The LG V20 launched in South Korea this past September, but the new flagship phone has yet to be released in the U.S. It is now believed that pre-orders will become available in the weeks to follow and that the LG V20 will launch by the third week of October.
Leaked information from B&H Photo (via Droid-Life) previously suggested that the phone may launch in the U.S. in Oct. 2, but at the last minute, this was altered to Oct. 17. A separate report from Game N Guide states that it will launch across all major retailers in the US by Oct. 21.
Both dates have not been officially announced by LG, but they both fall under the third week of October, indicating that pre-orders may come online by Monday, Oct. 17 . Although, the phone won't ship or be available in retail stores until Friday, Oct. 21.
The phone is rumored to feature a 5.7-inch IPS display, and it may run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and 4 GB RAM, making it one of the most powerful smartphones in the market. It is also rumored to come with Android 7.0 Nougat right out of the box and may be one of the first phones to feature the new Android OS.
It is further stated in the report that it may start with 64 GB of internal storage that can be expanded upon with a microSD card and that it will feature a fingerprint scanner by its rear-facing camera. It is uncertain at this point regarding what kind of battery the phone may fully utilize.
Given that the LG V20 will cost 899 KRW in South Korea the U.S. version may cost just over $799 or $849. However, LG has yet to officially unveil when it will release and how much it will cost. LG has also yet to announce if the U.S. will get all of the color variants such as the Pink and Titan color variants.
