LG v20 (H990DS) Indian version, finally getting an android update.
Almost after 2 years of using this device, when I was about to jump the ship, this update came.

    Check out GSMArena's photo compare tool. Pay particular attention to the fine detail retention in sponge Bob's, and Lincoln's face in the 5-dollar bill:

      bigdaddy, 24 Mar 2019Simply terrible interface to file managerThere's a hundred file managing apps available in the Playstore if you hate LG's built in file managing app. I personally use Files app by Google and CM File Manager HD by Cheetah Mobile for my file transfer/file management needs.

          If the above doesn't work, try a full factory reset.
          If it still doesn't work, you may have a defective V20 unit. Have it repaired at a service center.

              I recently started using LG V20. My problem is the Screen is never awake to see incoming calls or while making or taking calls. I have to wake up the screen manually with the power button. Any help with the settings?

                LG used to put such great cameras on their phones, then they downgraded to the generic crap. :S

                  Sorry got the G6 display wrong. It's also IPS (not amoled like in the V30) so it's good to have if you value phone longevity. (The G6's sealed battery may not be as easy to replace though (assuming the battery is still available) and the replacement process will take a toll on water resistance - not to mention you may have to leave your phone to the technician for a few days until the repair is completed.

                    Furiounx, 16 Mar 2019Wow thanks for your recommendation! But I need a new phone ... moreI'd pick the V20 every single time over the G6 if you can still get the V20 brand new. What the G6 does have is a marginally improved processor (snapdragon 821 vs sd 820 for the V20), a 128GB internal storage option for the G6, (the V20 maxes out at 64GB) and water resistance for the G6 (although shortlived) which the V20 doesn't have. The G6 also has amoled display if you prefer oversaturated colors and deep blacks in exchange for shorter display life and faster display deterioration from permanent screen burn in.

                    What the V20 has over the G6 and many other newer LG phones that came AFTER the V20 are the removable battery option (best taken advantage of by purchasing and using 6500mAh extended batteries, or by purchasing and using multiple spare OEM batteries with external charger accessory), an IR blaster with learn mode, a dedicated micro sd slot for dual SIM models (expands storage without giving up the second SIM slot), a bigger, wider screen, (the diagonal may be the same between the G6 and V20 but photos and videos are actually bigger on the V20 due to its 16:9 aspect ratio) and the presence of a second screen in the V20.

But I need a new phone so I'm going to need a phone. I'm split between the G6 and V20 as they're the same price but the G6 has 32GB and the V20 has 64GB.

                          As for bokeh, the V20 produces real bokeh from its f/1.8 lens. It's not as blurry as those in the newer phones with fake bokehs but you can capture in RAW/DNG mode and postprocess the images for 100% better looking bokeh than what you can ever get
                          with in-phone processing... or, you can just download and app to get better fake bokehs from the V20.

                          But seriously, my recommendation if you are at at all serious about bokeh, portrait photography and image quality in low light: Get a dSLR with an F/1.4 lens for 1/3 the price of most flagship phones and get that REAL, perfect bokeh in any lighting conditions that
                          no smartphone can even remotely claim to come close to.

                          If anybody (including smartphone manufacturers) claim otherwise, be warned it's a promise as FAKE as the fake bokehs their phones produce.

                          Speed? The V20's snapdragon 820 processor has plenty of speed it is no longer as speedy compared to the latest phones that have more speed than is actually needed for Facebook, Youtube, Gaming and other media and multimedia consumption stuff.

                          You actually buy phones with the fastest processor speeds because of the bragging rights you get - not really because it makes phone multimedia consumption and enjoyment a lot better. Actually, the battery life/capacity and the screen size and resolution are more important things to consider when buying a phone nowadays as processor speeds are already fast enough even for midrange phones. Besides, buying the latest and the fastest phone is like buying a race car and using it primarily on normal city traffic (Facebook, Youtube, browsing, etc.) It's good to feel to have 'extra speed' and 'power' but it really doesn't make sense unless you are using your phone more than 50% of the time in heavy, processor and graphics intensive gaming and other atypical phone activities. If you do, you better have the battery capacity and large screen size to make the experience with a faster processor truly better. Otherwise, a midrange processor with huge screen and huge battery will give you a waay much better gaming experience and enjoyment than some snapdragon 855 processor in a phone with a cute screen and small battery that dies at the peak of your gaming enjoyment and excitement.

                            Kingslayer, 11 Mar 2019Never had a bootloop problem. This and the G5. You have this phone? I'm looking to upgrade in the coming months. How is the primary camera performance? Can you take bokeh pictures? Is it's performance sufficiently snappy? Thanks in advance!

The gestures for Nova launcher Prime (premium add on to the free Nova launcher) makes every android phone truly your own.

I got 1 SEA variant, 1 HKG variant, and my first LG V20, purchased in the Philippines, an ESA Variant. First 2 are on Oreo 8.0 - the Philippines ESA South East Variant is "still being tested" for compatibility with the LG V20, according to LG Philippines. A joke - and a huge, final disappointment. No LG cell phone ever again. NP There are so many attractive alternatives.
