LG's new flagship V20 will retail for $769

The successor to the V10 officially goes on sale October 28th.

We got our hands on LG's Android Nougat-equipped V20 last month and found a solidly built (if somewhat conservative) new flagship device. Now that the V20 is getting ready for its public debut on October 28th, we can finally nail down how much this thing costs: at launch, a full retail price V20 can be yours for a cool $769.

That price comes from T-Mobile's pre-order page so your mileage may vary depending on your carrier and plan. On AT&T, for example, it'll end up costing around $830 total if you go for the AT&T Next Every Year plan and pony up the $35 monthly installments for 24 months.

The V20 packs a 5.7-inch Quad HD main display (plus a second display for notifications), Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage and a two-camera setup that combines an 8-megapixel wide-angle sensor with a second 16-megapixel sensor. So, at the lower end of the pricing options, that puts LG's first Android 7.0 Nougat phone roughly on par with a 64GB iPhone 7 (and, for what it's worth, the V20 comes with a headphone jack). On the other hand, it'll cost you about $120 more than a baseline Google Pixel with comparable specs. Either way, expect that $769 price to translate to the rest of the market and look for Engadget's full review when we've had a chance to play around with a final production model.
