With the LG
V20 rolling out to retailers this week, LG's most expensive phone has its work
cut out for it. Not only did the Korean company unveil the V20 hours before
Apple took the wraps off its iPhone 7 and 7 Plus in September, the device is
also hitting shelves after Google launched its superb pair of Pixel handsets.

Amid all these
competitor announcements and ill-timed releases, however, the V20 does have
some things going for it. For one thing, LG hopes the phone is compelling
enough to benefit from Samsung's $3 billion 7 recall. It's also packed with
high-end specs, like two rear cameras, a removable battery you can swap when
power gets low, and a stylish aluminum chassis. And while it lost the novelty
of being the "first phone to ship with Android 7.0 Nougat" now that
the Pixels have 7.1 out of the box, it's still great that it has a recent
version of Android.
Whether or not
all these features is enough to bother its rivals (the Samsung Galaxy S7 in
particular), remains the question -- and you can check back soon for CNET's
full review. For now, here are a few things I like and don't like about the V20
after spending some time with it.
