No idea, but we may not even get it.
Think of what happened with Lollipop 5.1.1... a lot of phones skipped it, and jumped directly to 6.
I think I remember this happening with LG too in the past, with the G4 precisely.

I'm also wondering just like you because I for some reason thought it was android 7.1. Looked in about phone to see 7.0 :(

Very true. ATT turned out to be a bastard to root.
This is one of the first phones I've owned that I cannot root, and it kills me! I knew what I was getting into, but I hoped... It was foolish of me. Thing is, I've either become too fussy with what I want from a phone, spec-wise, or the market is saturated with devices that manufacturers WANT us to buy / THINK they know what we want. Depends on your point of view I guess.

I get you. However, I have no reason to root because the phone is perfect to me. It's fast, it doesn't have some ****ty ass skin on it and honestly I just don't see the need to root at this point. I won't buy a Samsung because they suck and are a bad representation of Android.

There's a couple small things that annoy me about the V20, but I think it's variant specific to my model (H990DS). I agree with you on the Samsung comments!

I don't understand... I have the H910 and I don't have any issues (outside of the obvious that everyone suffers from) with rooting. I have full root and utilize Dual Boot Patcher with no problems.

i finally rooted my t-mobile v20 and took a bit. (not as easy as my Nexus 6p)... but twice already idk how it got stuck in twrp bootloop. I had to completely go back to stock. but cant' complain about stock rom. It's pretty smooth still.

PS: I always thought T-mobile and At&t variants were pretty easy to root. didn't realized at&t is near impossible..
