LG to boost V20 audio quality with built-in quad DAC

The LG V20 won’t just be the first to get Android Nougat outside of Google’s Nexus program, it’ll also supposedly get another first: a 32-bit Hi-Fi quad digital to analog converter (DAC). The quad DAC will supposedly reduce ambient noise by up to 50 percent and provide you with crisp sound reproduction. With the launch date of the V20 approaching, we’re sure a lot more info will be surfacing and we’ll finally be able to see the phone and if it’s a worthy successor to the V10.

LG’s Android Nougat-based V20 to be unveiled on Sept. 6th in San Francisco

We recently got word that one of the first, if not the first, non-Nexus phone to get Android Nougat would be the LG V20. Now, the successor to the V10 gets a launch date: September 6^th in San Francisco and September 7^th in Seoul, South Korea. It might be a simultaneous launch when you consider time differences or it could be one after the other.

As expected, specs and information are scant at this point and we can only rely on rumours about the device at the moment but Android Community hypothesizes that the V20 might be modular as well with the tagline “Play more” attached to the invite. The modular phone, the G5, when it was launched had the phrase “Life is good if you play more” phrase attached to it. Right now, rumoured specs of the V20 include a possible lower resolution display than the V10, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 or 821 chipset, 32GB or 64GB versions with microSD expansion of up to 256GB, 3GB or 4GB of RAM, and a new 20-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front-facing camera.

LG to out its first Android Nougat-supported smartphone

LG will be one of the first ones out of the gate with a phone that runs on Android Nougat. But they haven’t shown the device yet. LG announced in a press release that the upgrade to the V10, aptly named the V20, will be powered by Android 7.0 Nougat. It’ll supposedly bring “cutting-edge multimedia features” and will give a “distinctive mobile experience” as well as “sets new standard for premium phones for consumers,” Juno Cho, president of LG Electronics and Mobile Communications Company, said in a press release.

But other than that we don’t have any news if it’ll be like the V10 with two selfie cameras and a secondary screen on top. It’s said to come out in Q3 so perhaps they might release it at IFA in Berlin. And with LG announcing an Android Nougat device, that makes us excited that Android’s latest operating system is almost ready to ship out.
