We liked LG X screen. But apart from the secondary screen, the rest of its features were a bit weak. These deficiencies have been done in V20, or will this company of the company also get empty? Did LG need to launch another flagship phone in 2016? What LG V20 Work phone?
LG V20 Look and Design
Big phones are in trend these days. The V20 is of this league. It has a 5.7 -inch primary screen, but has a secondary screen above it. LG has tried to keep the screen side of the screen low. In spite of its phone, it seems big. The secondary screen does not go to the top. Above it is made for the front camera.
This phone looks like Blackberry Z10, especially due to the position of strip, size and earpiece.
The design of the backpanel is more interesting. First of all, it is possible to remove the backcover. No special arrangements have been made for modular accessory here. Battery can be removed. Here you will get SIM and MicroSD card slots. When you remove the battery to reach the primary slot, you will remember the old days. The second slot can be easily accessed, but it does not recognize the SIM without restarting the V20.
The camera will be seen on the backpanel. There are two lenses. There is also a laser autofocus window with a dual LED flash. The circular fingerprint sensor is under the rise of the camera. It also works as a power button. In V20, LG has once again given the volume button to the edges. Don’t know why this was not done with the power button. We could not be comfortable with the setup during the review.
The volume buttons are on the left, and the right part is almost completely empty. There is a small button at the bottom which is used to open the rear panel. But it repeatedly gives a feeling of having a camera button. The lower back is USB Type-C port. And finally an IR Emitter is on top.
It is a big and weighty phone. It is not easy to handle it. LG has used special aluminum alloys in V20. It has been claimed that it is very durable. However, the review unit we received had scratches and bruises. It is clear that in the launch event, the review unit was deliberately demolished in the circle showing the strength of the phone to the journalists.
LG V20 Specification
LG has priced V20 at the level of flagship phone. And has used hardware that justifies the price. The dimensions of the screen are 5.7 inches and the resolution is 1440×2560 pixels, which is extremely sharp. Colors are bright and saturated. The viewing angles are excellent. The shore borders are very thin. Because of this, it is easy to focus on the content seen on the screen. The deficiency is just in the glass which is very reflective. And easily stains.
The processor is Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. 4 GB RAM has been used with it. There will be no complaint in the case of performance. However, in the coming time it will prove to be the weakness of V20, especially when the low -priced OnePlus 3T Snapdragon 821 comes with a processor and 6 GB RAM.
Inbuilt storage is 64 GB and a microSD card up to 2 TB can be used if needed. You will get 4G connectivity with voice over LTE. Apart from this, Wi-Fi 802.11 AC, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, Infrared and GPS are part of the phone. Two Nano SIM cards can be used. And the battery has a capacity of 3200 mAh.
The camera setup is a bit interesting. There are two cameras on the back. There is a 16 -megapixel sensor equipped with a common lens. The second sensor is 8 megapixels with a wide-angle lens. The good thing about this setup of LG is that the two do not work together. If you want, you can switch between the two. The front panel has a 5 megapixel sensor. In this, you will have the option to switch to mango and wide-angle mode.
Video recording capacity goes up to 4K. There is a manual mode in which you will get common settings. You will also be able to control sound recording.
LG has tied up with B&O Play for V20’s voice. You will get B&O headset with the phone.
LG V20 Software and Secondary Screen
LG’s custom Android UI LG UX is a very customized version. The version 5.0+ given with V20 is also similar. From homescreen to preloaded apps have been modified. You will not recognize Android 7.0 Nougat. Some work features are also given, such as multi window. It works well.
There is no app drawer in LG G5. You can choose a UI theme. If you want, you can also download them from LG’s Smartworld App. The notification shed has several pages of togle control. LG has also given several third-party apps in the phone. The HD audio recorder app is very useful.
The main attraction is the secondary screen. We will believe that LG has thought a lot on using this screen under different circumstances.
We liked how beautiful the LG app has used the secondary screen, especially the voice recorder and the camera app.
LG V20 Performance
The phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and 4 GB RAM. This is not equal to many recent flagship phones. In the end of 2016, several phones were introduced with Snapdragon 821 processor and 6 GB RAM. But there will be no complaint with performance. The benchmark test scored good results.
In common use, V20 gave good performance on most occasions. Sometimes the phone slowed down due to UI. We are happy to say that never got too hot during the phone review.
The experience of watching cinema on screen and playing games was pleasant. The secondary screen is very useful. However, sometimes the text in landscape mode also looked very small. According to the promise, the quality of the voice was very good. You can expect a loud voice from the built-in-speaker. And during this time it is very clean. The quality of B&O headset is good. There is no problem even when used for a long time.
The camera app seems scattered. You will get many options. We liked pro mode, especially in terms of sound recording. Image quality is excellent. We managed to get detail shots. Good pictures also came in low light. However, they had more noise.
The focus was usually accurate, but slightly slow in low light. Close up shots were the best. The wide-angle mode looked very dramatic at first glance. We were able to do something new too. The V20 gave a better output than the second phone.
Battery life is good. It went on for about one and a half in common use. Video Loop Test This lasted for 9 hours 37 minutes.
Our decision
There has been an attempt to make LG V20 all allirs. It wants to play a variety of roles, and is also successful on most occasions. In this phone you will get two screens with dual cameras. It has a strong body and Android 7.0 Nougat. We think LG could have done better work on design. At the same time, software should also be more clean.
Many people will reject the price of the phone and dismiss it. On most occasions, Google’s Pixel and Apple’s iPhone 7 will be considered a better option. It will also be ignored due to weak styling and previous generation specifications. Baszud can be considered once in terms of diversity and uniqueness about its V20. Hopefully, the phone gets less than Rs 50,000.
