Knew it. That it wouldn't go over 70h. Since all the other features cover up for its disappointing battery endurance, 63h should be fine, right?

Nope. V20 it's too big for me. 5,7" looks like kitchen pan. I'd rather stay with G5.

Audio, that stereo cross talk tho. not something that quality dedicated DAC should be delivering. quite clear that the 4x 32 bit stuff is gimmicky.

Once again a mediocre battery life typical of lg phones. Disappointing.
The audio department looks excellent though.

GSMArena has dropped the ball of late. Rushing the reviews without proper battery testing, extensive camera testing is of no good. Lot of people rely on review sites to decide if a phone is worthy of purchase, and the editors should strive to help people better.
About the phone, I've never liked LG's UI. To me, the visual elements are cartoon-ish and plain ugly. I haven't held the phone in hands yet, but I'm not particularly excited about the design and build quality. What I like, though, is its audio capabilities. I wish other OEMs follow LG's way and take a cue or two from their books.
Overall, a meh phone, save for the audio experience.

There you go, every single LG's phone suffers from disappointing battery life!!!
I love the idea behind V20, but it's absolutely unacceptable.
The way I see it, LG thinks that - common people do not see the web review so they could never figure out real-life battery life in the shop on the street corner, thus, "short battery duration doesn't matter"..
But it does matter. I'm going to walk out on you, so long LG!

I saw you pick Axon 7 as an alternative. So when will GSMarena review this phone?

No FM radio neither DAB, that's a pity. The barometer sensor vanished as well.

Although i like the design of the V20.I feel the design of the V10 had more character.Kudos to LG to have incorporated both removable battery and a metal body.

"It's also a phone built for durability and longevity - something all consumers would appreciate."
I would suggest to leave a few weeks to see if all is ok with this phone first. I read all sort of things about LG including Bootloop, Bad color calibration, poor battery life with 2nd screen on, etc... After all, what reviewers called the best phone yet happened to be explosive.
