AC Review Coming? (Update: It is here!)

[ggendel]

I don't know, between the camera and the audio, this would be a great concert phone. My son uses a Shure add-on to his iPhone to get good concert recordings. One less thing to carry around is a real plus. Of course, I'd love to see some reviews that talk about phone quality. This is still a phone, right? I think people would have like to know how the modem performance is compared to other phones. It's one of the reasons I went with Blackberry in the past. Their patents on Paratek antennas give these an edge on the competition. For example, recent testing showed that the iPhone 7 with the Qualcom modem (Verizon model) is 30% better than the one with the Intel modem.

review seems negative to me, I just ordered mine yesterday, now it has me thinking maybe I should have got the Z Force, but it didn't get a glowing review from AC either.

However, I will say (as I said in the comments), i am so tired of reading about a big phone being too big.

I'm starting to find that reviews can have the same negative psychological effect as social media does for some people. When I initially read about the Note 7, in the month or so up to it, I became convinced that it was the worst phone to ever be released and it was identical to the Note 5. Turns out that thought all went up in smoke (sorry, had to). That aside, it turned out to be one of the best and most liked phones. So basically, I think it's better to focus on your own perspective of a phone.

well i got it last night. I do LOVE the screen size. It seems gigantic compared to my S7 Edge and I love that. Reminds me of my old Nexus 6.

I had the V10 before the S7 Edge, and now i find i really prefer the Finger Print on front instead of the back. That is probably my biggest complaint. That and the (admittedly sparse) reports of the camera lens cracking has me thinking I need to baby it

I prefer the fingerprint scanner on the front but am okay with it on the back. TBH, I use a pattern to unlock my phone most of the time because it's just easier for mwa.

The V20 will be enough to get me by until next Summer for something better. Refused to go with the Pixel or Iphone or S7 edge. So I can deal with the V20 just hope they come out with a wireless charging back cover I think I will miss that the most from my N7 having wireless chargers around the house.

Well a lot of negativity in that review sounds bias to me.

Comments about a phone being boring looking are silly imo. Tell me about speed, functionality, battery life, camera in real life use. I'll decide if it is pretty or not. I think the s7e is the prettiest phone ever built but the curved edges have no real purpose and make the phone more delicate just as tye second screen serves no purpose and merely makes a big phone huge. It's a shame LG and Samsung think they need a gimmick. Just make it faster and smoother with better specs and more memory (both kinds) and smaller bezels. I hate the huge pixel bezels even more than I hate the V20 second screen but the curved edges Samsung loves are worst of all because they make the phone more fragile.

At least my negativity is about substantial problems not just looks.

The moto suffers from fewer of these issues but the camera isn't good enough and I like ir blaster and removable battery and 64gb+ of ram.

I think the v20 is the lesser of current evils but I would really love v20 specs and features (no second screen though) in the LG Stylus.
