A day before Samsung's launch of the Galaxy Note 7 and amidst hopeful rumors of the upcoming iPhone 7, LG made a game-changing announcement of their own. That is, that the LG V20 will be arriving in September and will be the first handheld to run on the Android Nougat 7.0.
As Gotta Be Mobile reports, the successor to the LG V10 has been long awaited, especially since the V10 was very well received. It had its own set of unique features which included two displays and three cameras. In addition, it had an incredibly powerful and solid build, as well as a relatively large 5.7-inch screen.
It is highly likely that LG will take all the best from the V10 and make further improvements for the LG V20. In fact, the company boasted that the unit would provide a great multimedia experience. This is pointing to another dual screen, improved audio and possibly an even sturdier build.
Most notable, however, is that the LG V20 will run on the newest operating system from Android. That is, the Android Nougat 7.0, which will debut on LG's upcoming flagship. The timing is perfect, as Google will release the new OS mid-August, giving LG the right amount of time for a September launch.
As Phone Arena adds, the tech manufacturer is calling the LG V20 the "new standard for premium phones." LG is also reportedly developing a fingerprint scanner that works on the display of the device, as opposed to one specific area.
There is a lot of pressure from LG at this point, as its latest release, the LG G5 did not do so well in the market. In fact, the company needs the upcoming handset to do well, in order to keep up with the likes of Samsung and Apple.
