I've two units, mostly for audio vid edition purposes, but the decision can be at present positive if the main currently unit used say I doesn't work more.
Remaining an only problem when Google cuts services to the oldests OS.

Headphone jack with quad dac is amazing for music, display without notch or holes,removable battery,card slot
Just get a new battery and do a hard reset
LG is out of mobile business so this phone is an instant classic

I got the phone when I was a 16 y.o. girl, looking for which phone to get next. I knew all specifications of it and the competitors by heart because I spent so much time watching reviews on YouTube 😁 This was the most informed purchase of a phone I ever made, and as a result, the V20 is still my favorite phone.
I'm at a point in time when I think I will have to be buying a new one, and I'm not looking forward to it as much, because LG was at that sweet spot where their phones were cheap but feature packed. Today, that's Chinese brands like Xiaomi, but I can't bring myself to live with MIUI... Unfortunately, the only choice for me right now is an unexciting midranger (that costs even more than what I paid for the V20 in 2017 on ebay if you don't count the tax of shipping it into my country). I can see myself using the V20 as a secondary phone for a good few more years, until I can't anymore. This is really the last of it's kind. Though, I think I can see people develop an almost unhealthy obsession with this phone 😄 I must've told all my friends and their grandma about how great this phone is and how much I love the IR blaster, the wide-angle selfie cam, the audio, the metal back etc etc. (and probably multiple times, thus annoying them). But it's true.
So, anyways, that's my experience with the phone, using it from September 2017. In truth, it felt like cheating the system, getting this phone, because it was so damn cheap, with all its bells and whistles... Goodbye LG, you had a good run. Wow, that reads like a eulogy. Sorry! :D

Well I have T-Mobile's assurance that the H918 will still work on their system. Of course I would have to change carriers. No problem. So I found one supposedly with original OS. It might even be a B&O version. Says B&O headphones in the box. It was the last one they had too. It's on the way. Fingers crossed. Cheers!

Novice , 25 Jul 2021Is it good deal to buy LG v20 for 74$ in 2021. Just for you... moreabsolutely, at the end of the day it used to be flagship phone so it used high end parts for pretty much everything not just soc,camera,audio dac,screen all those stuff, just because it has been 5 years, doesn't mean it suddenly becomes crap especially comparing to the today low end phone. look at the offering of low end phone today,you're gonna ended up happier with v20, especially in up to 200usd region, low spec, lesser features, and really crappy UI, i've seen many of low up to mid smartphone today that really being destroyed by their pathetic UI, lagging at home screen, that's just pathetic, if you're talking a decent today mid end smartphone or flagship then that's a different story but you won't find it at $74 price point

Novice , 25 Jul 2021Is it good deal to buy LG v20 for 74$ in 2021. Just for you... moretotally. my friend has been rocking it for the last 4 years and it still holds up pretty well (battery capacity is naturally declining tho)
cameras are still great (especially because of laser focus and OIS)
the Snapdragon 820 is still a capable processor, though i have noticed significant lag sometimes when you overload it with tasks/ light-medium gaming. please buy a version with high enough ram

FRILL, 20 Jul 2021Thank you for the input. I don't mind a larger device.... moreit is big though like big big but so far that's the only con in my opinion, if you're not gonna use the dual screen case the battery life is superb
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJYUYeW_mqU
the reason why i mention lg g8x because i have a friend who using v20 and lg g8x and he said the size pretty similar in hand and so far he's alright with g8x
g8x : 159.3 x 75.8 x 8.4 mm (6.27 x 2.98 x 0.33 in)
v20 : 159.7 x 78.1 x 7.6 mm (6.29 x 3.07 x 0.30 in)
v60 : 169.3 x 77.6 x 8.9 mm (6.67 x 3.06 x 0.35 in)
but personally i also more into v60, if i have to deal with super big phone, that's the one i would be very happy with

Anonymous, 18 Jul 2021or lg g8x if the v60 is way too big for your taste, i much ... moreThank you for the input. I don't mind a larger device. This one was on the larger side for it's time. I'm probably not going to get a dual screen. Battery time is my main concern. Followed by the Quad DAC. So if the V20 H918 variant won't work, it's looking like the V60. The 1080p screen should have a positive effect on battery life. Still Hoping I'll luck out with the other variant though. Best Regards.

So it's looking like one of three options is going happen. One, find somebody that knows what they're doing to root and install a custom ROM that activates the VoLTE if that's even possible. Two, buy a new H918 variant in hopes that TMobile didn't drop the ball like sprint did. Have to go to the store and talk to a tech About that... Or three, get a V50 or a V60. Still researching the best option with those. One has the good screen and finger print scanner, one has the good speakers and battery so far.. Neither are anything close too a V20... Five and a half months to go now.

Emmanuel Ndamati, 22 Jun 2021Hello, please point me in the right direction of where you... moreSomething to consider. Make sure VoLTE is onboard otherwise when 3G disappears in the near future phone calls will only run through VoLTE and some sort of 5G set up. Not looking forward to this so far. Any input on the VoLTE vs V20 is extremly welcome at the moment. Best Regards.

depending on the price range.

The V20 has been the best phone I have ever had and with all the features it would be hard to give up. I have 3 of them, one is the tester, another is the beta, and the last is mainstay.
