With nothing much to hate about it, the LG V20 is one of the best smartphones you can buy today. It is exciting and overly equipped to handle anything you throw at it.
The LG V20 is a 2016 5.7-inch Android smartphone that upon release received considerable praise for its robust and durable military-grade build quality, great screen quality, audiophile-grade sound hardware, good cameras and commendable battery life.
