The V20, LG Electronics’ newest smartphone that sets a new baseline for multimedia capabilities in smartphones, is now available across all Jumbo Electronics showrooms and leading hypermarkets.
Since its public unveiling last month, the V20 has collected a strong portfolio of positive reactions from industry insiders who appreciated the smartphone’s design and feature-rich specifications.
The V20 is designed for users who want to create professional-looking content and differentiates itself from competing devices with its professional-grade visual and audio features.
When it comes to video recording, the V20’s Steady Record 2.0 neutralises shaky images using both electronics image stabilisation built into Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor in addition to digital image stabilisation in post-processing. To ensure high quality audio, the V20 captures sound using 24-bit/48 kHz Linear Pulse Code Modulation, the same format used in professional video equipment.
The V20 also supports optimal playback with Hi-Fi Quad DAC to minimise distortion and noise by up to 50%, a first for a smartphone. Its HD Audio Recorder gives users the power to create studio-quality recordings using three high Acoustic Overload Point microphones to capture sound with a wider dynamic frequency range. In designing the V20’s audio features, LG collaborated once again with renowned European audio brand B&O PLAY, the company within Bang & Olufsen that develops innovative portable audio products.
Armed with front-and rear cameras, the V20 can take wide-angle photographs with rear-facing 135-degree and front-facing 120-degree lens. Hybrid Auto Focus delivers optimal picture sharpness while Auto Shot simplifies selfies with a face detection feature that triggers the shutter.
The V20 is the world’s first smartphone to offer Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box and it is also the first to include Google’s In Apps search feature. The V20 blends chic style with high durability through the generous use of lightweight and strong AL6013 aluminium alloy while the top and bottom contact points are reinforced with Silicone Polycarbonate for compliance with the US military’s MIL-STD 810G Transit Drop Test for
durability.
The smartphone also offers a unique feature called Signature Wallpaper, which recognises the first character of the text entered on the V20’s Second Screen and offers a collection of wallpaper designs that display the initial letter, number or symbol as the phone’s lock screen wallpaper.
“Today’s users aren’t just consuming and sharing content, they’re savvy enough to create it as well,” said C V Rappai, director and CEO, Video Home & Electronic Centre.
“The V series originated from this insight that LG needed to design a device that could not only keep up with this segment of the audience but be able to anticipate their needs and stay a few steps ahead of them. I am proud to say that the V20 meets these expectations on all fronts.”
The LG V20 is available for QR2699 with a smart flip case worth QR 199 free.
