So after almost 4 years of constant use my LG G2 died (boot loop), fuck fixing a 4 year old phone. I was able to get an iPhone 5 from a friend as a temp phone while I decided what to do and even though I really tried to be open to iOS I hated it.
I liked the G2, so I figured I would try to stick with another LG product but I didnt want to plop down $700 for a new G6. I ran across a deal for unlocked V20s for $350 shipped. I tried to do a bit of research first but I figured fuck it and ordered it (30 day return policy).
I just got it today and so far I'm impressed. The camera is good. Better than my girlfriends iPhone 6+. Probably not the best ever but she was impressed. She's big on social media and she thought this could replace her iPhone go pro combination.
The battery is gigantic and removable.
It came with 64gb of storage plus an SD slot do its far ahead of most phones.
Pluses, Giant removable battery (haven't been able to test the endurance yet). Expandable memory. Good camera with regular and wide lenses. Camera has manual mode and infinity settings for those who want to fuck with it. Android without bloatware (on this unlocked version). 2nd screen with notifications and stuff is pretty decent. Cheap cheap cheap for a "premium" phone.
Cons, I wish the body to screen ratio was higher. Its better than an iPhone but less than my old G2 or new Galaxies. Not great looking. Requires lots of setup to optimize but that's the greatness of Android.
Anyway, I'm sure someone here will say this phone sucks or whatever but I thought I'd share for people that want a good phone for not a lot of cash.
As I spend more time with the phone I'll update if anyone gives a fuck.
