According to Digital Trends, this is just the first in a series of LG commercials that will essentially be recreations of popular YouTube videos, filmed using the new smartphone.
The V20 includes a 16 megapixel main lens, an 8 megapixel wide angle lens, and high-performance microphones that are supposedly able to capture high quality audio in loud areas. It’s also the only phone that comes ready with Google’s newest Android operating system, Android 7.0 Nougat.
