LG V20
Albeit being a phone packed with capable specs, the LG V20 hasn’t really managed to capture the attention of customers all that much, despite the company’s claims. A recent report claimed that there currently more active Galaxy Note7 units in the wild than LG V20 phones.
If you look at AT&T website, the Galaxy S7 edge has 6,495 consumer reviews, while the LG V20 only 156.
Anyway, the phone is quite capable and it could actually make for a worthy Note7 replacement. The V20 can be picked up from AT&T for $27/month with the 30 month installment plans or for $829 outright. As you can see the LG V20 is a bit more expensive than the Galaxy S7 or even Galaxy S7 edge.
