Can't understand why LG didn't release this phone in the UK, especially after the Note 7 debacle and with Google totally overpricing their hardware.

    So now that the Note 7 has been cancelled, surely LG need to get their act together and release the v20 in the UK. It essentially means LG will have almost zero competition with regards to phablet style phones i.e not an apple.

        Although LG have stated to me this morning that it's still undecided:

        Hi David, thank you for contacting LG! It's not been confirmed, whether the V20 will be launched in the UK or not. For all the information on new product you can keep a look out on www.lg.com/uk

            Warrantee is important..
            I feel I must qualify this comment as I made the switch from apple to Sony first, then found the camera to be well short of the advertised quality (pink center hue (yes even when shooting in manual)). I took a gamble and purchased the LG G4 as the lens and focusing systems looked good. I am now a big LG fan, best phone I've ever owned.
            Now back to the point, possible warrantee issues?
            My one grievance with LG is that although they are a huge global company, when my G4 fell victim to the dreaded bootloop 10 months into ownership (openly acknowledged by LG to be a hardware fault and would be repaired or replaced under warranty (Google it)). Upon contacting my service center in the UK I was politely told that my handset was not a UK handset and I should contact the service center from the country of origin, in this case Switzerland as LG UK could not help me (eBay purchase). This did not go well, I still have it somewhere collecting dust.
            So be warned, LG make great phones for photography but make sure you are aware of the warrantee issues. I did buy another LG handset as I've yet to see better photos taken on any other mobile, this time on the box it says GBR and not SWS.

                    Oh well LG, I'd really have loved to get it, but if you really insist, I'll give my money to Samsung, smart move!

                          Oh my God, I mean seriously if this is true, whoever is their adviser there needs to be out of the job. You have your key enemy (Samsung) on the ropes and you won't punch more to gain advantage. The L in LG stands for loser!!!

                            No wonder that LG is failing against Samsung.Their business politics is utterly catastrophic.I dont know who made this decision,but he deserves a Nobel-prize,for sure...Anyway,I was waiting for this phone,but honestly,its a disappointment.Its at flagship level,but doesnt deliver anything extra.I have a Note 4,which is 2 years old,but except of the chipset,the phone is WAY BETTER than the V20.Not mentioning the S-pen.Who cares about dicdac flickflack audio,or what...This is a phone.Not a Radio station.

                              The way I see this, is that they're focusing on the markets that have very tough competition, that is, US and China. It's not about making profit (which they could do in Europe), it's about not losing. The markets in Europe are totally different from others. From my point of view it seems that in the US there's competition solely for the purpose of competition.

                              So, their decision is sort of understandable but still bloody stupid

                                      This company is totally insane.
                                      The time is bloody right.
                                      The phone is red-hot
                                      The specs on high level
                                      They even have Android 7,and the removable battery as only company in the world......
                                      A huge selling company wants it......

                                      AND THEY DON'T SELL IN EURO OR THE NETHERLANDS IN PARTICULAR.
                                      This is utterly madness.

                                      LG, get that V20 over here.
