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.

When are you going to update this review with the production version of the phone?

It's been a while now

    Lumia 930, 925, 1020, and so on, still outperforms V20 in audio recording, capturing up to 140dB without distortion. I'm still waiting for a better recording phone.

          No problem with the battery crap, battery is swappable, meaning you can carry spare battery up to 5x and never again you will experience low battery. Now that's unbeatable!

                    I didn't expect this for two reasons:
                    1\This is not a flagship phone,but it has many great features.
                    2\With all rese feature why not so important things like wireless charging and water proof. I would be Perfect device

                      what took you guys so long to update the review based on the unit sold to the market? it's been so long since the phone was released to the market. no other sites gives detailed battery test like you guys

                                I believe the Amazon Fire phone still holds the record for most cameras. We shall never speak of this again.
