Timeline of Release

[haris163]

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

I should work with Verizon, I don't know if it has all the Verizon bands, but it should since it seems to be based on the Verizon model.

BTW, The V20 will be available for preorder on Friday at AT&T:

Let's hope T-Mobile goes lighter on the price than at&t.
They should also get a pre-order going before the 28th.

Preorders have started for AT&T at the $830 price mark. The headphones are available for anyone who preorders/buys the phone before November 11th through LG's website.

LG is really stupid, why between announcement and actual release is atleast a month? Why announce a phone you are not going to make available ? Worst strategy ever and they wonder why they never make good profit. If the v20 was out, would have exchange my note 7 for it...and I know many other's who would have. Miss opportunity they will never learn from.

Its all about logistics buddy.
LG is avoiding the mistake that Samsung made with the Note 7.
Hopefully LG is taking its time with quality control.
Patience pays off in the end!

So now that AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint have announced the V20, hopefully it won't be long until Verizon announces it. My guess will be next week, since they are pushing the Pixel on their web site this week.

But we can still exchange our n7s for it, looks like carriers are extending the remorse period.

models in AT&T stores

Today I called and they had a floor model in the back that i could look over and try out

1: it's a lot bigger then my old s3
2: if i get it, i hope zerolemon makes a battery for it ( like the one for the v10 )

BTW, I went to my local corporate AT&T store (Santa Clara, CA) to browse their phones and to my suprise they had the V20 on display!

I did like it
-- It had a good feel in my hand, would be different with the zerolemon battery on ( I'd hope i had no problems with the finger print reader )
The dual cam was nice, made close up shots simple and the wide shots so i did not have to get as far back as I'm use to

Right now I'm in a run off for what will be my next phone
-- axon 7 6gb ram /64 gb storage ( if the 6 gb ram model ever make it to the U.S. )
-- zenfone-3-deluxe 6 gb ram / 64 gb storage ( not so big on the screen being only 1080p )
-- v20 nice and i like that i can work with the battery ( but lot of $$$ )

On top of that if I'm going to own a phone, I have to be able to OWN the phone. ( unlocked bootloader is a must )
I'll do my own ASOP build if i need to, But I'd like to use it for three years.

very nice. yeah I'm pumped for the v20. I'm just hoping the unlocked version works perfectly with Verizon.

I just went to AT&T too... They had it on display and let me tell you... That phone is amazing! Coming from a Note 7 for a month and I'm way more excited for this phone! Fast and beautiful, very light for the size, screen looks fantastic next to an S7E, the camera is the best I've ever used (easy to use, manual mode is brilliant), and the audio through my Westone 3's is awesome. Can't wait to pre-order once Verizon gets its act together.

Awesomely amazing in that it performs better than an iPhone 7, that it costs more than? ($800USD+ versus $650-$769)


I'm not trolling, well I am slightly in how I pose the question (I'll fess up), I'm genuinely curious.

I personally have never experienced a faster phone in my life. I was giddy using it, haha. I'm sure they're fairly similar in speed, but the cost is easily justified by the removable battery, expandable storage, IR blaster, shock resistance, nicer screen, better camera, and a headphone jack with tremendous audio quality.

I'm just waiting to see if there will be variants with unlockable boot loaders. If they allow it, I'll probably buy one.

Has it been confirmed that there WILL be locked models?

Nothing's been confirmed regarding bootloader locking, hence why I'm waiting to see.
But judging by their track record with the G4, V10 and G5, the only models that have allowed it are European open market variants.

We don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash custom Roms do we? I saw the T-Mobile lg v10 had CM Roms for it? Hows that possible with no bootloader unlock?
