Awesome information I've not seen elsewhere! Thank you. I did just order one of these and now I know I made the right choice. Was looking at a Pixel 3 until I checked out the repairability scores.. something that was pointed out in a comment on this phone elsewhere. They said it was the easiest to repair phone they had ever worked on. The battery and the data card mean that this will not become obsolete.
digging this long video. also it seems like the v20 is literally everything I want in a phone. amazing audio, removable battery, beastly specs, and convenience with that second screen. only thing it's missing is a Spen lmao
Just got my V20 a few days ago( upgraded from the V10, which is also a great phone ), it is everything i expected and more. I really like the look and feel, feels like a flagship phone should.
hentaidrifter is the battery life better? how about the brightness in direct sunlight? I also have the V10, and I want to upgrade to the V20 or Pixel XL.
the battery life is much better, at the end of the day i have about 30-50% battery life left. the screen in direct sunlight however, is about the same as the V10's. Those were my two choices as well and i decided to go with the V20. Love that it has a removable battery and sd card. The aluminum body and the finish gives it a premium feel. The Pixel on the other hand, is a good phone too, but seems overpriced and i dont much care for the overall design ( looks very much like an older galaxy or iphone )
Legendary Dark Knight Dante you cant trust ebay, and amazon isnt offering it here, i will wait and see what the G6 will look like since i've got the G4 ^^
Edwin Nava i can confirm you as an ex owner of g4 its ultra shit. suprising the g5 its actually better i get about 5-6 h of screen on time wich is nice.
Great video man. LG v20 doesnt get the love it deserves sometimes. The screen is beautiful and wverything is super fast. As im reviewing this in October 2018 on my v20, the phone had been recently updated to 8.0 and will receive 9.0 soon. You can also get this phone used for around $150.
Iv watched tons of reviews for this phone and I have to say that this is the best one..iv just ordered one on the back of this review for a bargain of €300 as I think this phone will hold its own as we head in to 2018..great review keep up the good work.
yup. checks out with all features. threw on nova launcher with my custom theme and widgets and I'm a happy camper. I love the battery life. the power button took some getting used to, coming from samsung
I only bought the LG V20 because I owned an LG Stylo, and liked LG, but the charging port was so lousy, it wouldn't charge anymore. So I ended up removing the battery and used a wall charger. Then the cheap plastic cover discintegrated. I was hoping to buy a metal cover for about $5. Not only did no one make metal covers, but cell phones become obsolete so quickly, you have to buy a completely new phone. Turns out LG fixed all the problems the Stylo had, and put them into the V20 - push button metal cover, type C charging port, and added a lot more features - dual sim card, fingerprint security, quad stereo speakers, excellent camera. Even looks prettier. Feels more solid too. This phone is a dream!
Good review. Wish you would point out some of those LG only features like the icon customization and keyboard. Not many people realise you can do that stock.
I'm using the v20 as a second phone my daily phone is note 8 I use the v20 mostly as a music device it's incredible for music as long has you use headphones above 50ohm impedance my ear buds of choice is the sound magic e80 and head phone is sennhieser 650 cost of this phone in mint on eBay was 145$ I could not be happier this phone blows away my note 8 for audio and the camera is more useful for me personally using wide angle the 3 microphones as so nice when going to music shows or auto races this phone for the current price is so worth it i do recommend using nova launcher as well as the LG skin does seem a bit heavy
👍 up for a Very Excellent Review on LG V20 Phone I Truly Love all the information you Gave it will help me with my New LG V20 Phone and I will look for your other video on this phone. Also I liked that you made this video extra long it does help to have lot's of info about the item that you are reviewing Thanks for a great review info video Very Good Job a matter of fact it was a Excellent video Thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have had the V20 for about 3 weeks now. I was very impressed with the Note 7 - but, we all know what happened there. My first choice prior to the v20 release was the S7 Edge, but after a couple of weeks, I decided to try the V20 instead when it launched. This LG phone is the perfect replacement for the Note 7 - it does everything as well or better and the UI has all of the customization features that you would have to find in Nova Launcher. I got rid of Nova, no need with this phone. I actually like this phone better than the Note 7, particularly the 2nd screen instead of the "Edge". After using only Samsung Notes (2-7) for years, I am blown away by this phone. Yeah, it's not waterproof, etc. but we never had waterproof phones for years - I don't get my phones wet. If not for the Samsung foul up, I would never have even tried an LG phone. Now, I may never buy a Samsung phone again. Still hard for me to believe. Tim - Great review as usual. BTW what is the name of the Table Tennis app in Google Play Store? thanks.
V20 just added to a pending class-action lawsuit against LG... I've only found a couple of complaints about the V20 boot-looping. I asked Verizon Wireless, they said buy insurance at $9 per month! Great!
Its like a bigger G5 but with better build quality , the combined power on off button/scanner is a nice feature , makes it very easy to pull it out of your pocket , turn it on glance at the screen turn it off and back in the pocket . i have the G5 , but i dont think it is worth forking out for the v20 unless you needed to do yt videos or needed the dac or something , G5 is still a good daily , even with its flaws imo.
😆 it was LG bro! LG had a patent for nock on and nock code for two years b4 allowing others, it was a selling point for LG, knock Code is still one of the SECURITY lock that comes with all LG phone in d 🌎. Including L series.
conghelach the ips display of the v20 is unfortunately not colour accurate. I noticed that photos get warmer when transferring it from my v20 to my xps 15, so the phone has a cooler than normal display
Am in Ghana and my LG v20 gote problem it can't make call again it just fall and that was all I well be Very glad if you can assist me even if i use earphines it doesn't pickn
Tim you will always be my favorite reviewer next to flossy crater, I have a question is the htc 10 still a good phone (as a secondary phone) I am thinking about the htc 10 for its headphone jake.
Good video Tim. I really can't get behind anything lg. Their phones lose value so quick compare to Apple and Samsung if u get bored of them and want to sell
// // Apple is the only brand that has great resale value. I seen many Samsung fanboys force themselves to use the ip7 after the note 7 clown fiesta just for the resale value
JuggaBugga I never owned the v10 lol. But I did have a friend who's had it. Think of the v10 and the g5 put together and LG upping their game. Camera wise it's amazing with the wide angle. The removable battery is great. And I really like the second display. The quad DAC is now something every smartphone I think should have and LG leaned their UX, so it's not as bad.
JuggaBugga Battery has lasted as long as the S7 Edge I had before this, and there has been no lag what so ever. 4GB of ram with the snapdragon 820 is a great combo.
The price is the prohibitive factor on this phone. Too many "mid range" phones out there with awesome specs that make the extra bells and whistles unnecessary, in my opinion.
Maruf Ahmed bullshit minds last all day maybe you need to say off your phone all day. I take mine off the charger at 3pm when I go to work it takes me 30 minutes to get to work. while I'm only way to work I'm listening to Spotify I'm checking messages I'm on facebook etc bout time I get to work my battery is still full. while I'm at work I'll chest so espn scores play some more music on my lunch break. when I get home my battery is still at 60 percent.
Let me know your thoughts if you like the longer review videos! I will consider shortening them if wanted
Tim Schofield I like longer videos
Tim Schofield is it possible to install a stock Android theme?
Tim Schofield Well, I kind of like it, although maybe a little shorter
Tim Schofield I like it, allows for more information, and details. Thank you
Tim These phones need this much time with all the great things they can do. Nice comparable

I like longer review formats for major purchases like a smartphone, so I can see the features in action and so on. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the reply, I think I made my mind, I'll jump on the V20.
Loving my lg v20 what amazing phone. Have my OnePlus 3 and Nexus 6 as my back up phones. But the lg v20 is my daily driver.
Legendary Dark Knight Dante it sucks that it isnt available in europe 😑
ardi du really? Why don't you buy thru amazon or ebay.
Legendary Dark Knight Dante you cant trust ebay, and amazon isnt offering it here, i will wait and see what the G6 will look like since i've got the G4 ^^
ardi du how's the battery life on your G4 not that good on mine
Edwin Nava i can confirm you as an ex owner of g4 its ultra shit. suprising the g5 its actually better i get about 5-6 h of screen on time wich is nice.
I'm loving my LG V20 and doing videos on it. A great power user's phone. Loving the manual camera controls and dat Quad DAC. Good stuff Tim!
it's nice to see at least LG going back to removable batteries. first the g5 and now this. props to them.
Great video man. LG v20 doesnt get the love it deserves sometimes. The screen is beautiful and wverything is super fast. As im reviewing this in October 2018 on my v20, the phone had been recently updated to 8.0 and will receive 9.0 soon. You can also get this phone used for around $150.
Best LG V20 review.
i'm getting one in 2019. a few days to be exact. cant wait.
I'm buying a second V20
I'm having my 2nd LG V20 fixed for 185 I know it's a lot of money cheaper to buy one on offer up
I love the longer detailed reviews
Great review informative. I am o.k. with the longer time, you covered a lot of features of the V20.
Iv watched tons of reviews for this phone and I have to say that this is the best one..iv just ordered one on the back of this review for a bargain of €300 as I think this phone will hold its own as we head in to 2018..great review keep up the good work.
Spectacular Review as always TScho!
"all of those features that you look in a smartphone device" were never found again since 2016. That's why I'm still rocking my lg v20 ;)
Me too
Great review... that wide angle pic at the stadium is awesome!
i really like your reviews, very detailed, in deep. That's how the reviewers should go. Keep it up, i hope you review Xperia XZ.
Exactly, that's why i see he's videos
Great review
Great video Tim, good job
Great Review Tim
This phone has everything !!!, thats called a flagship. Sadly lg phone's are underrated
yup. checks out with all features. threw on nova launcher with my custom theme and widgets and I'm a happy camper. I love the battery life. the power button took some getting used to, coming from samsung
Wow what an awesome review 👍
Nice review. Giving my mother my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and getting the LG V20 tomorrow from T-Mobile.
Thanks for your review

Great review! I'll definetely choose this over other flagship phones, if I can afford one.
Merci Tim . Encore un super phone chez LG ☺.
This LG V20 display is Magnificent!!! phone is amazing
hey Tim! great video.
Thanks Brandon!
Good to see slickdeals in your app list.
Good review. Wish you would point out some of those LG only features like the icon customization and keyboard. Not many people realise you can do that stock.
I really want that phone
Kevin Gonzalez get it is a great phone.
I'm using the v20 as a second phone my daily phone is note 8 I use the v20 mostly as a music device it's incredible for music as long has you use headphones above 50ohm impedance my ear buds of choice is the sound magic e80 and head phone is sennhieser 650 cost of this phone in mint on eBay was 145$ I could not be happier this phone blows away my note 8 for audio and the camera is more useful for me personally using wide angle the 3 microphones as so nice when going to music shows or auto races this phone for the current price is so worth it i do recommend using nova launcher as well as the LG skin does seem a bit heavy
another great video 😆
I'm sure LG is basking in glory right about now since they're probably experiencing a boost in sales thanks to the whole Samsung situation.
D33M0N3Y Good, Samsung got over confident, it was nice to see their disciples finally not able to defend their savior.
D33M0N3Y Not from folk in Europe there not!
D33M0N3Y you mad
MICOLE WHYTE Mad about what exactly? Do I even come off as mad here? I fail to see why you assume I'm mad?
D33M0N3Y Yeah because I always see you hating on LG you always sound bitter or something.
Love the video, love the phone.
amazing gorgeous underrated smartphone😍

Thanks for a great review info video Very Good Job a matter of fact it was a Excellent video Thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi, excellent review! 2 questions, any upgrade from 7.0? does it have a led notification light?
i got a new battery and its good.. best phone removabpe battery, hi-fi, manual camera fvck .. still kicking..
HD Audio..true high quality DAC..superb mobile..
Nice video!
Hey Tim! What did you think about the removable battery? Also, how long does it take to upload a 4K video, to work?
Do you still have your Samsung Galaxy S7?
Hey Tim ! How are you ?
You mentioned the camera and power button twice at the beginning of the video. Could that have been an editing error

Tim - Great review as usual. BTW what is the name of the Table Tennis app in Google Play Store? thanks.
Michael Chapman This is real genuine comment. I own this and it's my first LG phone and I agree 100 percent with you.
V20 just added to a pending class-action lawsuit against LG... I've only found a couple of complaints about the V20 boot-looping. I asked Verizon Wireless, they said buy insurance at $9 per month! Great!
👍👍👍👍👍
why do people complain about it only being 360p I can only watch 480p on my phone....smh I have a cheap phone but great video Tim
Its like a bigger G5 but with better build quality , the combined power on off button/scanner is a nice feature , makes it very easy to pull it out of your pocket , turn it on glance at the screen turn it off and back in the pocket .
i have the G5 , but i dont think it is worth forking out for the v20 unless you needed to do yt videos or needed the dac or something , G5 is still a good daily , even with its flaws imo.
Nokia N9 was the first phone who started the double tap to wake. Anyone know if that's true?
any link to that?
guomaster Not sure about N9. But sure did Nokia started this
😆 it was LG bro! LG had a patent for nock on and nock code for two years b4 allowing others, it was a selling point for LG, knock Code is still one of the SECURITY lock that comes with all LG phone in d 🌎. Including L series.
can you review nova launcher beta 5.0 ?
Is this your daily driver now? I'm torn I have this but I also have the iPhone 7 plus... operating systems aside. What do your prefer?
Jason Dranoff Do you enjoy your 7 Plus?
You having any issues with battery not charging completely to 100%? Mine did at first but now seems to get to 94% and that is it.
did you just say that the amoled panel of the S7 has better viewing angles than the IPS display of the V20?
Lg V20 or Pixel?
this or the pixel xl?
Boot-loop, super hot battery issues? April 2017... any updates?
Does the second screen work with the Google Play Music app?
I'm experiencing a lot of lag lately, especially with MMS.
Hi Tim. I'm a Photographer and I need lots of space. what's the GB inside the phone & how big can SD Card be?
Tammy Phillips Phone comes with 64 gigs standard. SD is expandable to 2 terabytes
+Pretty Henry - WoW Thanks A lot👍.
sooooo... Modern note 4?
I ordered one but does it work if I plug the Bluetooth speaker into a headphone jack with higher-quality
the ONLY gripe i have is the lack of an amoled display
if it had that it is the perfect phone for me
conghelach the ips display of the v20 is unfortunately not colour accurate. I noticed that photos get warmer when transferring it from my v20 to my xps 15, so the phone has a cooler than normal display
+conghelach yes but im thee type of person who enjoys the vibrant dusplays from samsung and doesnt care for color accuracy
Its not even accurate..lol Do you even know anything about real color accuracy
tim ive had no screen bleeding
should i go with google pixel or lg v20?
abbas rayli am in the same boat
v20 or pixel xl ? Sucks no to have the note 7 available;
Am i the only one who's getting this in 360p?
USMD yeah, why is this only in 360p
So am I :(
???
Give it some time to process!
Give it some time to process
I love my LG V20
360p?
LG G5 Nougat video
removable battery?! holy shit.
i have thing confusing me
if i open the snap chat or Instagram on this device.. can i chose between the back wide angle camera and normal camera
I prefer Long Reviews
I don't notice any light bleed on my v20 like I did on my v10. So I don't know what this guy is talking about.
Am in Ghana and my LG v20 gote problem it can't make call again it just fall and that was all I well be Very glad if you can assist me even if i use earphines it doesn't pickn
Tim has big hands
But LG V20 is not support OTG 😥
Tim you will always be my favorite reviewer next to flossy crater, I have a question is the htc 10 still a good phone (as a secondary phone) I am thinking about the htc 10 for its headphone jake.
Ishan Patel Btw, who is jake?
hola el lg v20 tiene led
Good video Tim. I really can't get behind anything lg. Their phones lose value so quick compare to Apple and Samsung if u get bored of them and want to sell
// // Apple is the only brand that has great resale value. I seen many Samsung fanboys force themselves to use the ip7 after the note 7 clown fiesta just for the resale value
I've owned one for over a week. Ask me anything about it.
N1NT3NDUD3 how similar is it to the v10?
JuggaBugga I never owned the v10 lol. But I did have a friend who's had it. Think of the v10 and the g5 put together and LG upping their game. Camera wise it's amazing with the wide angle. The removable battery is great. And I really like the second display. The quad DAC is now something every smartphone I think should have and LG leaned their UX, so it's not as bad.
N1NT3NDUD3 cause i had the v10 and hated it. it lagged and the battery sucked
JuggaBugga Battery has lasted as long as the S7 Edge I had before this, and there has been no lag what so ever. 4GB of ram with the snapdragon 820 is a great combo.
N1NT3NDUD3 how good does it feel in hand? bulky? or awesome like the note 7?
Hi tim
Hi Tim:-*
Hi Tim
Hi Aura
The legend himself replied, I am not worthy.
Tim Schofield Would this device be a good replacement for my Nexus 6p in your honest opinion?
Yes
watching this from my Nextbit Robin
Dwight Goliday Jr Is it good? and the durability?
Sneaky_Krait yeah. to me it is. everyone opinion is different. I love the UI. it's futuristic
Glad you like it! But how about the durability? I've seen it snaps very easily.
The price is the prohibitive factor on this phone. Too many "mid range" phones out there with awesome specs that make the extra bells and whistles unnecessary, in my opinion.
only issue is with the battery life, it's not that great actually it's like a mediocre
Maruf Ahmed No issues here on mine. It's lasted about as long as the S7 Edge I had.
Maruf Ahmed bullshit minds last all day maybe you need to say off your phone all day. I take mine off the charger at 3pm when I go to work it takes me 30 minutes to get to work. while I'm only way to work I'm listening to Spotify I'm checking messages I'm on facebook etc bout time I get to work my battery is still full. while I'm at work I'll chest so espn scores play some more music on my lunch break. when I get home my battery is still at 60 percent.
Yee yee top ten
I believe you had more subscribers? 🤔🤔
nice now I can have 9000 mag battery
I can't see how to fault this phone! everything you pick on is nitpicking! it has everything! like literally! might ditch my blackberry priv for this.
Dam Tim only 360P ???
TH-cam is still processing it! It'll be in 4k :)
What G5 should've been lol
That second screen is killer. I like this phone alot, but Its hard to pass up a $10 Pixel on Verizon right now.
That may fave been the worse wide angle pic I've ever seen in my life! The wide angle pic that I took in the Shoe was a million times better! O-H!
My v20 had a horrible selfie camera than my g5
loved it so much I went and buy it full price.
