5.7 fablet with Nougat

LG has unveiled its V20 smartphone which is a 5.7-inch handset and it’s the first phone to ship with Android Nougat.

There are rather a few things which the V20 has - more sophisticated dual rear cameras, more battery capacity, and it looks a bit better than its V10 predecessor.

The V20 is the first phone to get In Apps, a new homescreen shortcut in Android that makes it easy to search through content on all installed apps. The V20 has a customisable “second screen” at the top, the combination fingerprint scanner and power button on the back, and a case you can snap off to replace the battery.

On the front, there’s one 5-megapixel wide-angle camera. The dual rear cameras, which were a signature feature on LG’s G5 phone earlier this year. This allows the device to switch from the 8-megapixel 135-degree wide-angle camera to the 75-degree, 16-megapixel regular camera as you zoom in.

You can apply film effects on V20 video, also has Steady Record 2.0, an improved mechanism for video stabilisation. It has  better audio recording and the new phone can record at 132dB, up from 120dB; high-end LPCM 24-bit, 48khz recording is supported; and there will be 50 percent less white noise.

It is all based around the Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage with support for up to 2TB of storage via microSD, a 3200 mAh battery, and a QHD display. It measures 159.7 x 78.1 x 7.6mm and weighs 174g. The USB-C adapter supports fast charging.

The V20 will be shipping in the third quarter of this year, as in before the end of September. No word on price yet.
