I got the V20 on 10/31 replacing my V10 and I could not be more happier. Some key things stick out to me using the new phone: Bottom Firing Speaker: MUCH louder than the V10. I was shocked at how more detailed and loud the sound was coming out. Battery Life: I get over DOUBLE the run time off the charger then the V10. I streamed music for 9 hours straight with Social Media switching here and there before hitting 20%. I see more dips in battery life when I am constantly on my phone but it is light years better than my previous phone. Durability: I dropped my phone and got the same knick on the side as you Juan, but the phone shook this off as nothing. I was pissed because I had a case on order and was delivered the next day. It feels slippery in my hands and it is such a pretty phone (to me) that I needed to protect it. Headphone usage/DAC: I have some Panasonic ErgoFit RP-HJE120-R headphones as my daily drivers.They have amazing sound for the price and the new DAC is definitely pushing better sound. It is much louder to the point where I have to turn it down because it's too much. I got the deal to get the B&O headphones for Free and I cannot wait to get those to experience real high quality sound. This phone is simply amazing. If you got the cash I recommend buying it.

I'd rather pay $800 for a phone that can almost do it all than pay $5000- $10,000 on professional equipment that I really dont have alot of money for nor do I have too much time to waste sitting around trying to save up to get all that stuff, on top of that I do need a new phone. So then I can catch 2 birds with one net. I can't speak for anyone else but this phone is definitely worth it. And for those that don't know or even if they do they'd rather waste money on an iphone honestly that's their loss More for those of us who are smart about our SMART Phone choices.

And to that point, if someone wasn't a tech savvy consumer, what would they know about the V20 from LG advertising?

Here's the issue I have with the Lg V20. A co-worker and I were really looking forward to this phone when it was announced, but with all of the hands on reviews and not having a proper released date the Google Pixel was announced and our interest started to sway a bit. We were starting to become conflicted as to which phone we wanted or liked more. It all came down to whichever phone was released first and that would be the one we'd get and it so happened to be the Pixel. Neither of us are disappointed with our choice, but we were willing and wanting to give the V20 a shot. As great and capable of a phone as it may be, it just got lost in the shuffle of news about the Note 7 recall and the Google Pixel release and great reviews. They just didn't a presence for customers to get excited about or actually put their hands on. It's a real shame to, as this should be the de facto Note 7 placeholder until Samsung makes it's next move. Missed opportunity on LG's part.

Juan, your the shit! I have been saying what you just said in this review for the last few months. OMG! Reviewer's who know nothing about a camera with manual mode, get to the reviews and say...the camera isn't that great because its not like the Samsung's or pixels! And my response is...LG never said that they are the best for point and shoot in automatic mode. I don't understand how these people who have a higher level of understanding don't get it! That's why i love LG, they don't give a shit about fitting into the norm of what's going on with everything else out there. Thank you for explaining what this phone is about its about, people who aren't afraid to try something new while allowing you to take full control. What it shows me is people love saying how they are in control until they are in control, then it becomes a problem! As i said...It doesn't mean a car is bad because it was only made with a manual transmission and you only know how to drive an automatic! And that's the problem, people love saying how they are in control but yet when control is handed over to them then they don't like it! I'm so tired of hearing that the V20 camera is not as good, because you can't shoot in manual mode makes it bad! Then they'll say...the pixel, Samsung and Apple does it better! Well i'm sorry you don't know your way around manual controls Content Creators! I guess i'm having problems comprehending what Content Creators means. I heard that within the next few years an award-winning documentary and or movie will be shot on a smartphone, well that won't happen if you don't know how to set the mood to the scene! This reminds me of the Polaroid vs. film days!

One of my son-in-laws has a V20. The glass over the rear camera has broken twice. The first time when it was brand new and AT&T exchanged the phone. The next time he had it for a little over a month and LG told him. 1. The repair will cost $80. 2. They were out of stock on replacement glass. That is really terrible customer support. He has been using another phone for the past few months. I recently ordered a new glass cover for the rear camera and will replace it for him. LG could have avoided this problem that many V20 owners are having by just designing the cover properly in the first place. Also, this is clearly a design flaw and LG's lack of addressing if this, very common, issue does not say much good about how LG cares for it's customers.

I went ahead and went with the iPhone 7+, because I've never been disappointed with performance and that's what I care most about. I also had to go for it because of the "iPhone every year" deal is just excellent.

I recently upgraded to the S7 from the S6 Edge, and I'm having some serious buyer's remorse. The S7 has terrible color shifting, and it drives me absolutely bonkers as I never experienced this on my Edge. Do you notice any issues with this on the V20? The audio implementation alone has me on the edge of clicking "add to cart," and if it doesn't suffer from the same screen issues as my S7, I'm sold on it.

This coming from a samsung snob... The ONLY reason I got this phone *In 2018 mind you* is my refusal to give up an easily swap-able battery since I carry a spare to swap in when on the go. My original launch purchased note 4 is still kicking but I was ready for something new and it's showing it's age. I was going to buy a new note 4 to replace mine but then.. for some reason.. I decided no.. I want something newer.. but with the battery option. The LG V20 was the only option I was seeing that was newer with a big screen I'm used to from my previous generations of the note line. I must say... I am impressed... I didn't have high hopes at all.. I figured "well this phone is from 2016 it's not going to be that good" I was wrong.. even today I am impressed with the upgrade from the note 4.. Yes I miss my S-pen terribly ... But that audio from the headphone jack... I thought all the reviews were BS thinking... Audio is audio.. how can my $40 earbuds sound any better on a different phone... OH... wait it does.... a lot.... then I thought "oh look another fingerprint sensor.. but on the back.. well this is stupid due to it being a big phone.. (I was used to the thumb sensor on the home button and having to swipe) so I ASSUMED it'd be finicky and just awkward in my hand to fight with.... also so very very wrong again.. That sensor works so much better than the note.. Oh... hey... that second screen is awesome as well.... and wow.. the responsiveness is wonderful too..... TLDR: Me being a DIE-hard Galaxy Note snob.... I.. am Impressed with this LG v20... I really... really... like it.... I miss my Spen but I'll get over it.

Recently left Samsung and I now love my V20, however I wish people would stop using the removable back cover as an excuse for the lack of water resistance. My S5 had (actually quite impressive) water resistance and the back cover was removable.

I checked out this phone and was happy overall until I noticed the light bleed at the bottom of the screen, mainly in the corners. Did some research and found it was a common problem. Make sure you check on this before you spend the $ and / or your 2 weeks is up. Good luck!

LG need to market and advertise their flagship phones even more. When Samsung and Apple release their flagship phones, all I see is advert after advert. When LG releases a new phone all I see is 2 or 3 ads here and there.

Not too many reviewers dig deep enough with this phone they just scrap the surface playing with auto mode and complaining about the ui and dull screen. It's not what I would call well built but it's a very capable phone if you're savvy. Another good review dude!
@pp3k3jamail7 жыл бұрын
Mr2pint The v20 screen is not dull tho. if you hold it next to a note 7 or Samsung phone the Samsung phone screen is not that much better, the colors on the Samsung phone is going to pop out a little more because of the saturation in their Colours but it's not like the LG v20 screen is like the LG G3 washed-out screen. the LG G4 had a great bright screen I should know because I have the LG G4 and the LG v20. The LG v20 screen is better and more brighter than the LG G4 screen.

Ever since the V10 came out I wanted to get one badly. I don't feel the same with the V20 though. The way I see it is LCD screen and average battery for 800 bucks, the glass is half empty.
@pp3k3jamail7 жыл бұрын
VoloKin Project battery is not average. in the LCD screen does not suck flossy Carter one of the best reviews on KZfaq held the v20 screen up against the Note 7 screen and the screens are right on par with each other with Samsung screen being a little bit more brighter and saturated because of the colors.

I've had the phone for a few weeks, it's a big jump from the G4. The cameras are the best LG has put out and the DAC is simply perfect. Not to mention the mic quality and manual controls are superb. I already used the mics on a film shoot as our boom died and it's great for mixing. The V20 is a content creator's best friend.

So true. It's amazingly versatile, and throw on an app like PowerDirector, and it becomes a handy all-in-one shooting and editing device.
