LG V20

In case you missed it, LG’s V20 went on sale yesterday in JB HiFi stores around Australia. We’d initially missed yesterday’s date, with other things going on, but with LG hitting the social media airwaves this morning, we were quickly reminded.

If you’re interested in a top-flight Android handset that is getting rave reviews overseas, the LG V20 might very well be worth your looking at. With some of the popular features of the LG G5 — including dual-lens camera with wide angle — the LG V20 features a dual-screen (ticker display) and it launches with Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, one of the very first smartphones to do so.

Like the V10 before it, LG has again included a secondary display on the phone with a 160 x 1040 resolution screen sitting just above the main 5.7″ QHD display. The phone also includes a Snapdragon 820 SoC, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage and for those who like a removable battery, you can swap the 3200mAh out as you please.
