The device body has been made up of lightweight aluminum (AL6013 metal, which is used in aircraft) with Silicone Polycarbonate (Si-PC) on the top and end of the phone that can shield it from external damages. Its resistance level even meets the US Military Standard MIL-STD 810G to endure a drop of up to 1.2 meters. The smartphone features a 5.7-inch Quad HD Quantum display with a resolution 2560 x 1440 pixels with a second 2.1-inch second display with a resolution 160 x 1040 pixels, just like the LG V10. It is powered by a Quad-core Snapdragon 820 processor clubbed with Adreno 530 GPU and 4GB LPDDR4 RAM. It packs in 64GB (UFS 2.0) internal storage, expandable up to 2TB via microSD card. The device (as promoted in the teasers) runs Android 7.0 Nougat with LG UX 5.0+ on top.

LG V20 is the first smartphone to adopt Google’s In Apps that helps users search content from built-in apps – contacts, emails, text messages and photos and other apps. LG claims that in comparison to the V10, the second display on the V20 comes with enhanced visibility, twice the brightness, and 50% larger font size. In the imaging department, the device sports dual 16-megapixel and 8-megapixel rear cameras with former equipped with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) 2.0, F1.8 aperture, dual-tone LED Flash, Laser AF, PDAF, CAF, 75-degree lens, 4K video recording and the latter with f/2.4 aperture and 135-degree lens for taking wide shots. There is a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with f/1.9 aperture, 120-degree wide-angle lens.
