    AnonD-190634, 08 Sep 2016Why do companies hate Europe so much?EU has a ban on high headphone outputs, which is why the iPhone has a 9dB lower output in Europe.

    The LG phones are all about the audio output, and having enough to drive larger headphones, so they lose one of their main features.

    Your question should be why does the EU hate audiophiles so much

          I'm so sick of having to wait between product announcements and launches. Why can't they just do both at once?

            Anonymous, 08 Sep 2016How about Ip7?no crapple products for me. i have s7 atm. looking for something new, bc they talk about s8 might only be with curved screen. i like my phone flat and my woman curved. not the other way around.

                LG is struggling for quite a while now. After G5 which is already forgotten now they're not selling their second flagship in Europe. It's over i'm afraid, after g2 there was nothing really innovative from LG.

                  It was pitched as the first, new smartphone "Out of the box" to have Nougat, and that is absolutely true. It has nothing to do receiving the update on an older device.

                    I suspect LG is delaying the European version of the V20 (and the V10 last year, too) to avoid charging a higher price in Europe. Qualcomm is believed to charge more for chips with more LTE bands. And European phones need way more LTE bands.

                    I suspect this is also the reason the European version of theV10 has 32 GB of internal storage instead of the 64 GB that America was offered.

                    If this is accurate, it shows LG is being innovative not just with phone design, but sales and marketing too.

                      Belgians just buy Apple and Samsung devices. LG knows it, I hope someone from a more reliable source will provide more appreciable details.

                          My new V10 arrives today. I find the V20 a disappointing successor. It should've kept the same design as the V10, start with 64GB minimum internal storage and offer a 128GB and 256GB option. Now it'll be released late again in Europe and might not even come at all. Bad phone, bad move.

                                      This is correct. It will most likely land in Europe January 2017. Huge mistake imo.

                                        Whats the price of v20?
