Drop the module and secondary screen. Its not helping at all. Keep it simple like the gpro 2 and g4 which were both great.

LG AND B&O PLAY COLLABORATE TO BRING
PREMIUM AUDIO EXPERIENCE TO V20 Renowned Acoustic Performance of B&O with Advanced
Smartphone Technology of LG for a Winning Audio Experience
SEOUL, Aug. 24, 2016 ― LG Electronics (LG) revealed today that its upcoming LG V20 smartphone will feature best-in-class audio functions developed in partnership with B&O PLAY. B&O PLAY is a premium audio company making portable audio products and headphones, firmly grounded in 90 years of audio and design excellence, craftsmanship and product innovation from Bang & Olufsen.
LG and B&O PLAY worked closely together to bring the best sound to users by optimizing the audio capabilities of the V20 smartphone. Acoustic engineers collaborated to achieve B&O Play’s philosophy of delivering a natural and balanced sound in a portable package. To enhance the total experience, the V20 set will include a special pair of B&O PLAY earphones and a set of wallpapers designed for V20 which includes the official logo of B&O PLAY, as a certification of B&O PLAY premium audio.
“The collaboration with LG provides a wonderful opportunity to showcase B&O PLAY’s expertise in terms of audio technology, design excellence and user-centered philosophy,” said Henrik Taudorf Lorensen, president of B&O PLAY. “With the new LG V series smartphone, users will experience a new premium sound experience that they have never heard before.”
“I’m pleased about our close partnership with B&O PLAY which started earlier this year with Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY and continues today with the V20,” said Juno Cho, president of LG Electronics and Mobile Communications Company. “A growing number of consumers expect a better audio experience from their smartphones than what has been available in the past and I’m confident that the V20 delivers on these expectations.”
Might take me some time to adjust myself to the side volume buttons and without double tap to wake if I change to other manufacturers.
Damn.. gonna miss those features..
I think this is the only phone in the market with Dual screen, Dual Front Camera & Dual Rear Camera. Which I personally find none is useful..
LG can use 1 wide angle camera on both front and back and use software trickery to adjust the field of view.. And the 2nd screen till today of my daily usage of the V10 I only use it to view date & time. The notification feature which it is supposed to push to the 2nd screen doesn't work on all apps..
Have to say LG is becoming from practical to gimmicky.. I have yet to use a G5 and I don't know how is the modular design is giving an advantage over the other brands.. Again in my opinion is another gimmick.
Trying too hard to be different has it's price and LG is paying a hefty price for it sadly.
My V10 already start to show signs of the bootloop, restarting itself atleast twice a day, if the phone doesn't hold up I think I might be switching to other brands since new LG phones doesn't come with the volume buttons on the back, I don't see a reason to stick to an LG anymore. And the way LG handle the bootloop issue is terrible, it took me twice to replace the motherboard on my G4 and till today still giving problems restarting now and then on a daily basis. Worst was I sold it to my colleague, everyday KBKB complaining abt the phone restarting itself..

Very true, using someone else's phone for few minutes already made me want to go back to my phone.The only feature that you gonna miss will be the rear volume buttons. Even Asus zenfone 3 has also changed from rear to side vol buttons. Double tap to wake/sleep feature is quite common, especially with CM based ROMs. And with FP/iris scanner, this feature become a bit redundant, which of course will depend on own usage pattern.
LG as we already observed, dare to take risk.

Perhaps all the innovative ideas are not working right
now among the consumers.
LG must take our feedbacks seriously and look into
what the customers want instead of showing off that
they are different. Of course we know they have
the willingness to take the blow with less sales.
We want at least 5.7" or bigger screen with at least
4GB Ram on the SD820 or faster.
Speed is very important and more Ram to boost
up multi-tasking with removable battery.
For now, the only phone I can see that is within LG's previous design language is ZTE Axon 7.. Looks very familiar like the LG G3 that I used to love so much. It has every thing I had wished for on the LG G5, a G3 design language, amoled screen,front facing speakers and the latest specs. If only the volume buttons are on the back it would make the "perfect" LG replacement phone for me.
haha i thought the axon 7 was more of a HTC classic design, I mean... front speakers, that familiar antenna bands and metal body...
i would actually love using the axon 7 as a future replacement to my G4 but its camera isnt that good for low light and the nav buttons being so near each other is a usability hassle (seriously once you have used one of those phones that are good for low light, like the S7 or G4/G5 you will be spoiled for choice in future)
I think whatever design language LG used to have with the G2 till V10 has already ended, this year they seem to be kind of in a transition stage to a bold new design (like 2015 Samsung) except the G5 was already 1 round of flop and still dont know if the V20 can save LG yet but im not too optimistic.
The V20 actually now does feel like its selling to the same people the Axon 7 is targeting: those audio enthusiasts who can really appreciate that DAC and amp within.
I agree with you.. As mentioned the axon 7 is what the G5 I expected it to be which never came..Camerawise I agree with you, ever since using the G4 it's hard not to notice bad pictures taken from other phones.
V10 is popular in local as alot early adopters brought in from oversea. Suspect LG take this opportunity to sell locally.yesterday was at my telco at tampines and was told that V20 may not even be coming to singapore after all. V10 coming here was only a last minute decision. anyone can confirm?

The LG staff or Telco staff probably got their info from here as well..
Last year when I got my v10 from Korea, similar news is not coming SG. 4 months later the phone come...
Think is 2 more days? Cos announce in USA?
It's alright. Just nice I got to exchange my time bomb 7, sell it then get V20. I missed removable battery! I remembered my note 4 battery up lorry, I easily get one to replace and until now song song gao jurong.should be more than that considering to the day our telco starts selling.
