LG V20: Specs and features
The V20 is powered by the Snapdragon 820, which is not the latest chip from Qualcomm, but undoubtedly still packs a punch. It also runs on 4GB of RAM and the latest Android 7.0 Nougat operating system straight out of the box. The new flagship also has a removable 3200 mAh battery, as well as a 3.5mm audio jack.
All Australian units will come with a standard 64GB of internal memory, but this can be expanded with a microSD card. The rear dual cameras, which are 16 megapixels, allow for wide-angle photography. Meanwhile, the front camera of the LG V20 is 5 megapixels.
With the help of a secondary screen, users can easily access various apps, notifications and reminders. Like with most smartphones, the LG V20 features fingerprint unlocking. Unlike the others, however, it has fast battery charging, or Quick Charge 3.0.
Measuring 6.29 x 3.07 x 0.30 inches all around, the LG V20 weighs a comfortable 174 grams. Its 5.7 inch screen sports a 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution and is protected by Gorilla Glass 4. The device is available in three colours -- titan, silver and pink.
