LG V20

Planning to upgrade end of this month to V20 from LG G4 ... worth it ?
Sending the G4 to the parentals
 
Check out XDA forums for the V20. Long thread looking for decent tempered glass protectors. You won't find anything decent that covers the entire display due to the slight curves top and bottom. I think I'm going to aim for a full screen TPU cover.

Looking to order this cheapie:

Full Cover Screen Protector for LG V20 Gold Protective Layer Clear Use Layer 2nd Gen TPU Screen Protective Film

I'm still waiting for Evolutive Labs to start offering something. I was on their Kickstarter campain back in 2013 for their Rhino Shield screen protector.
 
Does anyone find the speaker volume on these devices to be particularly low? Especially with ringtones.

Apparently this is a thing on later LG devices and requires rooting to correct.

Suppose I have to keep messing with the ringtone files and alter their volume, but this device is way quieter than things like the old Note 2 or 4 on anything but 100% volume.

No idea. I haven't had a ringtone on my phone since my first smartwatch. Permanently on silent now.
 
Recently got my V20 (upgraded from the Note 2) :)

Has anyone found the battery (and possibly the charging cradle) available to buy in SA yet?

Also, has anyone installed 'V10c-DEC-19-2016' firmware update yet? What changes does it make (other than the not very useful 'Phone usability and functionality has been further improved' description)?

Nice
No
No, where did you find that?
 
I got that update last night. Don't see anything obvious as changed.

Haven't seen the extra battery and cradle. Hit Aliexpress or Amazon.

I also moved from note 2.

I noticed the v20 has been removed from Vodacom site. No stock anymore?

G5 is crap, a complete LG failure. V20 or gtfo

:cry:

Now what...

Dammit, I'm really not prepared to shell out top dolla for a phone - set myself a budget of not more than R450 (on some type of contract) and none of these flagships come anywhere near that (and by the way, Voda doesn't have the V20 on there website and neither does Telkom Mobile).

I really don't mind buying 1 gen old - suits my purposes just fine

and I don't want a Samsung or an Apple (or a wah-way)
 
V20 was Vodacom exclusive unfortunately. They've either run out of stock or maybe run out of their exclusivity period.

Dunno if you gonna see the v20 note at R450 per month. I took a low correct at R579. Vodacom not really the best priced provider.

I would've switched from Vodacom if LG was available at Telkom. I'm actually still waiting for my contract to upgrade at Vodacom and it's been 2 weeks.

What about looking at something like the Huawei P9? Played with it a bit at the store and nearly decided to take it over the V20. Also bad time to be shopping for flagships as the S8 is coming and the Mate 9.

Maybe I should have a look at the P9.

If the right phone was available I'd probably twist my arm to R579 but even at the price I can't find anything but Apple and Samsung (haven't looked for P9 though)
