LG just announced the V20, a successor to last year’s V10 smartphone .LG V20 is the first smartphone to run Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. It’s set to begin rolling out globally this month and will be available in three color options: titan (dark gray), silver, and pink. Specific pricing will vary by carrier. LG insists that the V20 can withstand everyday drops without incident thanks to that silicon poly-carbonate material. It’s rated MIL-STD 810G drop and shock resistant. LG V20 is made out of AL6013 metal – which is used to build aircraft, sailboats, and mountain bikes – and LG claims it can easily survive drops from a height of four feet. LG V20 comes with a 5.7-inch main IPS Quantum Display and a secondary display, also seen on the LG V10. The secondary display on the LG V20 comes with a font size that’s 50 percent larger font size compared to the V10, making it easier to view notifications and alerts at a glance. The new Expandable Notifications feature lets users tap a button on the Second Screen to enlarge notifications in order to check long messages at a glance and quickly send a reply or share information. LG V20 checks all the boxes for a 2016 flagship: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. The V20 supports microSD cards up to 2TB, and the (replaceable) battery is rated at 3200mAh. If you do get caught without another battery to put in, the V20 is Quick Charge 3.0-compatible through its USB-C jack.
