LG V20 Features in detail:

Delivering Share-worthy, Crisp, Clear Videos

Steady Record 2.0
The LG V20, powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820 processor with X12 LTE, introduces Steady Record 2.0, leveraging Qualcomm Technologies’ electronic image stabilization (EIS) 3.0 to record smooth video footage and reduce shaky images. EIS shifts the image frame by frame to counter unintentional movement and determine a smooth path for the footage – allowing the user to record clearer videos, even when they’re on the move.

Hi-Fi Video Recording
LG V20 owners can record Hi-Fi videos and manually control the settings to capture next level audio with their video recordings. While recording video, the V20 captures audio through three Acoustic Overload Point (AOP) mics using 24-bit / 48 kHz Linear Pulse Code Modulation (LPCM), a format used by professional movie producers. This results in share-worthy videos from concerts and live events – without having the audio sound blown out!

The Purest Audio Experience

Hi-Fi Quad DAC
The V20 is the world’s first smartphone to feature a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC, powered by ESS Technology, designers of high-performance audio products. Powered by ESS SABRE ES9218, the Quad DAC in the V20 delivers clearer sound by minimizing distortion and ambient noise. With support for lossless music formats including FLAC, DSD, AIFF and ALAC, the V20 delivers high-quality audio to any pair of wired earphones.

HD Audio Recorder
The HD Audio Recorder represents the next level of sound recording. This feature lets users capture studio quality audio with a wider dynamic frequency range using three high AOP microphones to record incredible sound that surpass audio recordings on conventional smartphones. With Studio Mode, users manually control sound with easy-to-use keys similar to ones found in video cameras and use Music Recorded to create high quality audio suitable for auditions by recording singing voices over existing music.

B&O Play H3
Those who purchase the V20, for a limited time, will also receive a pair of B&O Play H3 Lightweight Earphones. These earphones are perfect for those who have not yet invested in nicer headphones – but still want a high quality, wired mobile audio experience.

Capture It All and More

Front/Rear Wide Angle Lens
The wide angle capabilities of the front and rear cameras capture photos with an inclusive background, meaning users get more in the frame and leave nothing out. The 5MP front camera with a 120-degree lens expands the selfie experience to take bigger pictures with even more friends. The 8MP rear camera with its 135-degree lens is perfect for taking pictures in front of a gorgeous vista or inside a gigantic stadium. The large aperture standard angle lens captures sharp images at a maximum of 16MP with its 75-degree lens.

Auto Shot
The Auto Shot Function on the front camera produces perfect selfies with its face detection feature, which triggers the shot when the subject is ready and smiling. There is no need to press the shutter button, which can increase camera shake and the likelihood of a blurred shot.

Hybrid Auto Focus
The V20’s Hybrid Auto Focus (HAF) helps the user zero in on that perfect shot with quick, accurate focus in nearly any setting. Fast and stable auto focus is delivered in any environment by integrating three AF mechanisms – Laser Detection AF, Phase Detection AF and Contrast AF – for both videos and photos. The V20 determines if LDAF or PDAF is best for a particular shot and then refines the focus with Contrast AF. Users can take full advantage of the V20 when capturing sharp images of friends or family in action, in various lighting conditions.

Gives You More of What You Love

Second Screen
The popular Second Screen feature that was first introduced on the V10 has improved visibility features. With nearly double the brightness and 50 percent larger font size compared to the V10, the smaller display located above the main display allows users to easily view notifications and alerts in outdoor situations at a glance.

With the new Expandable Notifications feature, users can tap the “expand” button on the Second Screen to enlarge notifications to check long messages at a glance and quickly send a reply or share information without leaving the app they were using.

LG UX 5.0+
The LG V20 comes with the mobile user interface LG UX 5.0+ to make it easier to use the multimedia functions tailored to customer needs. The LG UX 5.0+ is an upgraded version of the LG UX 5.0 first introduced on the LG G5. It is also the world’s first smartphone interface to run on Android 7.0 Nougat.

The LG V20 also features Multi-window to display two apps at once in a split screen allowing users to drag text, images, and files from one app to another. The combination of these advancements together with the 5.7-inch main IPS Quantum Display offers the best in multitasking capabilities.

In Apps
The LG V20 is the world’s first phone to showcase Google’s In Apps. The new search mode featured in the Google app, helps users find content not only from built-in apps including contacts, emails, text messages and photos, but also from user-installed apps. It also enables users to discover recently accessed apps, people to get in touch with, messages to read or activity across apps without having to type a query.

Premium Design in a Durable Body

Premium Materials and Durability
To achieve both a sophisticated look and solid durability, LG uses lightweight aluminum, together with a new silicon-based material. AL6013 metal, found in aircraft, sailboats and mountain bikes, was selected to cover the back of the phone due to its sturdy but light properties. The top and bottom of the phone are protected from damage by Silicone Polycarbonate (Si-PC). This innovative material, found in helmets, can reduce shocks by more than 20 percent compared to conventional materials.
