LG V20 review: Twice as bright

23 September 2016
If the LG V20 was a superhero - and we're not convinced that it's not - its superpower would be to have two of everything (or more!). Two screens, two cameras... twice!, four DACs, two apps on the screen, the list goes on and on.

This was a great phone, who did not like the OLED contrast will enjoy the greatest LCD panel, not just ordinary LCD Panel but Quantum Display, the colors is really great not too vivid like oled even the black colors is nearly black should be

The Dual Things is the most unique part including Dual Sim,Dual Cam, Dual Flash, Dual Selfie Mode, and Dual Screen, also the cam results is very good than nowadays phone and the battery is replaceable

But the drawbacks is screen retention like Burnt OLED, and no bokeh mode, but overall we should see some unique classic WideScreen Phone like this, really Widescreen still has their market especially for movie lovers

                          There is no "light bleeds".The "screen ghosting" is real,that's the truth,but it is fairly avoidable,just don't leave the screen on while you go take a dump in toilet.
                          The screen is no "mediocre" by ANY means (except the ghosting) and it is priming above any screen you get today in midrange phones (2020!) In fact...you will not find 1440 x 2560 pixels, 16:9 ratio in ANY midrange device of today's!And I compared its color accuracy with newer samsung and huawei devices (some others too),you want me to tell you the result?It is NOT cartoonish like a samsung and it is not overexposed like huawei!It has the closes colours display to real than any of 2020 midrangers!
                          And it's not 1080× 2400 (with some weird aspect ratio)!
                          So go back to your corner and don't comment on the devices you NEVER had in your hands!PLEASE!
