LG V20 Review

The attractive LG V20 phablet is overflowing with features that will appeal to audiophiles, photographers, and average Android users alike. Think of the LG V20 as the result of combining the company's unique V10 with design cues from the newer G5. In short, you get a 5.7-inch metal Android phone with a "secondary" display, two rear cameras, and a host of killer features for audiophiles and photographers. You also get one of the first phones to ship with Android 7.0 Nougat, and one of the few flagships to feature a removable battery. Factor in a durable build, top-notch hardware, and terrific camera performance, and the V20 is one of the best big Android phones you can buy right now. For audiophiles in particular, it shares our Editors' Choice with the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Pricing, Design, and FeaturesThe V20's price varies depending on carrier, but it's largely comparable with other high-end flagships on the market. The least expensive place you'll find it is on Verizon, for $672. T-Mobile sells the phone for $769.99, while picking it up on Sprint will run you a bit more at $792. AT&T is the most expensive carrier...
Pros:
  • Durable metal body
  • Top-of-the-line hardware
  • Excellent camera performance
  • High-quality audio
  • Useful "secondary" display
  • Latest Android software
  • Includes removable battery, expandable storage, and IR blaster
Cons:
  • Average battery life
  • Heavy software layer and carrier bloatware
  • No waterproofing or wireless charging

LG V20 Review: A Big-Screen Beast for Content Creators

The LG V20 is a bit of a strange beast. It looks like an enlarged LG G5 and skips most of the design features that made last year's V10 unique. Its battery life is pretty average, and with a price tag starting at around $750 (depending on which carrier you choose), it's not cheap, either.
Pros:
  • Dual rear cameras offer different angles
  • Great manual controls for photo/video
  • Handy
  • always-on second screen
  • High-gain microphones
  • Removable battery
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • No waterproofing
  • So-so battery life

Review: LG V20

With the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 going up in smoke , there's a little more room for other jumbo phones to get some attention. The LG V20 is one of those mammoths, a 5.7-inch display with top-line internals and a handful of distinguishing features.
Pros:
  • Monster specs should appeal to power users
  • Audio features (both listening and recording) are a major step up
  • The second display could be a gimmick, but it's actually useful
Cons:
  • The design lacks some polish, especially for the price
  • Verizon bloatware and LG skin are crummy
  • It's not waterproof
  • The fingerprint reader as power button drove me bananas

The LG V20 isn't the perfect smartphone. Neither is it the prettiest nor the longest lasting. It has several shortcomings most notably, it lacks Snapdragon 821, it's not waterproof, it isn't as polished as its competition and it has an IPS rather than an AMOLED screen.
Pros:
  • Great perfomance
  • Android Nougat
  • Removable battery
  • 32-bit Quad DAC chip
  • Wide angle camera
Cons:
  • No wireless charging
  • Not waterproof
  • Camera underperforms in low light
  • Not available in UK or Europe
