It has got high-end specification and it is successor to the last year’s V10. Like it’s predecessor, V20 retains the dual-camera setup and a secondary display and has got some additional new features too.

The rear camera optics include 16MP rear camera with f/1.8, OIS, EIS, laser auto-focus, LED flash and a secondary wide-angle 8MP camera with f/2.4 with 135 degree field of view, fixed-focus.

It has got an aluminium shock resistance body although it’s not an uni-body design. The back metal cover is removable where sits a removable 3,200mAh battery and supports QuickCharge 3.0 as well.It has also got an IR blaster, USB Type-C and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor which also doubles as a home and power key button.

It runs on the latest Android Nougat (7.0) OS with LG’s UX 5.0+ on top. V20 features a 32-bit Hi-Fi quad DAC (Digital-to-analog converter) technology from audio firm ESS which enhances the listening experience. Although unlike LG V10, LG dropped the modular concept with V20.

This phone packs high-end specification and comes with an interesting display and camera setup. Interestingly, it is also a rare high-end device which comes with removable back cover and battery. Overall phones looks great on paper but we have to wait to see the real life performance and the pricing.
