What do you think of LG V20?

[JD 96]

Just something that's been on my mind lately.

I'm intrigued by it, and definitely want to see it when it comes out. I liked the V10 a lot, but the poor battery life was just too hard to deal with even with the free extra battery and carriage it came with.

Not too sure about the whole modules, or 'friends' idea, but we'll see. IMHO LG took a chance like they do a lot, and the G5 suffered because of it. I like that they keep thinking out of the box, but they are not always going to get it right. But when they do, it's pretty incredible.

I don't think LG is going to go the module route with the V20...they've learned from the G5. I think we're looking at a phone that will have a removable back & battery + sd card slot.

I was excited by this phone initially. But now I wonder why they would make it with a quad core CPU after its predecessor, the V10, was made with a hexacore CPU. Sounds like a step backwards to me.

As someone else already stated in another thread, the CPU the V20 will be using has 2 less cores than the V10 but each core is much more powerful than the V10. Overall, performance will be better on the V20 than the V10.

i think i need a new phone to replace my bricked G4 and the G3 i went back to. I'm looking at the GS7 and the G5 but i really want the 5.5 or above screen size. Hoping the price of the V20 is reasonable on AT&T.

My G4 bricked as well :'( ..... I'd be a little hesitant in getting another LG device moving forward. They need better QC.

True. I'm going to start doing Att next every year. Always within warranty that way, like my leased cars lol

I'm interested mostly because I want a phone with a removable battery, even more so after the debacle with the Note 7. I'm still using a Note 4 and will hold onto it as long as possible unless the V20 comes with a removable battery and gets good reviews.

I'm definitely biting at the bit to see what it's like! I love my LG G3 and love the appeal of the V10; and so I have high hopes for the V20. If I like it, I may hold out for it and buy it in another year or ten months when my contract is closer to being up. It's one of the few phones I'm actively keeping an eye on.

The phone isn't out yet, so I can't really comment on my thoughts.

Based on rumors, though, I think it might be a solid device that will appeal to a specific group of consumers, especially those who are serious about audio and still want a removable battery.

I'm still skeptical on LG's quality control at this point, but I do hope that they have improved it, especially since there's a Program Management Office.

It's likely not going to make me switch from the Note7 (even though it's currently on a battery recall), though that's no fault of the phone itself. It might not be what I'm looking for in a phone but that doesn't mean it's not what you're looking for in a phone. If you want a big phone with great headphone audio and a replaceable battery, I think the V20 might be suitable for you.

Buy what you want.

Very happy with my V10. The only phone I would even consider upgrading to would be the V20... but realistically not at the kinds of prices were talking about. Maybe if Verizon offered some kind of trade-in deal on my V10, I might give it some consideration.

I would like to see the V20 go all out wifi on Verizon. I want to force EVERYTHING through wifi data. I know this is more of a carrier restriction, but my only real complaint has been that I can't force voice calls, voice mail downloads and text message pics through my wifi. It has wifi calling but its not a manual thing, and ANY hint of a cellular signal turns off wifi calling... no matter how unreliable the cell signal.

I'm hoping Verizon will do another $300 trade in credit promotion or something similar. I have the G4, which still qualified for the full $300 on the Note 7 release.

Well for some reason i still feel like it's gonna have a 3000 mah battery.

For phone calls you can turn on airplane mode and enable WIFI

I hope not. The 3500mAh battery in my Note 7 was barely adequate.

oh well latest i've seen is 3200 and that's after i said 3000 so this just confirms my doubts that they could never shove a 4000 mah removable battery at less than half the phone's body.

If the entire back is removable (I.e. Two halves, with only one half removed in the renders), then I'm guessing we'll start seeing extended batteries available. So for me, the OEM capacity may not even be an issue. That could also mean new custom backs that are one piece.

I'm just speculating, of course.

I doubt the whole back is removable. The other side houses the circuitry.

 

[Mohamed Ahmed12]

besides if the whole back is removable there's no point in making each half removable i guess?
