LG V20 Design and Build
LG V20 doesn’t follow the design language of the V10 or the G5, it follows the composite design language of both the aforementioned smartphones. LG has blended the design and build of the G5 and V10 together to build the V20. The V20 looks a bit like the G5 and also reflects the V10 design in it. The V20 is an all-aluminium smartphone which makes it look premium and also gives it an elite feel. LG has used the MIL-STD-810G standard for the shock resistant of its latest flagship.
The V20 doesn’t follow the modular footsteps of the G5. LG V20 still has a removable battery which may attract masses. The modular button now helps to pull off the back panel for removing the battery.
