LG is looking for the unveiling of its new flagship smartphone this Sept. 6, which will be the first non-Nexus smartphone to run Android Nougat out of the box.
Through a leak posted by mobile leaker Evan Blass on his Twitter account, an image displays a rather "bland-looking smartphone with an uncluttered home screen devoid of any duplicate apps and unnecessary bloatware," according to The Verge.
As the successor of the second screen-supported LG 10, LG V20 will also sport a second display, which can be seen running along the top of the screen that could display notifications and other functions. More so, the teaser image released by LG Electronics suggested an even exciting improvement on its upcoming superior audio capabilities that could change the game for other competitors.
Aside from it being the first phone to launch with Android 7.0 Nougat, LG V20 has been confirmed to be the first-ever smartphone in the world to tout a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC, which LG Electronics has teamed up with ESS Technology. This technology will be the cause for a superior audio experience to the device, with B&O Play earphones coming with the device's shipment, Tech Times reported.
"As a technology more typically available in high-end audio equipment, Quad DAC on the V20 will make users feel as if they are carrying around a professional home-audio system on their smartphone," shared CEO of ESS Technology Robert Blair.
It is said that this technology will ensure crisp and clear sound coming from the LG V20, which may produce sounds similar to a live performance. The Quad DAC technology also reduces ambient noise by almost 50 percent when compared to DAC.
In another seemingly accidental leak, phone case maker Ballistic appears to have posted even clearer renderings of the device wrapped in its Elsa Jewel case on. These images give a crisp look at both the front and back of the LG V20, including the rear-facing dual-camera setup and fingerprint reader.
The LG V20 is slated to be unveiled on Sept. 6 on a press event in San Francisco, and the handset is speculated to be available for pre-order on Sept. 14 to be shipped on Sept. 23.
