For the price, V20 is not worth it.

T mobile, and I'm including taxes.

I only paid $529 on tmobile for it.

I think there are two distinctly different things being discussed here...

Is something a good deal?

Is something the best deal currently available?

One is somewhat subjective and based on things that you've had before or things that you seen before.

The second, is based on something thing a bit simpler... What is currently available at the time...

Personally in my obviously subjective opinion...

The LG v20 is not worth $800. I paid $672 at Verizon still not feeling it.

However, the LG v20 is the best deal currently going that I have been able to find. And I'm going to hang on to the phone for that reason.

None of top tier phones are worth the price but we buy them anyway.

And that's the point I'm making... Whether they are worth it or not is subjective, and up to the individual... Whether or not a particular price for a particular phone is the best deal going is a little more tangible and concrete.

But in my subjective opinion? Yes! I agree with you totally! I do not believe any of them are worth it

The software does not lag, keyboard works fine, battery life is good and screen is excellent....next?

x2. Battery life is noticeably better than my LG G3 and G4, using Swiftkey but really thought the stock keyboard was great, screen looks fantastic, and no lag.

 

[tadpoles]

Considering that these are pocketable computers that we happen to be able to make voice calls on as well and access the Internet and use as a GPS mapping tool and camera...and gaming device.... I tend to think they may be worth a bit more than some are giving them credit for. Not $1000+ IMO but > $600? Yes, to me.

They're still called phones but I feel like that's for lack of a better descriptor. Palmtop sounds a little weird. Voice calling is definitely a tertiary function of these devices for me. ...a flip phone could do that.

Verizon got rid of the FM radio for data reasons. They want you using data. The Samsung's had FM removed too, but got updated after complaints. Samsung updated on own to activate the radios.

AT&T price is nuts high.

 

[Jeremiah Bonds]

My laptop with less battery life, way less mobile, worse front facing camera cost way more than what I paid for the v20

No kidding. My iPad Pro cost way more, and I still think that was worth it.

If you "buy them anyway" you are admitting that they are worth the price. That's how market pricing works.

Former Note 7 user.

I just don't get it. $830 and it's not even water resistant. It's an LCD screen! The battery doesn't last as long as it IDEALLY should for a phablet. The camera is good, but not great. The keyboard is a nightmare to use.

I've owned Samsungs, HTC's, and nearly every brand in between. I bought this phone after reading and watching reviews, and I remained skeptical. I bought it because I thought it would be something that would grow on me. I went to the Note 7 forum and noticed a lot of former users jumped on the V20 wagon.

I don't get it. What is everyone seeing in this phone that I don't? If this thing were maybe in the $600's, I'd say that's a solid deal. But this thing is being marketed and sold as an $830 device, and it certainly doesn't feel like one to me.

I went from Note7 to V10 to Note7 to V20..... to an S7 Edge. Very happy now.

 

[jabtano]

I came from a S6 edge plus. I'm on T-MO and this device is blazing fast. somethings that never ran right on my edge plus like swiftkey it would lag when typing not on the V20. Battery life is amazing from where I stand I could never get a full day at work out of the edge plus. But with the V20 I do with room to spare., and I've not changed in how I use my phone. I was a little apprehensive in buying this device as I never owned an LG before. But after a little more than a week, I'm really starting to enjoy it more than I did the edge plus.

 

[LGman072]

Lol and Verizon has that high bill every month too makes you wonder why you pick them too

Sometimes you get what you pay for. You want the best network, then you can't expect the cheapest plans on the market.

 

[LGman072]

Verizon has the phone priced at $672. You should be more angry at yourself for choosing a provider like T Mobile.

Exactly. A LOT cheaper than the $865 Note 7 on Verizon. Almost $200 cheaper. With the same processor, RAM, expandable memory, USB type C, same screen size (even if it's not AMOLED). Fast Charging, removable battery, and vastly superior audio with the Quad DAC.

And seriously? Some people complaining about a stock keyboard? Get SwiftKey like you should have to begin with. Smh...

 

[soldier45]

Agree that's why I went back with a S7 edge after turning in my Note 7. I would miss the water resistance and wireless charging too much with the V20 as nice as it is. Plus the screen doesn't impress me. Waiting to see what the S8 brings to the table in March.

 

[TheMarcus]

No phone is worth $800+ and I'd be reluctant to spend $700+ on any phone when there are comparable phones priced in the $400-$500 range. However, with a list price of $672 at Verizon, plus $200 for trading in my G3 for me and $300 for trading in my girlfriend's G4 for her, the price was right. I wouldn't have bought this had it not been for that trade in promotion. I was super close to buying the Moto Z Play. Super close.

 

[LGman072]

Thank you for the awesome laugh X1tymez!

I always feel like this when i see people purchasing $700+ devices.
A $399 device will more than satisfy most peoples needs

If you're just looking to satisfy the basic needs, then fine. Good for you if you're happy with a $400 smartphone. Some us find the bonus features and specs worth the extra $$. Point is, what may be waste to you or others, is only a waste to someone else if they don't think they got proper value and performance for their extra money. I think I got GREAT value for my $672 v20 on Verizon. And honestly, would feel the same even if it was as much as the AT&T version. It's taken me some time to conclude that, but I am very happy right now. So, to me, what I spent was not a waste. Even if it's not quite as premium feeling as my Note 7

Coming from the note 7 myself i can see how some might feel like the v20 isnt worth the price. After all Sammy spoiled us. We got headphones, adapters, free watches, free vr headsets. And lg just gave us the bare minimum.

But the phone itself is really nice. The screen looks great. The 2nd screen I LOVE moreso then the edge on note 7. Lg lets you customise everything which is always cool. I hate that im missing none google applications like gallery and calendar. Found a way around that. Never liked the glass backs too slippery to hold. The finger print sensor is actually reallly good. Works faster on the lg then it did on the note7. Lg did a pretty good job. They could've done better. I think had the note7 succeded the v20 might've been cheaper. But they got sammy "sloppy seconds" lol. And maybe took advantage of a higher price?
I got the $200 bestbuy promo so used it towards the phone.

 

[Mooncatt]

Who is paying full list price for the phone anyway? Most everyone is getting some sort of trade in credit and the headphones. XD

Did you make it in time for the free headphones promotion?
