The LGV20 is an incredible phone!

[SupraLB]

I'm so glad LG doesn't have physical buttons. Haha.

Same here, I would really hate this phone if it had physical buttons. This ain't 2009.

After a few weeks with the V20, I am quite happy with it overall. Incredibly smooth, battery life is wonderful, love the wide angle lens.
I would say the weakest part of the phone is the camera software. I believe it needs some tweaking overall, but I still love the camera. I had a preorder for the Pixel XL and canceled it.(I have played with it a few times and its nice, but not worth replacing the V20 for.)
The only thing I miss about the note 7 is the camera which is still a little better. I don't miss the lag at all.

I was surprised there was no deal offered at vzw this weekend. Do these things ever go on sale? Free headphones wasn't a selling point for me and now they're even gone.

Too bad you're not a Sprint customer. Buy one this weekend and you get a free 43" 4K TV from LG.

There was a deal, I went there myself to surprise my dad with a new phone by trading in the droid turbo 2 for the moto z force droid. The LG V20 is $200 for 24 months if you trade in an eligible smartphone for it.

The deal goes until the end of the day tomorrow.

I have nothing to trade so I meant a straight out deal for v20

I'm actually using the V20 more than my older S6 edge plus. The v20 dose not have the looks but it kills the edge plus everywhere else

Re: Am I missing something?

Yeah, I'm super happy with this phone. Best smart phone I've ever had. I was going to hold out randomly trade my S7E for the S8E but read such good things about this phone and decided to take the plunge. I miss a few things about Samsung but I sure don't miss the lag fest called TouchWiz. This phone is amazing. I'm sure the S8 will have better specs but it will still have TouchWiz and lag.

I just got mine a couoke of days ago. For me the looks kill it. I love the design of the phone myself. Feels great too. So far the phone flies. Battery life has been so so. But overall the phone has been awesome.

Very happy with the phone and the camera has been fantastic for me at least so far.

So, I'm having an existential crisis with my Note 4. Everyone's happy here? Because I really have no confidence the Note 8 will resume with removable batteries and it may be 9 months away, too.

How's Nougat?

Re: Am I missing something?

Gotta say. I came from a Galaxy S5. First week impressions have been good. The only glitch I had was couldn't use internet when on phone. But I found the work around to fix it. Great phone so far IMO.

May I ask what your workaround is? I have the same problem...

Yes, I am very happy. I was thinking like you about waiting for the S8 or Note 8. The wide angle is very important to me. Samsung is rumoured to have a dual camera. IMO it will be tele rather than wide angle because the majority prefers tele to wide. Also Samsung camera delivers too saturated photos. V20's are more natural.

Also I don't like the curved edge. 5.7 inches flat display is very nice.
Don't know if it is due to Nougat, but the V20 is very smooth. No lag at all.

I was quite concerned about the V20 camera in auto mode. I find it very good, much better than what is shown in most reviews. Keep HDR on in auto mode and I think it is better than the Pixel.
With some practice, the camera in manual mode is very easy to use. In low light, auto mode will automatically shoot at iso 800. With manual mode you can shoot at iso 200 & still get noise free images if you have steady hands.

Tadpole said she was VERY VERY VERY happy with the V20. On the third 'VERY' I decided to get one

Finally the V20 arrived in my country on December 01 but was sold off 2 weeks after. Got one from the second batch at a promotional price with 200 GB SD card as gift.

Yes, it is usually the third "very" that seals the deal. Well, I bought it. I am a little shaken at leaving the Samsung eco system, but from everything I see, this is a great phone that is more likely to do what I want than the Note 8.

Coming from Samsung also, the V20 has not been love at first sight for me. It is rather something that develops with the understanding & use of the camera

a lot of reviews show the v20 camera beating the iphone and the pixel. LG generally has really good cameras in their phones.

love is worth it when you have to fight for it right? lol just kidding.
