It appears not all US-based owners of LG G4, G5, V10, V20 and Nexus 5X phones plagued by the bootloop defect will be compensated for their sorrow after all.

The two phones are rapidly approaching their two-year software support clock and the company said that they aren't ripe for Nougat. But they'll get it.

We can't be sure this is the LG G6, although it certainly fits the description, sadly packing a previous-gen Qualcomm SoC and 4 gigs of memory.

Limited deal-specialized website Daily Steals strikes again, putting one of 2015’s best high-end Android smartphones on an unprecedented sale at an all-time low price. Available back in the day for as much as $700, the LG V10 has been consistently and considerably discounted in recent months, dropping as deep as $300 at Best Buy in the wake of its successor’s launch.
If you thought that was a tempting offer, being now able to pay an even lower $260 for a brand-new, untouched H900 configuration of the V10 will probably feel like an early Christmas gift in itself. Speaking of, the irresistible bargain expires in five days, i.e. December 25, so worst case scenario, you snooze, and still get the rugged 5.7-incher at a great price before the New Year.
Remember, this old dog still has a number of awesome tricks up its sleeve, including Quad HD screen resolution, a secondary ticker display, shock-resistant design, dual front cameras, 32-bit HiFi Digital Audio capture, 16MP OIS rear snapper, 4GB RAM, expandable 64GB internal storage, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow software goodies, no doubt with Nougat decidedly on the way.
While technically the H900 model is AT&T-exclusive, we’re seeing mentions of unlocked 4G LTE connectivity, so you should also be able to activate it on T-Mobile and the likes.

Verizon has been selling its network-locked configuration of the successful LG V20 smartphone on a tempting buy-one-get-one-half-off plan for a few weeks now. And T-Mobile’s “kinda crazy” Black Friday deals even include the 5.7-incher as free… under certain conditions.
Meanwhile, the SIM-free, factory unlocked handheld is still rather expensive stateside, at a recommended retail price of $800, which at least covers a number of gifts through B&H, namely a G Pad 7.0 tablet, Asus ZenPower Pro battery pack, and JBL Synchros Bluetooth on-ear headphones.
Shelling out the extra cash upfront for a carrier-free LG V20 this holiday season may start to seem like a good idea for semi-professional and amateur software developers too after hearing of the latest bootloader unlock program expansion.
LG officially supports OS tinkering on the V20 now, but unlike the V10, G5 and G4, which are open to otherwise unauthorized ROM modifications on the old continent, the “next-gen” phablet only joins the party for the “US open market.”
We’re guessing that means US996 models sold on Amazon, B&H or Newegg as opposed to mobile operators, and of course, you should never rule out an eventual European love-spreading effort.
It’s very important to highlight LG V20 phones with unlocked bootloaders will surrender their manufacturer warranty rights, so take a moment and think about the risks before embracing a custom ROM. Remember, this thing already runs Android 7.0 Nougat, and the OEM’s proprietary skin is not that intrusive.

LG announced some good news, though we have little causation talk going on. While it may not want to step on toes or lunge forward in the midst of tight iPhone 7 inventory and the disappearance of Galaxy Note 7 from the retail scene, the company will take what good news it has in stride.
In its first ten days of sales in the US, the V20 garnered 200,000 purchases — double the performance of the V10.
While both phones are focused on multimedia creation and share hardware and software features, one boosting factor to the V20 may have been expanded retail availability. Sprint didn’t stock the V10 last year, but it did this year. Another point to the V20? Pre-order bundling perks: $150 B&O Play earbuds may have proven a better draw than extra batteries or even a 200GB microSD card did with the V10.
Whatever the case, we’re seeing the phone grow more wings as Hong Kong, Taiwan and maybe even Europe are destined for the device in one form or another.
