USB Type-C is now present, and the IR transmitter remains so you can control all of your infrared products. I haven't yet performed a full camera test yet, since we often see camera software tweaks just before retail release, and I want to make sure to test the camera you will see on shipping units. The removable battery and microSD card remain, while we now see two cameras on the back and one wide-angle camera on the front. A metal back is used to provide a premium feels, with hard plastic positioned at the top and bottom to help the LG V20 pass the MIL-STD 810G drop test. The LG V20 brings over much of what we saw in the LG V10 in a sleeker form factor. I like big phones, and I honestly loved the LG V10 with its unique Dura Skin back cover, stainless steel side rails, useful secondary display, excellent cameras, and removable battery. Also, the longer I use the LG V20 (with the Note 7 now returned to T-Mobile), the possibility that I'd go for the V20 rather than the Note 7 increases. Similar to previous LG phones, the more I use it, the more I like it.

That said, the press is allowed to post some first impressions. Full reviews are not allowed until official review units are shipped closer to official carrier release. The LG V20 was announced last week, and LG sent along a global preview unit for me to test until retail versions are ready. Facebook is peddling a creepy new message from Meta.IBM launches 127-qubit Eagle quantum processor.Windows 10 is a security disaster waiting to happen.
