My Only Hesitation is Battery Life

I loved my v10 until the update. Then I was swapping batteries 3 times a day and I was not using battery consuming apps. I even used a bookmark for Facebook instead of the battery hog FB app
This video was just posted with a hands on with the v20. He used it for the day and he was impressed with the battery life.

Frankly, I would take a 30% hit on battery life if a replaceable battery. Sealed batteries in the event of a problem leave you with no options besides replacing the phone. My Note 4 as example is a fantastic backup called back into action due to Marshmallow update and the ability to put a new battery in it after two years. Win IMO.
Will gladly use my Note 4 and see what you all think of the V20
First need to wait a few weeks though until the new device pixie dust wears off of the V20 feedback

Yes, listening to the observations of device owners is also a good course of action.
Right now battery + cradle is $60 on Amazon. I think I saw it for $50 on eBay.

It's fulfilled by Amazon so I'd say it's pretty safe. Protected by Amazon if by some chance there's an issue.
No way I know of to id a counterfeit. They're really good at it. Is Amazon the dealer or is it a private dealer fulfilled by Amazon? Big dif ime. I would only buy spare batteries from LG.
Fulfilled by Amazon. The seller has 4.9 stars, over 99% positive feedback with over 1100 ratings. I'd say pretty safe.
I won't be buying just yet because I think the price is to high. I'll wait for it to drop.
Yes that does sound like a good dealer. I would buy from LG.. Obviously we're all different.
FWIW, gsmarena pegs the battery life "endurance rating" for the V20 at 63 hours vs 87 hours for the S7 Edge.
Yeah, no real surprise though. The Edge has a smaller screen and a larger battery.
It may had been. Of course, no one has final production of phone yet. Guess we'll know next week.
