This is the part where LG should be marketing the removable battery feature on the V20 as a plus as opposed to having sealed ones. They could indirectly poke a little fun at Samsung for their explosive Note 7. But since they haven't I will do one of my own and tag them in it. They can do one of those funny and unbelievable style infomercials where someone's Note 7 explodes (of course the person barely escapes) and come in with the question "Has your phone exploded due to a faulty battery?" That would be hilarious.
 
While the idea is funny, just because the battery is removable does not make it immune to the same problems. The battery technology is the same, it's just connected slightly differently. Yes, having it removable makes for an easier recall, but Note 7's with the same batteries just in removable form factor would have had the same problems.

Yes but it hasn't happened to them so they should have a little fun with it.

But soooo much easier to id bad battery and exchange. Bad batteries from Korea and Vietnam? Open the back. Look at battery. From China? Fine. From Korea? Go to VZW, pop out battery, pop in new one done.

It's funny because ime Lithium ion batteries are much better from Japan than China but Samsung may be using lithium poly. I don't know

In the flashlight world lithium ion batteries from China are thought of as very poor quality at best and dangerously so at worst.
 
I don't think they would go down that road. While for marketing it could be a funny jab it would look bad on a company mocking people who may have experienced a real problem that could hurt them.
 
Yes true. Samsung haters are doing it anyway. No need for LG to do it too. But it would be funny.
 
Not to mention another campaign they could quickly launch... has your phone ever worked fine for 5 months and then randomly gets stuck into a reboot mode? Multiple times?

LMBO ouch. Too soon.
 
Early reviews are showing the battery life of the V20 is not that great, maybe requiring you to tote around a backup battery. Not exactly a great selling point if you ask me.
 
"In this world of fragile, unreliable technology, which would you rather have: A phone that can burst into flames with no way to remove the problematic component, or one that simply reboots constantly without risking physical harm?

LG - Life's Good. Keep yours."

 
I really hope the boot loop issue is resolved or the V20 would unfortunately be my last LG device.

I heard it was at least better than the V10 so I'll take it.
