LG V20: LG's Next V10? (LG-LS997)

Those numbers look very strong for band 41! This and the iPhone looks pretty nice! Google pixel or Nexus I don't know.

I probably won't consider a Nexus unless it gains Sprint WiFi calling support

Note 7 versus v20 with added focus on signal: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IxqRLUGCEypb0uvQebVGS1ktuQNpr_WWAhwDGBcWTPw/edit?usp=sharing   Basically the Note 7 should be the better B41 phone while the v20 should be better with B25.  Of course nothing beats real world testing.

Anyone getting this device?

I likely will.

I definitely am going to get it on AT&T when it becomes available. The V20 will have access to all of AT&T's spectrum frequency bands here in the Chicago area, which is something like 10x10 low band, 10x10 AWS-1, 10x10 AWS-3, 10x10 WCS, and 15x15 PCS.

Most likely concern is battery life.

Most likely concern is battery life.

Hopefully usage longetivity is the only concern of its "life", no fires to cause an early demise.

 

I went to a local AT&T store Friday. The device was there on display and was much better looking in person than seeing it in photos, except for the bezel, which definitely could have been lessened. However, the device felt less bulky than the V10 did. I preordered the V20 in store while I was there. I'm excited to get it.

I see LG is offering a $200 trade in credit on a phone worth $10+.  Wonder if you can get away with trading in an unactivated phone that Sprint thinks is worth $10+  I did this when I bought my Note 4, though Samsung directly was offering the rebate so they wouldn't know activation status.

 

Is the phone on display in any Sprint stores or Best Buy yet?

Any ideas on the cheapest phone that is worth $10 to Sprint. Hoping for something less than triband.

My old Nexus 5 is only worth $25 to them so they seem to have have high standards.....Best buy also has this deal and they seem to take any phone over $10 value, that may mean sprint or any other carrier.

Turned in my note 7 today to preorder the V20 and to my surprise the local Radio Shack already had 2 in stock and offered me 1 and I took it. It's not a Note 7 but is built very solid and has a beautiful display. Micro sd card slot and removable battery is a nice option and i just couldn't find anything else I was going to be happy with. The tiny always on display is a nice touch also

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
