Quick two day impression.
First of all, I’m a loyal Samsung Note 7 fan. I was patient through the flames and was disappointed in the cancellation of the product. Looking forward to their new lines.
Now, after switching to LG v20 (debated S7 Edge), I am very satisfied. I am an audio person so the DAC isn’t that impressive but a lot better than the Note 7 or Iphone 6s (previous). Larger screen, didn’t want airport people to confuse N7 with S7. If S7’s started to smoke then what? – Probably all of the same questions that ran through your mind……..
Pro:
I love the dual screen, much better than the always on N7. Here are things that I like:
Removable battery – battery life is not a problem for me easily lasting a day and a half.
B&O headphones are better that the el cheapo’s that comes with others.
3.5 audio jack so I can use my better headphones. I still like my Sony NW-zx100 for audio playback.
Plays FLAC – my entire CD collection is on flac and great to have on a phone when I don’t have my NW-zx100. Copy-paste video and audio to SD or Phone, Back up to SD, etc (easily).
Having the on-off switch on the back makes this phone great because you will never inadvertently turn on the screen. I program two fingers on my left and my index on the right – perfect for me. I use a ring that sticks to my case so use it for watching videos and additional holding support with either hand.
Nougat is good and easily maps my N7 as far as widgets and apps to include the back, home and clear all buttons on the bottom. Maybe not 100% but close enough for me.
Great storage – using 256GB for now.
Having withdrawals with stylus – I bought a pen/ stylus to us with the LGv20. It works fine as I can now use the note capture and swipe, etc with a stylus and write with the ink pen.. You will find a lot of retractable pen/styli – search.
Love the IR-InFared remote control feature – I control my TV/stereo through the phone.
Con:
Not waterproof. Not a big deal breaker for me.
Slightly larger – but appreciate the larger flat screen on v20 and the mini second screen. I also use a Plantronics headset for calls so the phone is usually in my backpack.
No wireless charging.
Smaller battery. Maybe someone will make a 4000mh to fit in the future?
Not too much experience with camera yet...
