since I'm mostly in battery saver mode which turns it off, I wish that real estate was used for the main screen which would have hopefully made it a 6 incher.

                      Verdict: Call me old school, but I like my gadgets well made and lasting for quite a while. I used the Optimus 4X till it died. The present smartphone design landscape doesn't sit well with me- it's all show and not much utility. The glass sandwich, the notch/water droplet/ punch hole, tall screens with rounded corners, axing the headphone jack and SD card slot are all steps back. A polycarbonate or a well made metal body with a proper 16:9 screen, good audio, nice battery and storage options make a great daily phone for me. That's what the V20 is- a solid, rugged, dependable phone that's good for multimedia creation (this can be a pretty good photograper/ videographer's phone.. when the battery dies, just swap in another one) that was thoughtfully designed and made to last. I'll be using my V20 till this dies or when the smartphone designers come to their senses and start adding some genuine utility instead of this notch and folding nonsense.. (unlikely, though)

But if you happen to upgrade your V20 to Oreo, its already conveniently placed at the bottom near the navigation bar.

                            Just one of many completely incomprehensible posts in this thread!
                            Or is there something I'm missing?

                              Hi, I'm new to this phone and a couple of the design choices mystify me, coming from the V10. First, why did they revert to a smooth case back, after the grippy material on the V10? This one falls to the floor if you put it on most any surface. Fortunately I have padded carpeting, and I've caught it each time anyway. Then, why is the CLEAR ALL button so far away from the Home Touch Buttons? Since that's something I do a hundred times a day, it's dismaying that they've made it more difficult and time-consuming. Previously the two buttons were immediately adjacent, which makes sense since they're used in conjunction. Is there any way to remedy this? TIA.

                                  Great News, LG backtracks on its stance, promises Pie for the ignored LG V20, although it will not be until the third quarter of the year.

                                    The SD card supports up to 4TB. I have a 200GB in mine and I could put a 512GB in it if I could afford it.

There's no bootloop issue with the V20 not like the G4 which had a large portion of early production units suffering from bootloops due to poor soldering quality. Just buy the V20 brand new or if used, from someone reliable. That way, you'll have no hardware issues.
