"the lg v20 looks nothing like the lg v20"

[BRSG.]

Thank you, LG, for giving us replaceable batteries.

No sir, the "thunder" is that the LG V20 is launching out of the box with Android N. Yes the Nexus devices receive the N Update, but they certainly weren't launched with it. Man, I'm starting to miss reviews by Josh. It's coming across nowadays, that these new reviewers have a hidden agenda when reviewing devices. So quick to list what THEY think are negative aspects of a device, before pointing out all the good. As if the reviewers themselves are breaking revolutionary grounds on reporting negative attributes. I miss the early days of Android Authority. Gone are those days, I suppose.

Hurm I don't know why, but I think the V10 looks more handsome

[quotemock]

One of the reasons why I love my V10 is the way it looks, the V20 has gone away from that.

[redvivid]

So the v20 looks nothing like the v20... 🤔

If Samsung still had a removable battery the note 7 recall would not be. Just basically swap your battery take "NOTES" Sammy no pun intended lol

I love LG phones. The G2 is my all time favorite device. The G3 was great. Loved the V10. I didn't care to much for the G5 at first, but it grew on me and it seriously flies. Looks like the V20 will be great also. I really like LG's skin too.

Thanks for your constant coverage on latest devices
really appreciated

What is it with these companies and their love for camera humps? I would much rather have a slightly thicker phone and have the camera flush with the back, plus the increased battery size that comes with a slightly larger phone. Also why get rid of the duraskin back? it gave the original v10 identity

Hats off to LG.. very beautiful and premium looking handset

[ore]

removable battery nice way to keep metal and accessibility together perhaps could be a new start for smartphones

[derzulya]

Replaceable battery, quad dac, triple array microphone, expandable storage, (maybe not the best but) very good camera... Wow!

[rustynugget]

apple headed in the right direction by making one of the cameras a higher focal length. when was the last time you were like "wow... i totally wish i could get more in frame with my phone" more often than not you wish you could get a closer shot of something. shout out to apple for doing that

13 seconds ago... This is the earliest I've ever been

[sincerenaz]

just got my v10 for $250. no need to change it. love it too much

[LarryLopez]

Battery still seems a little small for the screen size. I guess we'll wait and see how efficient it is.

[lndsyjmnz]

Why do you sound like you're spitting? idk.. It's disturbing af...

[ryanlloyd]

wish they would have kept the buttons on the back. I really like how easy it is to adjust the volume when listening to my head phones in the otter box clip. the sound is amazing on my v10

[vijendersingh]

i liked the idea of secondary screen, it just needs a stock android, more battery life, military grade build (like that of v10), improved camera, waterproof body and BAM you got a super smartphone !!
