LG V20 was once considered as a good alternative to the unfortunate Samsung Galaxy Note 7; however, it seems like the odds were never on its favor. When Google Pixel Phones were released last October 2016, LG's unsung hero has been forgotten. Let's take a look once again to the smartphone's impressive features and specs that were overlooked by the world.

Design

LG V20 showcases a manly physique due to its sizeable body but the phone is reportedly sturdy. In fact, it is compliance with military standards for drop test which suggests that the phone can endure any dropping circumstances most especially when it doesn't have glass surfaces that are highly potential for cracks, Phone Arena reported.

Display

LG V20's 5.7-inch screen display with 2560 x 1440 resolution is made up of 16:9 panels which excellent in accommodating apps, games, online videos and other existing contents that perfectly suit in a wider screen. The secondary display of the phone is somewhat considered as a gimmick but appears to be useful for some because of its ability to display notifications without having to disturb the currently running applications.

Specs and Performance

Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipsets fueled the LG V20 alongside 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage expandable via micro SD. The smartphone's specs were considered as the most competitive at the time of released, competing against Galaxy Note 7, Paste Magazine reported.

Special Features

The quad-camera set-up of LG V20 is everyone's subject of envy until today. In fact, it has become the first smartphone to introduce four cameras - two front-facing shooters and two in the rear. The smartphone's camera works well with landscape photographers and videographers would love to try it too because of its optical and electronic image stabilization.

Price and Value

Recently, T-Mobile offers LG V20 for $480 (from the original price of $769). AT&T offers the smartphone for $829, Verizon for a much reasonable price of $576 and Sprint where V20 costs around $792, Tom's Guide reported. In conclusion, it is wiser to avail the phone through T-Mobile because of the discounted price.
