The V20 also features upgrades to the dual-camera system and second display. Music lovers will probably appreciate LG keeping the headphone jack, and really appreciate the 32-bit hi-fi quad digital-to-analog converters, a notable improvement in sound quality.

LG executives announced the device would be available from the four major US carriers and and reach stores in the fall. Pricing and on-sale date is expected to be announced soon.
