LG has finally unveiled its latest high-end smartphone in the 'V series' at an event in San Francisco. Although it was rumoured, the LG V20 is not modular, but it has a removable battery inside a lightweight aluminum body with Silicone Polycarbonate (Si-PC) on the top and bottom. The phone even meets the US Military Standard MIL-STD 810G to withstand a fall of up to 1.2 meters.

The inside of the phone is almost the same as the flagship G5. It packs Snapdragon 820, 4GB of RAM, 64 GB of expandable storage, a 3,200 mAh battery and runs the latest build of Android 7.0 Nougat.

The rear camera setup includes an 8-megapixel wide-angle sensor and a 16-megapixel standard sensor, while a 5-megapixel is located on the front. There is also a fingerprint sensor below rear cameras.
