New LG V20 photo leaks out

Alongside Apple's iPhone 7 series (or is it iPhone 6SE?), the LG V20 is one of the most anticipated new smartphones that are bound to be released in September. While LG shared various details about the upcoming handset, it didn't reveal any images of it. However, renders that allegedly reproduce the LG V20 have already leaked out (here and here), and today we get to see an entirely new photo of the phone (embedded on the left).

Revealed by Evan Blass (whom you may know as @evleaks), the new photo presents the front of the V20, and doesn't contradict the previously seen renders. Like its predecessor - LG V10 - the V20 features a small ticker screen above its main display, though it does not come with a dual front-facing camera. Given Evan Blass' reputation, we're fairly confident that this is what the real LG V20 will look like.

LG tells us that the V20 will offer "the best video and audio experience" - that's thanks to a partnership with B&O Play, plus features like a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC (digital to analog converter) and a dual rear camera (possibly with manual video mode). We also know that the LG V20 will be the world's first smartphone to run Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, as recently confirmed by Google.

LG will officially announce the V20 on September 6, and we assume it's going to release it shortly after that. According to one rumor, the new phone should be available on T-Mobile USA starting September 23, costing $649 off contract. Most likely, other major carriers will also have the V20 in their lineups.
