so since all carriers are accepting the return of the note 7 Is the V20 the clear choice?

Re: so since all carriers are accepting the return of the note 7....

They are the same size, but the best way to understand the "better screen" bit is to go to a carrier store and look at a Samsung AMOLED screen stacked up against anything else. Some people don't care for the oversaturation, but that can be toned down in software, and quite a lot of people do like a bold, bright screen that really pops, even in full daylight.

Admittedly, burn-in is still a factor in the long term, so in a couple of years an LED screen will still be looking nice while AMOLED will have lost some of its brightness and may show some burn-in artifacts... but on the showroom floor and for the first couple of years, it's really hard to compete with Samsung's AMOLED panels.

If you dislike the oversaturation and need to tone it done down, why get it?
 
I was considering the N7 as my next phone. The V20 is my second (now first) choice. Samsung is giving LG a lot of business...
 
I'm taking a peek at this one too. I wasn't really following the LG line (I had a G4 - enough said) and didn't care for the buttons on the back. But I see this one has them on the side....specs are good and a removable battery. May go to the top of the list - just need Verizon to shed some light on availability.

I can't believe Verizon is dead last in releasing Intel on this phone. Must have cut a deal with Google....dirty bastards.
 
I checked out a real V20 today at AT&T store, and man I am really impressed. It was very snappy and fast. Super responsive. Even with a single speaker it gets very loud. Clarity of the screen is fine for anyones needs. It;s definitely the V20 or the IP7+ for me. Leaning more towards the V20. I really need to know how the battery life is on it before I decide.

I think these will be my choice as well.

ditto. For the whole package that is this phone, it seems like the best option for me. I'd been considering the Pixel, but A.) I don't like the iPhone clone design, and B.) feel like I'd have to wait a month or two for the Pixel even if i did try to preorder one.

The iPhone is also backordered by one month. LG maybe easier to get in your hands. I just wish I can come up with a good reason to pick the one or the other....as I can't decide.
 
Wish the V20 had hardware display scaling like the Note 7. This would help battery life immensely with any GPU heavy app. Chrome, most games and Maps are a few examples that would benefit.
The V20 does better with games than the note 7 in quad hd mode according to reviews....

I've got 2 7 plus 256 gigs. Just trying to decide which color I'm keeping. May list one in the next few days.
 
Man you are lucky to get those. Everyone is out in my town. :/

He is not that lucky...all that memory and no file manager...I will love using my lg v20 with a 256 gb microsd card thanks to Samsung and 64 gb 3DNAND already included and a real file manager..........

I still wonder if I will get my SD card from Samsung. I was approved a week ago and it says it's in shipment but no tracking.

Hmm....pixel or v20...

You probably will....once it's sent and validated it's usually a done deal. I got extra freebies from LG because i returned a defective product and submitted a promo for the second one.
 
YOU'RE missing the point. Nobody cares about a simple video streaming stress test that validates exactly one thing: what everyone expects out of the battery based purely on its power specifications, and how it will rank among other phones with differing battery power.

As Irvine pointed out, that's not how people use the phone--and the OS does have optimizations built into it for how people actually use the phone. Therefore, to talk about the battery and how well it behaves in real life depends on a body of knowledge from real-life users doing real-life things.

And that means getting the phone out there to see how that 3200mah battery behaves in the real world, in real-life situations, inside that optimized operating system. Not simply streaming video. We don't need that test; we already know it's a 3200mah battery, and we know how well it will perform in a streaming video test against, say, a 4000mah battery.

Now, if your real life personal behavior with the phone is to stream video while it's not plugged in, then fine. But that's not what the world does.

And by the way, it's very commonplace nowadays to carry around not only a charger but also an external battery pack. LG gives you another option, that of carrying around one or more charged batteries and swapping them out as needed. Choices are good. Absent a swappable battery, your choices are more limited.

No, I'm not. The purpose of the test is to highlight display battery consumption compared to other devices without app use bias. It is half the Note 7 and iPhone Plus. The Note 7 due to amoled and the Plus due to 1080p. 1440p LCD is a battery drainer.
