As the first flagship to come out of its box already loaded with the new Android Nougat 7.0 platform, it is expected that the LG V20 will be released to the market soon. Fans will not have to wait long as it is confirmed that the new flagship will become official on Sept. 29.
According to a translated page from LG Electronics South Korea, the new company smartphone flagship will be available in its home country starting Sept. 29. The announcement also enumerated some purchase details on the new flagship.
Later this month, the LG V20 will be available for KRW 899,800 which is around $810. The new iteration will be available in three colors. Meanwhile, as an introductory bundle, there is also a gift pack worth $185 that will be available for only $15 with the purchase of the LG V20. The bundle contains the expected add-ons for the new flagship like an LG Bluetooth speaker, LG headphones, or a charging dock.
It is understandable that the LG V20 will roll out first in South Korea since it is the tech giant's home country. Although, a Sept. 29 rollout signals a global release for the new flagship. However, it is confirmed that the global launch will have a staggered release. A U.S. rollout of the LG V20 is revealed to be happening on Oct. 21. A European release date is yet to be confirmed.
The LG V20 is touted to be the first flagship to run on Android Nougat 7.0 outright. It was first announced at the 2016 IFA trade show in Berlin. As a flagship, the LG V20 also runs on top-tier specs like a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of onboard memory which is expandable to up to 2 TB.
The LG V20 also features the same Always On screen as its predecessor. This is a secondary, 2.1-inch display on top of its main screen. The main one, on the other hand, is a 5.7-inch display with a 2560 x 1440 resolution.
