[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Leykis:
I'm hoping for a release and price announcement this week. If the T-Mobile rep was correct with his/her information then pre-orders should begin on Wednesday.

And like most of you have already posted in this thread, I can't wait to trade in my S7 Edge for the V20 and go back to a flat screen. The S7E was the first phone I used with the curved edge and after 6 months of using it I can't stand it. This will be the last time.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
As of 9/14/16 @0400 EDT, T-Mobile's site has the LG V10 marked down from $599 to $499,the 1st price reduction since a temporary price break about 10 months ago.

My guess is pre-orders for the LG V20 are imminent,look for it later today if you're going by a reddit post stating 9/14 as the preorder launch date & a retail availability of 9/23/16 (T-Mobile US).

I preordered at AT&T store on Saturday. Expected ship date shows as 10/24-10/28. Of course, I'm hoping for early ship. :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] haris163:
The AT&T version is also available from BestBuy if anyone prefers that over AT&T.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] naturecannon:
I gave my ATT Note 7s back to best buy and ran from them empty handed. I ran Straight to the source (AT&T) and always will for now on. I had at least 12-15 hours in best buy for my wife and I Note 7s in the last 2 months. Best buy is a train wreck. I suggest everyone cut out the middle men like Best Buy, they have limited access to ATT resources and lack knowledge for solving issues. I am Dealing straight with ATT, and is most definitely your best bet. All the BB Promos and gift cards in the world would never make up for the frustrating endless long nights at BB. Its like a McDonalds for cell phones.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] haris163:
I wouldn't trust them with account matters either, however for folks on prepaid, BestBuy is the only option for pre-ordering. Hopefully they cannot screw up delivering a phone.

I used to work at best buy and can also agree they are a trainwreck.

Pre-ordered lg-v20

I pre-ordered mine yesterday. Shipping date 10/17 - 10/24, release date 10/28

I spoke with a rep over the phone and she told me I should be receiving it on if not by the 26th(next Wednesday)

I wonder if it's coming with those B&O premium headphones or do we have to process the purchase like the Samsung VR Goggles and or the 256Gb card gift for pre-orders.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] StaticMoot:
Pre-ordered through T-Mobile and I have a delivery scheduled for this afternoon. I think they're trying to get these out as fast as possible because of the note 7 fiasco and lots of people are grumpy about having to downgrade their phones. Also a good way to get people that are holding on to their Notes to give them up sooner rather than later.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] naturecannon:
I am assuming your with AT&T since I have the same dates for my pre order. Go to the link i added below on the 28th to redeem your headphones. As of now the box is grayed out and unclickable unlike the other 2 boxes and says redeem on the 28th just below the box. So yes you will have to provide your imei and alike just like you did for the Samsung promos.

Acutally I am a T-mobile customer. Thank you for your input and the link, I'll look into it somehow.

It's greyed out because they're not taking orders for those B&O headphones until the date below the tab.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Interesting turn of events! Now Verizon is selling it online starting Thursday. Not a pre-order, but actual sales begin in two days! Overnight shipping would make that a Friday delivery!

In-store sales are now the 27th for Verizon, apparently.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] probablecauzdnb:
i think they probably had to step things up since t-mobile started pre-orders yesterday and devices with overnight shipping are being delivered today. mine is out for delivery as we speak. :D
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ElBeaner:
I think LG is pushing things out early to try and capture some Note 7 returns tbh. Since the S7 Edge is sold out pretty much everywhere, the V20 is a good fill in for it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] andrewoid71:
That is exactly what my brother told me, that his is out for delivery today. IDK why mine isn't when I also ordered it yesterday.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] planetbeen:
I'm. So. Jealous.

Now I'm afraid to order one because I'm going out of town this weekend. Unless I can guarantee delivery by Thursday a.m. I just can't risk it. :(

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ElBeaner:
Have it delivered to Tmobile store - that's what I did
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
+1

I'm glad we have this option,otherwise UPS (in my area) will just leave it on your doorstep,regardless of delivery upgrades/instructions/etc....

Definitely a YMWV situation,otherwise,I'd just waited for in-store availability.

A 10/28 release date doesn't necessarily guarantee in-store stock availability on that date,so,I went for telesales w/free overnight shipping.

Still no tracking available,another YMWV,no rhyme or reason,apparently not 1st come-1st served........................... :confused:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] chanukya:
Just checked with ATT today, pre-ordering in the store gives you a 11/15-11/20 date range. Launch day is 10/28, so better to show up at a big ATT store and take your changes.

Regarding the $200 discount, the rep checked the system. Requirement is any phone with a $5 or higher trade-in value. 4G not specified anywhere. Use the ATT trade in calculator to see value.

I’m actually debating going for ATT vs the unlocked version from B&H. Both are eligible for the headphones, ATT is 830, with taxes is 900 bucks while B&H is 800. B&H also gives you a discounted squaretrade warranty with a lower deductible ($99 vs $120 on Squaretrade website, 75$ deductible vs 99 on website). Plus B&H is giving you the 8’ LG tablet while ATT requires you to sign a 2-year contract for the 10 inch.

Adding up the numbers if you have a low interest card and can afford it, buying the unlocked version makes more sense Unless you’re planning to trade it in at the end of the year. If the resale value drops below 50% then ATT would have been the better bet.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Skripka:
BUT BUT BUT....

What about the $200 rebate and headphones...aren't those "pre-order" only? Least that was my understanding, and the way most literature reads.

NOTE: I'm asking not telling here...I went to get clarification from Sprint yesterday on this point and they were about as useful and helpful as a 50kg bag of rock salt in Death Valley.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] haris163:
The downsides of the B&H version is that not all bands are supported (like 29 and 30) and probably it doesn't have the VoLTE/WiFI calling software for AT&T.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Nick281051:
The headphones are available for anyone that buys the phone within a certain timespan I believe about a month after launch

NEWS FOR VERIZON PEOPLE.

You get the cheapest v20 pricing yet

http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-v20-available-online-verizon-october-20-pretty-reasonable-price

Starting October 20, the V20 will be sold on Verizon.com for $28 per month on a payment plan, or $672 retail, and even at that considerably more reasonable price Big Red is offering some promotions. It will be available in stores a week later, October 27, a day before its carrier rivals. In Verizon's words:

For a limited time only, get up to $300 back when you buy the LG V20 on device payment and trade in select smartphones.

Get a free pair of premium H3 earphones by B&O Play ($149 value) when you purchase a new LG V20 on device payment plan.

Starting October 20, if you buy an LG V20 on device payment you can get an LG Stylo 2 V for $1 a month for 24 months on device payment.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I'd like to know what the "select smartphones" are... Awesome news, nonetheless!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] chanukya:
From what I saw, trade in did not appear to be pre order only. Makes no sense when picking up the phone in store is 3 weeks faster than ordering online. But then att is shaping up to be almost a 100 more than other carriers and probably with a locked bootloader. What exactly are they thinking?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] FAUguy:
It's at the bottom of the Press Release

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] AhsanU:
I'll never buy a phone running Huawei's software ever again in my life. I purchased the Ascend Mate 7 and it was appalling how late Huawei was with releasing Android 5.0, especially with them touting it as a flagship phone. If you buy a Huawei phone, don't expect android updates very often.

I'm personally waiting on some additional information on the V20. I absolutely love having root and xposed, so an unlocked bootloader would be great.. but the USA version of LG phones never get their bootloaders unlocked. I remember buying two LG G4's because I had to get the EU region specific one to get an unlocked.

Also, LG has been failing with battery life with their phones as of late. My G3 had decent battery life, my G4 had near unacceptable battery life, and so did the G5. Here's hoping that LG optimises their software this time around!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cultofluna:
You could easily root the mate 7 and upgrade the software yourself....

Anyway we are a little bit out of topic now...

EDIT:the only disappointing for me on v20 is battery life ..

Heard that battery life is not so impressive..

Less than note7
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] bhagiratha:
At least the battery in the LG V20 is replaceable. That's always a good thing!

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jhill110:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twistedvip:
Not to worry, Samsung fixed the issue for the LG V20 not having as much battery life as their Note7. They just simply cut the Note7's max battery capacity by half :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I'm starting to get nervous. Only a couple weeks left and not even any pre-order news yet. They better get this pushed out by September 30.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] rushless:
Apparently battery life for this reviewer gets over two hours better SOT with the V20 than the Note 7. His review for the Note 7 barely breached 3 hours SOT, but 6 with the V20.

http://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/09/review-lg-v20-android-smartphone.html

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

Android headlines contradicts this, but it is just one review. They got a little over 3 hours SOT with the Note 7 and 6 with the V20. A key apparently is better signal reception with the V20, which is a huge weight for battery life. Weak LTE signal drains a battery much faster.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

15th now and still no preorder. They usually are wrong, regardless of carrier.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twistedvip:
Yeah I was just joking around. I'm hoping that the review is true because I am planning on getting it myself. Been checking literally about every 2 hours for any news/update about a preorder but have been disappointed everytime
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] rushless:
Seems the people most disappointed will be LG missing a prime opportunity to take some share from Samsung. Imagine the joking ad: Battery is no big problem- Swap it!

Not holding my breath for a September release. Probably later October, given LG's track record. Hoping I am wrong :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Yeah,their window of opportunity to convince people to give the V20 a try before the Note 7 is slipping away,replacement handsets for the Note 7 will be available as early as next week,9/21/16:

http://www.droid-life.com/2016/09/1...er-incidents-new-stock-expected-september-21/

If they'd sell the 3.5 mm headphone jack to the iPhone crowd,they still have a bit of time,as backorders for some of the more popular iP7 models are going well into November before availability.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twistedvip:
Yeah and unfortunately I've been reading some people from reddit who seem to believe that they pushed it back, hence why there's been nothing but silence from LG. But they need to release it soon if they're going to keep their word on being the first phone shipped with 7.0 preloaded on the phone. I'm beginning to think more and more I may just hold off and wait until the Pixel XL - which I've been hearing some people say they are doing as well. Sad to think people are jumping ship on this before it's even released yet.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I'm not jumping ship,a week or two longer wait is of no consequence to me.

As for the Pixel & Nexus phones,I find that they're quite bland & overpriced.

The HTC 10 is a perfect example of that,a near stock experience,but,overpriced.

It was one of the nicest phones I've ever owned,but,if not for aftermarket development,I wouldn't have given it a look.

At least LG & Samsung have features on their flagships that set 'em apart from the crowd,with or without aftermarket development.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twistedvip:
Which is why I had chosen my S5 Active, because I had liked Samsung setting themselves apart from the crowd. But as time grew, Samsung started to become less appealing to me as they locked their phones down more and more. I really love the second display idea for the LG V10/20. I like that LG is also trying to make it a close to stock experience, with some added twists ofcourse. I'm definitely not going to be let down if they have a locked bootloader, as I was fine with my S5 having a locked bootloader.

My main issue is that my S5 is about to die on me. It is on its last leg, having to put in a couple of hours fixing things here and there. That was why I was so looking forward to the V20, as it was said to be coming soon. I'm still wanting to stay strong and hope it comes soon, but that is starting to depend on how much longer my current phone is able to last :(

I still have no doubt though, that this phone will impress. Just I'm very much hoping that the fan base revolving around this phone won't die off, like the game "Paper Toss: Pokemon Edition" (Pokemon GO) userbase died off.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] hasbrobot:
The silence is ridiculous...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] accordingtoome:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] galaxys:
It's really mind boggling! :eek::eek:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] FAUguy:
You'd think they would of started a pre-order a week or two ago (like what Samsung did for the Note 7) but still Nothing.

It's like LG said "Here is the new V20, and we have no idea when it will come out or what the price will be".

---------- Post added at 06:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 AM ----------

Notice how there is some type of antenna on the battery cover, that connects to the phone with two pins. I wonder which antenna it is for?

EDIT: Nevermind, it says "Support for Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC are here too, with the NFC chip found in the camera hump on the back of the phone."
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] StaticMoot:
They did the exact same thing with the V10 release. An entire month of silence with carriers saying they'll sell the phone, but we don't know when. I was seriously considering going to the V20 from my Note7, but this whole silence is insane. I'll probably just stay with the Note 7 since I'll probably have that back next week.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dmarco:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twoeleven99:
When was the release date for the v10?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] planetbeen:
October.... 12 or 13 something like that... And the t-mobile locations around me only got a few... I had to call 3 or 4 stores before I found someone with stock and had him hold it for me while I drove there!

*edit*

With some googling I found it was much later than that. Oct 28 for tmobile. Man I wish I hadn't found that. I was happier thinking this one might be coming out sooner. Hopefully they don't wait that long!

Sent from my awesome T-Mobile LG V10!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] StaticMoot:
Exactly! I remember it being a full month before they actually confirmed the release date. Completely absurd. The v10 was such a cool phone though, but I think something was lost in the conversion to aluminum. The rugged rubber and steel industrial thing was what made me go for that phone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I emailed them, basically saying, "you do realize we only have until September 30 to return our Note 7's and get the V20, right?" Here is their reply:

"Thank you for taking time to contact LG and we really appreciate your e-mail!

I hope everything is going well with you.

Thank you so much for showing interest in getting the LG V20, the release date of the would still be discussed by LG, Google Android, and the network carrier as we work system-to-system with them to update the software. Also, since this would require a lot of testing to make sure it will run smoothly and not cause any glitches on the software and to ensure that it will be compatible both hardware and currently installed apps. The tentative release date of LG V20 will be at the end of the month. And for Verizon user the LG V20 model number is LG VS995.

We’ll keep you posted as we receive information about this release update, though. And we already raised this to the attention of our Developer&#39s Team so that they can make sure to release the LG V20 device in considering for our valued customer as soon as possible. You may also visit our website and Facebook page once in a while for information which will be posted once available."

I like hearing that the tentative release date is still the end of this month, but I am not going to hold my breath.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] chipworkz:
[MENTION=4552123]StaticMoot[/MENTION] I guess it is all a matter of personal tastes but coming from a long time Note user, I like the looks of the V20 better than the V10. To me it is a really nice looking phone, more traditional but it looks higher end compared to the V10 to me. I am pretty sure I am getting this phone to at least try out and hope I like it. I am returning my Note 7 and have my Note 5 to move back to until this is released. I can wait but I too want it to be released sooner than latter. For some reason, this phone excites me more than the Note 7 did and I have had every Note since the 3. I hope it doesn't disappoint me but if it does, I can always go back to a Note 7.

I am used to a lot more chatter around the Samsung phones and it seems like there is much less interest in LG. I keep checking for new info on the phone every day but not much new at the moment.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twistedvip:
I've been hearing a lot of chatter about a beginning of Fall release (Sept. 22/23). It currently feels like a sloppy release so far though. I wonder why they even bothered with an announcement so soon - ESPECIALLY on the same day as the iPhone announcement. To me it seemed like a very unnecessary announcement if they don't even know when they're wanting to release it themselves though.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I have no direct email address to share, unfortunately. I went to LGs website and then went to Contact Us and chose email (because their chat option closed down earlier in the day). It's like a form you fill out and they email you back from an email address that is outbound only.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mjjcb:
There billions of dollars at stake here. I've got to believe LG is doing everything it can to push this out in time to take advantage of the Note 7 situation and the few iPhone sheep who haven't already ponied up for the iPhone 7. I doubt they need any emails to know that or that they will make any difference.

Three of our family of 5 got the Galaxy s7 today, but my son and I are holding out for this device. I don't think LG has the clout in or the knowledge of the U.S. market to throw its weight around like Samsung does.
