LG V20 Smartphones to Arrive Oct. 28 at AT&T, T-Mobile
The LG V20, a 4G LTE smartphone with a 5.7-inch display, a 2.05-inch always-on secondary display and a quad-core processor, has dual rear-facing cameras and a single front-facing camera.
The LG V20 Flagship Smartphone
The V20, priced at $829.99 from AT&T, is a 4G LTE handset featuring a 5.7-inch quad HD In-Plane Switching main touch-screen display (1,440 x 2,560 resolution) and a 2.05-inch always-on secondary display (160 x 1,040 resolution) for easily checking texts and other activities with a quick glance. Both displays are covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for durability.
Runs Android Nougat 7.0
The LG V20 includes a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of memory, 64GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot for additional storage. The V20 is also the first smartphone that will be preloaded and ship with the latest Android 7.0 Nougat operating system, according to LG. Android Nougat incorporates improvements such as split-window multitasking, streamlined notifications and improved battery life.
Two Rear-Facing Cameras Included
The handset also includes a primary 16-megapixel rear-facing main camera with an f/1.8 adjustable lens, OIS 2.0 optical image stabilization, laser autofocus and LED flash as well as a secondary 8-megapixel rear camera with a f/2.4 135-degree wide-angle lens. Also featured is 8x digital zoom, Hi-Fi video recording, 4K video capabilities and Steady Record 2.0 image stabilization when shooting video, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with an f/1.9 wide-angle lens and built-in selfie flash.
HD Audio Recording, Quad Digital Audio Converters
Built in to the LG V20 is an HD audio recorder and quad digital analog converters for premium audio recording and playback. The handset—which is 6.28 inches long, 3.07 inches wide and 0.30 inches thick and weighs 6.14 ounces—replaces LG’s previous flagship phone, the V10, which debuted in October 2015.
Rugged Build Quality Meets MIL-STD-810G
The phone is also built to be durable, with a rear cover made from the same AL 6013 aluminum that’s used in airplanes, and top and bottom surfaces that are covered in silicone polycarbonate, which is used to reduce shock in helmets and airbags, according to LG. The V20 also meets military MIL-STD-810G requirements for drops on concrete and other hard surfaces.
Includes WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC Connectivity Options
The handset, which is a quad-band world phone, also includes a 3,200mAh removable battery and can be used for HD voice calls or WiFi calling. The phone features 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WiFi, Near Field Communication (NFC) and Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity options and can be used as a mobile hotspot for up to eight devices. A USB-C port and a USB adapter are also included.
