LG V20 experience: pretty good machine but unfortunately you're just LG

Tencent Digital (Compile: Guti) LG V20 has just been officially released, and since July of this year, we have constantly seen news about the V20. Basically speaking, V20 has not brought us new surprises compared with the previous news, but it is also worthy of its own LG's new flagship. Now let's take a look at the V20's hands-on experience for the first time.

Design

LG listened to the opinions of many users and focused on improving the V10's lack of V10. It mainly includes three things: camera lifting, body work and durability, and removable batteries.

After the V10 was released, many users stated that the V10's durability was relatively normal and it was bad when it fell. Therefore, on the V20, LG increased its strength and switched to an all-metal body. The original plastic backshell was also replaced by metal, and it was easy to dismantle and replace the battery easily.

In terms of weight, the V20 is also lighter. The main reason is that the V20 uses 6013 aerospace grade aluminum, which not only resists corrosion but also greatly improves durability.

The V20's thickness is 7.6mm, which is thinner than the 7.9mm Galaxy Note 7, but overall there is still no Galaxy Note 7 compact. However, compared with V10, there is still a lot of progress.

MIL-STD 810G Level Drop Protection

However, in the V20, the plastic elements did not completely disappear. In the top and bottom parts, the V20 still uses silicone polycarbonate and looks like the metal body through the coating. This kind of design is mainly for the sake of preventing falling. It can absorb energy while falling to the ground and avoid damage to the fuselage.

The V20 has passed the MIL-STD 810G level drop test. Obviously, in terms of durability, the V20 has been further improved over the V10. MIL-STD 810G is a military-grade anti-drop standard that guarantees better durability and longer life for the V20.

Each V20 can withstand a drop of 1.2 meters, and will not appear obvious traces on the equipment after a fall. This performance is quite satisfactory.

IPS+ Quantum Dot Technology Screen

The LG V20 is equipped with a QHD resolution 5.7-inch display, a pixel density of 513ppi, and uses both IPS and quantum dot technology. The combination of these two technologies can achieve higher color reproduction and brightness with less backlight.

At the same time V20 is also equipped with a 160 × 400 resolution sub-display, and this is one of the biggest highlights of the V20. This sub-display can continuously display the basic information of the V20, including time, power, and notification. The user can easily grasp the latest basic conditions.

This kind of design has been successful on the V10, not only saving power, but also allowing users to see the latest news at any time. In addition, this sub-display is also sufficient in brightness, and it can be seen at any time even outdoors.

Dual cameras

Another major selling point of the V20 is the dual camera configuration. After inheriting the manual mode of the V10, the addition of dual cameras can further enhance the V20's camera performance.

The V20's dual cameras consist of a 16-megapixel (f/1.8) 75-degree standard lens and a 8 million-pixel (f/2.4) 135-degree wide-angle lens. In many cases, the second wide-angle lens can play a key role in capturing more of the content of the screen, which in many cases can bring better results.

At the same time, LG also added a hybrid auto-focus function to the V20. Previously, LG used laser focus, while the V20 had a combination of Phase Detection and laser focusing.

Steady Record 2.0

The V20 also uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor, which also supports Qualcomm's digital image stabilization system. This system, called Steady Record 2.0, allows users to take stable photos even when moving.

Steady Record 2.0 can reduce the delay from 100ms to 50ms by calling the gyroscope and sensor inside the mobile phone, which is obviously different from the common OIS optical image stabilization.

Hi-Fi level audio video capture

The V20 has three built-in microphones that can record high-quality sound effects when recording video. Since the environment at the conference was too noisy, we couldn't do actual testing, but I believe that the V20 is in comparison with ordinary smart phones. Aspects should have considerable advantages.

Front camera

The V20 also has a lot of changes in the front camera. The first is equipped with a 5 million-pixel wide-angle lens, which means that the self-shooting effect is further enhanced. For users, selfies uploaded to social networks will also look more beautiful after being edited and processed later.

Quad DAC, Hi-Fi

The V20 incorporates the ESS SABRE ES9218 high-quality DAC, which converts digital music signals into analog signals and plays them through speakers or other audio equipment. Not only through the 3.5mm headphone jack, but users can also play through Bluetooth connected speaker devices. However, overall, it is still better through the headset interface.

If the quality of the music itself is good enough, plus the V20's built-in DAC, then the V20's sound effects are significantly better than ordinary smartphones. Although there is still a gap compared to the Friends series of external modules, since it is built into the smartphone, this is already a very good performance.

Replaceable 3200mAh battery

Compared with the 3000mAh of the V10, the V20 increased the battery capacity to 3200mAh, but it is still a little less than the 3500mAh of the Galaxy Note 7. However, the V20 has the biggest advantage of battery replacement, which is very attractive to users. To know that changing a battery directly is faster and more convenient than a quick charge.

However, at the same time V20 also supports fast charging 2.0 technology, so in the endurance performance, V20 can be said to be the most perfect choice on the market.

Android 7.0 Nougat system

The V20 is the first device equipped with an Android 7.1 system and is the first product to reach the user. Some new features have been added to the Android 7.0 system, the most important being the more power-efficient night mode and multi-window App switching. Although Samsung also had similar features before, it was the first time that Android 3.0 was featured in its native function, and it was also more efficient.

At the same time Android 7.0 also added some security updates to improve the system's security.

Snapdragon 820 processor

Last year's V10 used the Snapdragon 808 instead of the most advanced Snapdragon 810 at the time, so it was also involved in the "overheating problem."

This time, the V20 uses the best Snapdragon 820 processor on the market and has officially entered the flagship class in overall performance. Whether it is system fluency or graphics processing power, the V20 can compete with any flagship model.

to sum up

This time, the V20 has finally become another flagship model of LG's name, and through the improvement of the camera and sound, it has become a very selling point product. At the same time, as the few flagship models that still use replaceable battery designs, plus the all-metal body, I believe that for many users there is still considerable appeal. However, it is clear that in terms of the value of the brand, LG's position in the smart phone is generally, so how to attract consumers' attention is a problem.
