I had to go to Best buy this past weekend to get my wife a new laptop, and decided to take a look at the new phones out.
$1200 for a new Note... Are you frigging kidding me
The rest of the the trip there was dealing with the laptop but everything I looked at was so expensive and boring...
I don't get it either. I mean the prices they are asking is just totally nuts.
Don't get me wrong, the new note has a beautiful screen as do the new iPhones but when you can buy a top of the line laptop for less, something is definitely not right here.
I think LG needs to rethink the v line and really come back out with a true v20 replacement with a removable battery. They could do a carbon fiber back like the new Poco phone, a top end camera, a bigger removable battery, better amps and dac, and true front facing stereo speakers, and a headphone jack, Amoled screen and still be cheaper than the other guys, even with the latest processors and ram in them.
In this day of crazy prices for these glass backed sealed phones, having my v20 is awesome. Sure I am missing out on some things I suppose, but I am happy that I don't have to go broke trying to keep up with the rat race for now.
I know that LG won't go back to the removable battery, but IMHO they are making a huge mistake by not doing so. As good as the other phones are, they don't really compete with the the v20 on several fronts....not at the end of the day. The real nemesis of any phone is the battery and being able to swap out the batteries for a freshly charged one in seconds still rules Supreme.
LG was the leader in this and for whatever reason they refused to capitalize on it.
I am hoping that someone who works there will realize that the vast majority of people don't want to spend $1000 - $1200 on a cell phone irregardless of the opinions of the tech writers.
I would be willing to spend 1k if they upgraded my v20 and kept the removable battery though, then I would know they wanted to keep my business by giving me a phone that I wasn't tethered to a power cord.
My v20 is still awesome and going strong and I would be willing to upgrade it every 2 years for something truly better, but I can honestly say that there really isn't anything truly better that's going to make my life easier and that's what technology is supposed to do for us... Not just cost us more for less...
