I do it while driving on long road trips sometimes, but otherwise, I don't do that at all.
The Z Play has one.
LG already has the manufacturing capability to make the V20. Making a scaled up version of the same thing wouldn't be all that hard. They're also already making the G6. Making a scaled up version of the same thing wouldn't be all that hard either. Phone OEM's have been shipping multiple versions of the same phone for ages now and LG is certainly no exception. (LG G6 has three versions.) LG has been losing market share for years now. They need to reverse the trend. The key issue: What does LG do that makes their phone really stand out? Well look what ASUS did last year for a pricepoint of $799 while still managing to turn a solid profit. The dirty little secret is that RAM and internal storage aren't really all that expensive. Apple has been making a killing by offering phones with massive internal storage upgrades with a price markup of several hundred dollars. It costs them next to nothing and nets them pure profit. But that's not the game LG needs to play this year. They need to make a compelling case that theirs is the undisputed best phone of the year so they can seize and ultimately retain a larger chunk of the global market share.
To make it even more simple, I'm looking to replace my ancient SGS5. LG G6 and SGS8 both look too weak on specs. I'm not interested in waiting till the end of the year to see what the next Google Pixel looks like. That leaves the Note 8, the V30 and an unlikely outside shot for the HTC Ocean/11/whatever. If the V30 offers the best specs, that's my next phone. If it's equal-equal with the Note 8 and LG V30 (and HTC flops as usual) then I'm going with the Note 8 for the added stylus functionality.
That all makes sense, but if LG attempts that, they're going to lose boatloads of cash because over 90% of the market will ignore them despite the specs.
If you want to walk soar among the eagles then you've got to make some bold moves. LG rarely makes bold moves. That's why their market share has been shrinking. It goes without saying that Samsung's name recognition will keep them miles in the lead. That's not the point. The point is to begin to make the case for LG being the better phone. Last year, I had the same decision in front of me: Note 7 or LG V20. The V20 offered no compelling reason to convince me that it was any better than the Note 7. Same specs, no waterproofing, no stylus. Note 7 won easily.
There are three versions of the LG G6. They S Korea version, the USA version and the everyone else version. The make dozens of sub-flagship models as well. Making two significantly different versions of the V30 wouldn't be that difficult and it would allow them to appeal to two different user bases.
Thanks for the missing the point. Regional differences aside, the G6 and the future V30, like the G5 and the V20, and like, to some extent, the G4 and V10, are essentially all the same phone marketed to two different crowds.
I think we all know that when push comes to shove, LG is going to take the worse-than-expected sales of the V20 as a sign that marketing to folks who want IR blasters and removable batteries isn't improving their fortunes. They'll do what Samsung did and ditch these things in order to be more "iPhone-like" and therefore more marketable. So if there is only one version of the V20, it's going to look a whole lot like the G6, sealed case and all. Personally, I think it's worth their while to make two versions of the V20 and continue catering to both consumer groups. But you are likely 100% right. The removable battery phones from LG are dead and gone starting now.
I just love it. The idea of getting the second screen at the bottom and have it serve different functions depending on the apps you're using is brilliant. But it probably wont happen and my V20 will be safe for another year.lol
Kinda like new mac pro touch bar.
I think having second screen at the bottom would be more in the way than would be useful for me. Top bar is a bit out of reach at times but I don't accidentally hit it either.
Yes I completely understand that but that would be the magic in making it work. Just imagine if they could pull that off and it worked 100%. That would be just an amazing stand out feature.
Hopefully it the ratio from g6
