MNO's please bring this to SA!

 

[Baxteen]

agreed.
I it looks like this is the best LG phone on the market right now.

so the question is, in 2015 the duel rear facing camera thing took off. now its everywhere. the V10, the P9, the V20 and the iPhone 7.

are we going to have 4 rear facing camera's in 2020?

 

[Park@82]

Will be $$$$$$$$ like the v10

I've been advised by LG Mobile SA that its in the pipeline for later this year. I hope Vodacom take it, will enquire.

Am interested in the V20, as I understand it, it will be the only dual sim phone with a separate SD card slot.

Which is a prerequisite for me.

Any possibility of a cut-down version? Just a couple of inches smaller, 5.1>.

LG G5 is the closest you will get with the same specs, display 5.3inch though.

Sony announced some very pretty and well-sized phones at IFA, maybe check this out:

And this

There is also the X Performance, same specs with 5inch display on the dot, and it is already available down here

Hope that helps.

Thanks, another 3 months till my upgrade is due. Going to give this phone to a friend.

This phone is on my radar as well. However its unlikely we will see it locally, seeing reports that the V20 is not going to make it to Europe any time soon.. Rules out even sourcing via Orange

LG reconsiders its decision to bring the smartphone only in North America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.


Lets hope when they say africa they refering to south africa

Vodacom just advised me on Twitter that the LG V20 arrives this week:

Let's see what sort of deals they'll have

are you going for it?

 

[Tsepz_GP]

are you going for it?

Think I may, it will be nice to get something new and different after 5years of Samsung phones.

I had the G4, the vanilla-like LG skin was nice.

That is awesome, I am looking forward to having a new UI to learn and get used to. LG's UI seems to be more 'grown-up', I will miss having a gorgeous AMOLED display though.

7th November is D-Day!

 

[Tsepz_GP]

So after watching many reviews I encountered 1 major problem with V20, that 3200mAh battery aint big enough, many getting <5hours SOT, not good at all!

Black S7 Edge ordered.

 

[Tsepz_GP]

For those interested in this beast, LG Mobile SA just confirmed they are bringing the 64GB model here, not 32GB. Proper alternative to the now dead Note7 if you want to go outside of Samsung and try something different.

And it is launched!

Price isnt too bad in my opinion.

 

[Jola]

Why is the Cash Price (R10999) more than the Device Cost (24*400 = R9600), should be less ?

Time value of money, and all that.
