What a downgrade going from Android to Apple.

Let's be very honest. Going from the S7edge to iPhone was a bit of a shock to the system, and that's exactly what I wanted. I was getting really tired of upgrading, getting the latest and greatest, and after I've set up my google account, there is nothing else to explore.
Fukkall. That's just where we are at.
I last had a iphone 3GS and thought, let's give it a go. If it's kark, at least I'll have first hand experience to tell Apple people that their dumbasses, right? But hey, I'm still enjoying it. It still gives me what I need with a different interface...

BTW did you get a Case!? There is an increasing number of people discovering the Glass that sits over the V20's Camera setup breaks easily. Get it a case ASAP.I will do. I can't open it yet as my contract is still pending

Oh, and Rocha, please come and report some of the battery stats, and screen on times you get once you are up and running. I've got an idiot with G4 that says the V20 is better than the S7edge

Alright I've got it basically set up now. So far;
1) Phone came with a cover and 2 screen protectors
2) No Bang and Olfsen headphones in the box only standard ones.
3) It's fast as hell!!!
4) Battery to early to tell but it won't beat the edge.
5) Construction is awesome.
6) Screen is great.
Will follow up with more when I get a chance to use the other features. If there's something you want me to test let me know.

Battery usage so far. This is with all the settings g up of the apps, downloading apps and music and general tinkering with the phone.

So did I. Lg is also releasing the same type of battery pack they had for the G5 for the V20. Will I'll be getting that as soon as it is released.

This is looking very good! They must have done some heavy tweaking to that Snapdragon 820 and tailored their software to require as little power as possible

This shows what good optimisation can achieve as I certainly had very little confidence in that 3200mAh battery, especially after the reviews I watched and read.
How's the phone in hand? Especially vs. Note7 and S7 Edge? Easier and less slippery to handle? Not too wide?

I have yet to properly test the camera but so far I find its an awesome deal for a high specd phone. I honestly loved the G5 apart from its quality issues. This is the big bad better brother.

It's roughly the same size as my 7plus was. Slightly taller. It's bigger than the Note 7 is and quite a bit bigger than the edge. With all that I think it's a great size for me personally. They could've made it smaller by eliminating the LG logo at the bottom but it's not huge. It's slightly slippery without a case but nowhere near as bad as the glass Samsungs. Remember it is using android 7.0 so the doze and sleep functions are much more advanced.This is looking very good!

It's nice and easy to hold and you dont feel lime you are going to drop it. I think that's due to the fact there are no screen edges but father flat bezels on the side.

Oh yes, I tend to forget the V20 is on Nougat!
That is great Rocha, thanks a lot!
Enjoy it!
What I like is that the V20 is truly a Power User's phone, maybe next time I'll be brave enought to jump ship
Its going to be unique here in SA, amongst all the damn Galaxys, iPhones and Huaweis (I'm seeing A LOT of Huaweis around these days!).
