It seems like LG’s not finished with modular telephones — even after the shaky reception to the G5 — as revealed by new render leak.
LG could also be set to proceed its modular experiment if freshly leaked renders of the upcoming V20 are any indicator. The CAD renders of the telephone, given by Steve Hemmerstoffer (a.okay.a @onleaks) to Android Authority present a design that is largely a mash-up of G5 and V10 parts.
A much bigger, boxier G5 with a secondary ticker show.
If the renders are correct — and Hemmerstoffer has an honest monitor document right here — then we’re taking a look at a extra angular handset than the G5, however with an identical dual-lens digital camera setup across the again, a bigger show (estimated across the 5.6 to five.7-inch mark) and secondary ticker show, together with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. However the actual shock? It is wanting more and more probably that the V20 shall be LG’s second modular telephone.
The renders present a G5-style launch change on the underside proper aspect of the telephone, and what seems to be a clear be a part of between the underside part of the telephone and the physique. It positive seems like we’re in for an additional LG telephone with swappable modules.

A modular V20 could seem a shock after the decidedly lackluster performance of the G5, however then once more the V20 would’ve been far alongside in improvement by the point gross sales of that telephone started. Regardless, we will in all probability all agree that LG wants some extra compelling modular choices if it is to compete with Samsung’s almighty Note 7
Apparently, the renders solely seem to point out one front-facing selfie digital camera, versus the duo of lenses on the V10. The telephone can also be presupposed to be precisely as thick because the G5, measuring 7.7mm by way of, apart from the eight.8mm-thick digital camera bump. All issues being equal, that ought to imply we’ll get a much bigger battery than the three,000mAh capability shared by the G5 and V10, however different specs stay unclear.
The LG V20, lately introduced as the primary telephone operating Android 7.0 Nougat out of the field, shall be officially unveiled at an event in San Francisco on Sept. 6.
