LG V20 coming to T-Mobile October 28

The LG V20 has been in suspense for some time, even though LG has already announced the device. A number of interested buyers have been waiting for the V20 to arrive, and we now have reports that T-Mobile customers won’t have to wait too much longer — though the wait has already been too long as it is.

T-Mobile announced just yesterday that T-Mo customers can expect to see the LG V20 up close and personal on October 28th. The V20 is the first smartphone on T-Mobile’s network to have support for T-Mo’s Band 66 LTE AWS-3 spectrum, with the phone providing more coverage than any T-Mo smartphone to date. Along with the new device and its wider coverage, T-Mobile is also giving away a free pair of B&O (Bang & Olufsen, for those who want to know the specifics) BeoPlay H3 headphones for free (a $149 value), though you’ll have to redeem your free BeoPlay H3 headphones by December in order to see the deal through.

As a refresher, the LG V20 features a 5.7-inch, IPS LCD display with a Quad HD resolution (2,560 x 1,440p), Qualcomm’s quad-core Snapdragon 820 SoC, 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 64GB of internal storage, an 8MP front camera, 16MP primary back camera, and a 3,000mAh battery. The LG V20 is the first Android smartphone to feature Android Nougat (7.0) pre-installed (not as an update, as is the case with the Nexus 6P, for example), though the new Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL both also feature Android Nougat pre-installed and are available for purchase this month (before the V20 arrives to T-Mobile).

The V20 also brings 32-bit Quad DAC audio to the smartphone world, a first for all smartphones (whether high, mid, or low-end), which means that LG is offering superior audio quality in its latest flagship. I wish LG had offered the same on the G5 (this would’ve at least made the phone appealing in some sense).

LG seems to be offering something different than a removable battery and charging system for the LG V20, though the company offered the tried-and-true removable battery for its G5 promo. The company wants customers to enjoy the high-quality audio, which is to be appreciated. Interestingly enough, HTC also offered its own pair of high-quality audio earphones for HTC 10 website orders, so Android appears to have an aim for superior audio quality this year. Even Motorola has added a MotoMods module for audio to its “modular,” Moto Z lineup.

We have yet to see a camera shootout of the LG V20, or reviews that tell us what this device will do overall that makes it stand out from the onslaught of high-end Android smartphones, but we’ll find out how good (or not) this device is when it arrives at local retail stores.

Head on over to the link below and check out the new deal that awaits.
