Timeline of Release

[twistedvip]

I can imagine the AT&T model having the 30 band. But the thing is most want to get the unlocked version to get away from all the additional apps/bloat that AT&T add onto the phones. Then there is also the fact that if ever given a chance for unlocking the bootloader, the unlocked version would be the only one that could have that possibility. AT&T would never allow for that.
So it would be quite disappointing if the unlocked model didn't support all the LTE bands. Just one band missing of 4 LTE bands could mean the possibility to have no LTE in your area.

LMAO...So with every single Google phone release...the time between announcement and actual retail availability (as in just outright buy it "now", not "pre-order it).....was several *months*.


By 10/21 Pixel pre-orders will not even be available yet. And even if they were you would almost certainly not see a handset in your mailbox until November at the soonest...presuming you were one of the lucky FIRST pre-orders to get in. Oh yea and the Google pre-order site gets taken down and crashes when pre-orders go up. If you think waiting until 110/21 for a v20 pre-order is a long time not worth waiting...the Pixel wait is going to be MUCH longer.


Maybe this one time Google has their act together and learned from EVERY SINGLE Nexus program launch ever...but there's less than zero reason to believe that.

The day note 7 was announced it was available the same day in dubai you can check the videos on YouTube. I don't know I've never bought nexus phone from google's official website and i have never bought an lg phone also so i assumed after seeing an article that spigen cases are already available on amazon anyways when will i get nexus if i pre order(sorry this is the wrong forum but still i see you have got good informations about the pre orders and deliveries).

Samsung releases are a very different matter.


I pre-ordered my Nexus 6 on November 5th. I was only able to get through the Google website on the second batch of pre-order days (pre-orders were only up for 1 hour over lunchtime). My order number was in the 1300s. I did not get a shipping confirmation of my phone until December 1st. I actually started a chargeback with my bank as a protection in case Motorola failed to deliver (only a calendar month to do so). And between holidays and weekends...I didn't have a phone until nearly the 2nd week of December. Nexus 6 Shamu was announced in October. I got so fed up of waiting, I actually started a gambling pool for a bottle of scotch for the person to get their Nexus 6 last from the pre-order. Final pre-order from 11/6 didn't get his until Xmas.

If you didn't pre-order there was no online stock to "buy now" until January or February. And that is normal for a Google Nexus release. Never enough stock....and pre-orders separated from paper-announcement by a month.


If you think the v20 wait is bad...well, you have admitted you've never tried buying a Google phone. Maybe with the rebrand Google will shape up. But in the 7 years or so they've done yearly Nexus launches they are all screwups.

Two or three weeks is too much to wait for a device you'll have for a year or two? Come on now.

A typical phone can only expect 24 months absolute maximum of support.... Losing a month out of that is 4 or 5% of your support period minimum

Yes yes you guys got a valid point i am considering it again but what about the bootloader cant use the phone without root. [emoji1] [emoji1]

Let's hope that there will be a true unlocked phone with B30 and AT&T VoLTE support. For me full support for AT&T is higher priority than root; I have the Nexus 5 and I didn't have to root it (albeit it didn't have carrier bloat). Hopefully the bloat can just be disabled/hidden.

It's really frustrating waiting for this phone for 3+ weeks w/o any updates from lg. I may buy an exploding note 7 just for spite....plus I'm disappointed about the lack of wireless charging.

Still holding hope for the V20 even though the two Google Pixel phones are now for pre-order. But the Pixel XL 128GB is $870. That right there is a deal breaker for me, as still no memory card slot. Would rather buy a V20 or something else for less $ and use a 200-256GB memory card.

It was a deal breaker for me as well when I saw the prices. Due to that, I may still try to hold onto the thought of me buying a V20

I also like lg v20 but very disappointed with lg no news about release date or price and they claimed that this is the first phone to unbox with nougat and now pixel will be delivered before pre orders start.

He is probably talking about international unlocked models with no US warranty.

Sorry for the delayed response, yes, this is for international models. I got a warranty on my unlocked US s7 edge without any issues. I assume a ZTE or any other unlocked phone with us warranty will be insured as well.

I got word.. That there no word yet

First with 7.0... Pixel got 7.1!

(plus the phone was released September 29th in another country so they're technically correct either way)

Apparently a replacement Note 7 got fire in a plane. Waiting a bit for V20 doesnt seem so bad.

I hope that AT&T offers a similar deal with the B&O headphones.

B&H updated their listing with the full specs:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1285960-REG/lg_lgus996_ausatn_lg_v20_4gb_ram.html

Unfortunately, as suspected the unlocked version doesn't have all AT&T bands and probably lacks the AT&T VoLTE software as well. It also doesn't have T-Mobile's band 66

 

[jayochs]

so that unlocked has the Verizon bands and will work fine with them??
