The LG V20 will release this month
South Korea, Seoul. – LG Electronics Inc. (NASDAQ: LGEAF) finally announced the launch of their upcoming flagship smartphone, the LG V20, the world’s first device to come with the all-new Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box.
V20 is the successor to last year’s V10, a phone that became popular because of its unique design, great camera, and advanced audio playback. V20 retained those features and introduced new exciting ones.
The phone will be rolling out by late September in South Korea, and other countries will follow the upcoming weeks. It will come in three colors: pink, gray and titan (dark gray). Prices will range by carrier and country, although the company hasn’t released price details just yet.
Unfortunately for LG, the V20 is the handset most people will ignore this month because of the iPhone 7 landslide that’s about to hit the store shelves. That doesn’t mean the V20 isn’t worth to check out.
Display and specs
The phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with X12 LTE connectivity. It has 4GB RAM memory and 64GB storage which users can increase up to 2TB with microSD.
The screen is a 5.7-inch Quality HD IPS Quantum Display (2560X1440), with 513 pixels per seconds. It has a secondary display (160X1040/513ppi) installed that offers a smaller display above the main screen, where users can view notifications and alerts.
V20 has an 8MP main camera and a 5MP front camera with Auto Shot and Hybrid Auto Focus options. It has an easily replaceable battery 3200mAh with Quick Charge 3.0 to power up the smartphone four times faster.
The phone comes with a single USB Type-C port, a lightweight aluminum body with a silicon protective material in the front, and Al6013 metal on the back – a material found in bikes, airplanes, and sailboats. LG tested the phone and proved it can survive a four-feet drop.
