The world’s first new Android 7.0 Nougat phone – LG V20 has been now launched in India on Dec 5th at a “spectacular” event in Delhi at Sky Lounge, Royal Plaza.
This phone is a complete package having high quality audio+ terrific camera+ durable metal body!
This Monday I attended the launch party of LG V20 at Sky Lounge, Royal Plaza, Delhi. After creating an enormous buzz in the US market LG V20 is all set to enter the Indian market. I was excited to get the first look of this phone and play with it. Along with influencers, there were famous media houses at the venue to cover this event and I also got to see “Gadget Guru” Rajiv Makhani there.
Amit Gujral, Marketing head of LG Electronics kick started the event. He briefed about the key features of LG V20 phone. While this session was going on their team kept 2 phones on each table. We unboxed the phone and tried that out. Amit told that this phone has got the dual rear camera and wide angle front lens, this helps in capturing wide angle shots which mean now you can click groupfies along with selfies.
To show the military strength and he asked us to drop the phone from a height. How can someone take this risk of spoiling 40 phones! We dropped the phone and to my surprise, it did not break, the screen was safe & secure without even a single scratch.
Rajiv Makhani took over the stage and shared his opinion for LG V20. He played videos which highlighted key features like Hi-Fi video recording, image/video stabilizer, and studio quality sound.
After introduction round we played “LGV20 Challenge”, we were asked to perform 2 tasks using different phones and do the comparison.
Task 1:
We were asked to click selfies of the group using different phones so that we can do the comparison. We clicked and compared groufie clicked by iphone6, HTC and LG V20. Pic clicked by V20 covered entire group and stood out as the winner.
Task 2:
We were asked to record a song sung by a person from a distant place and analyze the quality of recorded sound on the phone. LG V20 came out as a clear winner in this task too.
Task 3: Teams were asked to create a tagline for the phone. Winning team members won Amazon vouchers worth Rs.2000.
At the end of the event, Amit announced a bumper offer for all of us. 5 lucky ones who will buy this phone on the spot will receive 50% off and within a second there were 5 people ready to buy this phone. 5 Phones sold in 5 mins!! This shows that this beast is going to get a tremendous response from the market.

What’s in it for me:
This phone comes with B&O headset, which individually ranges from 18k to 20k. With the 5.7-inch display, dual rear camera, studio quality audio recordings and 5 MP front lens this phone’s perfect for people who want to capture more!
