LG V20

Removable battery ; Wide-angle images never get old ; Audiophile-grade hardware

Varying utility of second screen ; Just missed out on the Snapdragon 821 ; Disappointing camera performance

There’s no contest: the LG V20 is the most feature-packed smartphone of the year. It’s a phablet that mostly nails the basics and adds on a ton of niche features, some of which you might not use all that much.

The LG V20 records really high-quality audio and features a swappable battery and secondary wide-angle lens.

For its high price, the phone doesn't break any new ground in camera performance or battery life.

The LG V20 is the best phone you can buy with a removable battery, and its audio recording prowess is a cherry on top, but skip the phone if neither is a priority.

Great processor, second screen a nice-to-have, great dual camera setup

Not the best looking phone, battery life not that great

The LG V20 combines a metal body with military-grade shock resistance and a removable back and battery ; Bright screen with great color accuracy and good contrast ; Secondary screen is innovative, adds more functionality than just an always-on mode ;...

The LG V20 is the epitome of LG's technology and the embodiment of a no-comprise phone. It has two screens, two cameras, four high-quality digital-to-analog converters, an MIL-STD-compliant shock-resistant all-metal body

Premium performance ; Excellent audio quality ; Bright, attractive screen ; One of the few phones to come with Nougat ; Removable battery!

Dual-camera system could be better ; Second screen isn't that useful ; Not water resistant ; Tough to use with one hand ; Expensive on certain carriers

LG’s decision to not sell the V20 globally and limit B&O certification to certain areas sours what would be a sweet deal. What’s doubly annoying is that it’s a very, very good time to sell a big-screen smartphone. Samsung’s with the exploding , and LG...
