U.S. based carriers are already preparing their stocks of the recently announced LG V20 which could possibly be released later this month. However, friends in Europe may not be able to get their hands on with the latest LG smartphone via official means.

Phone Arena has reported that the South Korean company has already confirmed that there are no immediate plans of launching the V20 in Europe. One of the major retailers in the U.K., Clove, also issued a statement similar to the message of the manufacturer. However, the retailer mentioned that they could try to bring in units from Europe, so their customers can have the V20, once it is official in the continent. Android fans are still hoping that a limited release will happen to several European countries so that they can have their own LG V20 officially.

The LG V20 offers a 5.7-inch IPS LCD display screen capable of producing a 2560x1440 pixel resolution. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, paired with 4 GB of RAM and contains 64 GB of internal storage. It also has a 3,200 mAh battery, a USB Type-C port, the Quick Charge 3.0 technology, and a fingerprint sensor at the rear.

A secondary IPS Quantum display is at the top of the device, 160 x 1040 with 513 ppi pixel density. LG also made the font larger and the overall display much brighter which makes reading easier. It also has Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, and it would be the first Android phone to be released with Google's latest mobile operating system.

The company also included a 16-MP and 8-MP dual-lens rear camera set-up that can capture images with a wider field of view. On the other hand, the front contains a 5-MP camera, which is also equipped with wide angle lens.

Android fans who are meticulous when it comes to audio will be satisfied with the latest offering of LG. The V20 promises Hi-Fi Quad DAC audio that can produce the highest music quality, the first one for smartphones. It also has a 3.5 audio jack, so it will not cause immediate problems with wired headphones.

The LG V20 is expected to be released in the U.S. market before the month ends.
