LG ...

LG V20 Real Audio Review: The headphone king?
We finally have a real production version of the LG V20. Hardware destined to be handled by real consumers. No longer are we toying with pre-release or engineering samples. It’s time to dig into this phone for some real analysis, and what better place to start than by assessing the audio claims made by LG.Last year’s V10 was a surprising entry in the multimedia market. LG had a rather poor reputation for audio fidelity opposite leaders like Apple and HTC. With one phone they completely flipped the script on what consumers should expect from mobile audio.

LG V20 vs LG V10 Smartphone Showdown: Should you upgrade?
The LG V20 is a completely different animal than the G5 which was released earlier this year. Unlike the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, the differences are more similar to comparing the smaller S7 and the Note (minus the battery issues of course. The V series LG phones represent a focus on multimedia playback and content creation. While Apple got rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack, LG is improving the headphone playback on the V20. Google keeps the camera app simple on the Pixel, but LG is expanding on the options available for people to control photo and video creation. Even the microphones get ...
