The yet-to-be-announced LG V20 smartphone has been leaked in several instances before and has also been seen in multiple leaked purported images. The smartphone is expected to sport a secondary display at the front. The LG V20 will be the successor to the LG V10, which was the company's first smartphone featuring an Always On secondary display and a dual-rear camera setup with a wide-angle lens. We already know that the LG V20 will be the first new smartphone to run Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box, it will sport a Quad DAC, and audio powered by B&O Play, apart from bundled B&O Play earphones.

The South Korean giant will be betting heavily on the LG V20 to revive the smartphone business after the flagship LG G5 was not very well received in the global markets. LG also reported a total operating loss of roughly $132 million in the second quarter of 2016.

The LG event is scheduled for Tuesday and will take place in San Francisco. Stay tuned to Gadgets 360 for the launch of the LG V20.
