When will this hit stores?

 

[erwaso]

Dunno. Didn't the G5 go up for sale right after the announcement that day?

My guess is towards end of September. iPhone is launching in couple of weeks so most carriers will be busy managing the iPhone launch. And we know iPhone is important for every carrier and is the phone which sells in huge numbers.
My guess is V20 will launch the week after iPhone launch at the earliest which would be closer to September end.

I'm hoping you are wrong and that the V20 beats the I7 to the punch.

I love all tech products from any company and being realistic. So speaking realistically we all know that's not going to happen. No fanboy here because I give a damn if Apple, Samsung, LG or some other company does well or not.

The note 7 came out before the Iphone

The note 7 came out before the Iphone

What's that got to do with V20? They announced that a month back for a reason and not a day before iPhone 7 announcement. I don't think LG is going to announce the phone on September 6th and available to purchase from carriers in a day or two. The carriers aren't going to launch any other phone on the same day/week as iPhone is launching.

Anyway we will know Tuesday so you can believe that V20 will launch immediately after announcement and I'll keep my expectations in check. I too hope that V20 launches soon but low probability IMO.

I didn't say I believe it launch immediately..... I hope it does because I want it. I don't actually care if Iphone releases first but it might be good for LG for those customers on the fence and those that are returning their Note 7s for something different.

That would be me. I am debating if I should stick with the Note 7 or switch to the V20. I guess will make my decision Tuesday.

When will this hit stores?

This phone won't launch before October. The nexus phones will be out first.

Google phones are rumored to be announced on Oct 4th. Even if they release it quick after that it'll be sometime middle of October. V20 will be released before the new Google phones, Google even mentioned in the Nougat announcement press release saying V20 will be the first phone to ship with Nougat out of the box.

I think this will come out before the new Nexus phones. Probably looking at a mid-to end of September release.

There were several reports recently that the Google phones will ship worldwide before the V20

Never seen a single report or rumor like that from the usual reputable sources. Also, I believe the official press release from Google and LG over the reports you say that no one knows.

Agreed......it has already been officially announced that the V10 will be the first phone to ship with Nougat. So the only way Google could release their phones first would be with Marshmallow and that make no sense.

I thought that Google and LG both announced that the V20 would be the first phone to ship with Nougat on board? Operative word being shipped. I realize that current Nexus phones can already run Nougat.

Unless it comes from Android Police, Android Central or the usual leakers like Evan Blass etc not going to take it serious. Also it's moot point when the two main companies involved LG and Google have put out press release saying V20 will be the first to be released with Nougat. Anyway, not arguing any more over this since there's nothing to discuss here.

It's crazy to know that people believe these bogus reports over the companies press release who are making the respective phones..smh

The V20 will be the first phone released with Nougat out of the box.

Current Google Nexus phones will get Nougat as an update before the V20 launches.
