Might need to be more careful around water with V20- Might

[rushmore]

The V20 demo was indirectly exposed to moisture that caused the display to stop working- even after trying to use a desiccant to dry it out. In a pod cast (about 4/5 through the cast). Might want to be a little more careful with the V20 and water. My Note 4 has been exposed to moisture and do not see issues with the V10. Perhaps a demo issue or a fluke, but better safe than sorry.

No, not baiting. It just struck me as odd by the way he describes it. The dude on the cast is a media contributor for devices. He liked the device BTW, up until it died. Maybe the cover was not locked down. Would not expect it to be too easy for water to creep in none the less if was locked down.

How can your windbreaker be "just damp" and the inside of phone be "just soaked"??? I declare shenanigans. I live in SoCal so no worries here anyway!..........

Water vulnerability is the trade off for the removable battery.

I said the samething lol!! I can't wait for the final version of the phone to come out!

Probably a fluke. His point though is the water was in there pretty good.

Yeah I don't plan on getting it wet since it doesn't have the IP rating like the Galaxy phones / Note phones.

Maybe you should enlighten him to these............

A fluke should love water

if I get this phone coming from the Note 4,I'll be buying an otterbox defender case

Looking forward to your feedback. At this point not seeing the value overall verses the Note 4 that I'm going back to because of the Note 7.

Note 4 has replaceable battery

IR blaster too

Better display than V20

Better battery life than V20

Water and dust resistance

$890 cheaper than V20 (if already have one)

The combination IMO does not weight to the V20's favor. Unless a big audiophile that listens to high bitrate tunes with higher ohm headphones.

Note 4 has much worse camera, much slower processor and gpu, does not have 4 gb ddr 4 ram, does not have 3D NAND, old school quad hd screen and the display is not better since the note 4 has samsungs first edition of quad hd amoled which had worst color inaccuracies, much worse camera, does not come with nougat...there is nothing here in favor of the note 4....you should read lg v20 reviews....

Would not define as much or worse. Note 4 seems fast enough, 3gb ram vs 4gb is dubious, ram speed seems more a bench mark thing, Note 4 takes good day light pics, the display has better contrast and colors depend on settings used, and Nougat is not much of a savior- just like Marshmallow wasn't. Note 4's recent updates make it oddly better now, but still not sure if placebo...

Not seeing $890 of benefit. Battery life is important too.

Your main point though is still spot on. Got to test and see more reviews, but still not bridging $890. Easier to perhaps bridge if V10 pricing.

Hell I think my Note 3 is still an excellent phone!
