LG V20 hands-on: First impressions

06 September 2016
Today LG unveiled the highly anticipated LG V20, a successor of the rugged and powerful V10 phablet. The new V20 focuses on keeping what made the V10 so cool - the secondary display, toughness, great audio specs and impressive camera capabilities, but continues to improve the looks, the chipset, the camera experience, and the battery life.

          If your G4 battery is bad, replace it, that's one of the reasons you bought LG in the first place.

          As for OLED - the LG technology is for TV not phones, it is quite different and would use more power. However, OLEDs for phones do not last as long as IPS, and in practice use just as much power. Apple "may" switch to OLED - but at the moment they regard IPS as better, as do Sony and LG, and I personally agree with them - I don't like distorted colours.

                  Hope they would add the function of changing the screen resolution to Full HD.

                    Good specs, awful design.. The front remindes me somewhat of an HTC, maybe M7, but the back looks like a cheap replica of something else lol
                    The V10 has a more retro, vintage look if you can say it. But this is just bleah!
                    What happened to the G4 design? I'm not an LG fan but the leather one even made me think about buying one.
                    Also, I think that the 2ND display could be a LOT more useful if they place it on the bottom, not on top. That way one handed use would be actually possible on that phablet sized display.

                      Nice job on the v20 not coming with the B&O headphones in the US,like how the g5 couldn't get the B&O DAC in the US. Just stupid.

                        Its amazing how no one even reviewers didn't notice such a major design flaw in this phone. That back cover opening button, just imagine how many times your V-20 cover will be popping out while carrying it in a tight jeans pocket?

                            -It is said that availability in Europe will take months. This is no good for LG. But good for customers as people lose interest for V20 after 2-3 months and price will drop quickly.
                            -Audio signal output needs to be around 0.7-1.0VDC. If it is still 0.3VDC like G5, it is no good for audiophiles.
                            Earphone needs to be excluded from the package. We have more than enough earphones
                            -If extra battery is bundled, it will gain much more customers

                              Did LG delete Dual Sim from this phone? Was hoping for a true dedicated dual sim with Micro SD expansion...this is so disappointing....

                                      Please LG, let everybody catch up on you, at least you already have the future technology, keep it steady and nothing could go wrong...
