Got to play with a V20. Any Questions?

You know, if LG were more competent with releases, all the hubs bubba in the thread would not be happening. I guess...

In terms of the speaker, probably about the same as the G5. In terms of using headphones, better than the G5.

I don't know if I'm the only one that has this problem, but on my G5 the speaker is quite loud and clear when playing music or watching videos. But the speaker is way too quiet while on a phone call on speaker phone unless I'm in a quiet environment. I use speaker phone while driving and the ambient noise from driving washes out the sound of phone calls, even with the windows up. Listening to music through the speaker while driving is amazingly loud and clear, though. Did the V10 have this issue? I hope it doesn't happen with the V20 because the speaker weakness on phone calls is the prime reason I'm going to switch to the V20.

I perceive a difference on mine but not so great that I can't hear it

Also, here are some pictures I took when our rep came back in. The photo of the cameras is the V20 wide angle, vs the iPhone 7 plus. V20's wide angle looked amazing.

What're just some general thoughts you had about the phone for the time you played with it?

General thoughts where how quick it was. The screen was brighter, and looked better than my HTC 10 as well. I got to use the camera, and help up next to the 7 plus it was spectacular. After holding it again, I still say I really like how it feels. Very easy to hold even being all metal. My rep also explained it the phone wouldn't be launched until Nougat is out. So around the 22.

How's the recording function? Specs claim greater dynamic range; I'm a musician, and this really interests me....

Did the metal back feel cheap like the G5? How did the buttons feel? Probably can't answer this, but did you notice quick battery drain?

Umm...isn't Nougat already out?

Does the back feel as slippery as the back of the HTC 10? Would love to not have to use a case on this like I have to with most phones because they're so slippery.

I think he meant on out as in out on the pixel devices.

Buttons felt good, they didn't feel loose and cheap like the G5 did. When you pushed the button on the back in it didn't wiggle around nearly as much as a G5 did. Didn't notice any crazy battery drain, but I also wasnt looking for any.

Not at all. My HTC 10 is my daily driver and the V20 felt great. It has a thickness to it that makes it feel great in the hand.
