- Hey guys! Today I'm going to be unboxing and taking a look at a brand new LG V20 I bought on eBay. Did I get scammed?
This is a quick impromptu video I made showing the unboxing of the phone. If you'd like a follow up video, please let me know in the comments below.

It's refurbished phone. All accessories are fake. Don't use them if you don't want to have problems (especially charger). Battery is also fake and you'll have to replace it. You will probably have to fix cooling of the processor.
please mention the name of ebay seller from where you've bought V20?
Got renewed unlocked v20 from amazon. So far im pleased it looks brandnew came with box and all accessories. The only problem i got is seller sold it as dual sim version but its only single sim.
I own 2 V20s. Looks real but is a used/refurbished model.
Watching this on 1 of em! ❤ my V20s!
ir blaster,lg email,lg browser still works? how about chrome,youtube,gdrive,gmail and google maps? they still work on older versions?
After not finding a decent replacement, I ordered a replacement v20. Should be arriving this week (my old one was really starting to fall apart).
Get an extended battery. Slipgrip makes great windshield mount/motorcycle/bicycle mounts for the vg 20 with extended battery.
Also, with the extended batteries, keep your original backplate. Cut off the bottom half that covers the battery. Put the top half back on the phone. Then put in your extended battery and it's thick phone cover. The NFC antenna is in the original backplate. This lets you keep NFC.
They sent me a lemon. I ended up swapping motherboards between my old v20 and the new one; putting in fresh thermal paste as well. Working great
did you experienced any bootloop?
Wanted to buy the same one before watching your video. Definetly ref. No way battery was still charged.
Look to me so real. If fake one should resolution round 480x by 800.
Only accessories is replica accept phone which is real deal.
true on the Res part LoL
I had the LG V20. Awesome phone with last model/phone having removal battery. Too bad 4G network is dead so no connection. You got the real one. It's still a shame no LTE but WiFi works
Get a Extended battery and battery charger though be careful as Mine popped up over time so... I wouldn't bother other then get a spare off Amazon
Thanks for leaving a comment! So far, loving my V20, and no issues. I'm thinking about using it as my main phone for awhile just for fun and nostalgia, and might do a video on that soon. My AT&T model actually does have LTE so It works on the network!
@@techshowyt oh OK cool. I bought my V20 on ebay but a t mobile model. What android version did it have? Mine had 8 but I assume AT&T has 9
@@wai4133 No, unfortunately the AT&T model only gets Android 8. I believe the only ones that got 9 were factory unlocked
Only the Korean F800 gets the Android 9 update. I doubt it's a fake. It might be fake new (refurbished, good condition used, etc and fake accessories), but it really is not worth the effort to make a fake V20 and sell it to you for a few bucks.
@@eatsfats8497 That only thing I hate is I bought several batteries but they All pop up over time so it was time to retire
I bought a LG V50 a month ago off Ebay as brand new. I don't think it was a fake as I compared the quad DAC to my LG G8 and they sounded identical in sound with FLAC using IEMS. The phone itself seemed genuine but the accessories such as charger, earbuds were definitely not genuine. I ended up shipping it back anyways.
did u have any random restart and bootloops on you v20?
If the battery is bad its real 🎉🎉🎉🎉 B&O headphones for the quad dac and an fm radio built in is t moblie version ok
did you have any random restart or bootloops now on your lgv20?
@@user-li6ns2lk3z no but the new batteries that I was purchasing were usually 3 years old but advertised as new. If a battery is new and sits on a shelf for 3 years it won't last very long. I finally upgraded to the one plus Nord 30 5 G and I'm very satisfied with the fast charging and it has a headphone jack 8 GB of ram I've been using it as my media system for over 8 months and I'm extremely happy 😁💯 but would love if it has that quad dac 😂 😆
Got mine today. Battery looks used with scuff marks on it.
Phone itself has no scratches, looks pristine. It does have some dust on it. Makes me suspect it is refurbished.
Clean IMEI.
Accessories look pristine and good quality.
Put screen protector film on it just now.
Tomorrow, disassembly with goal to replace thermal paste with a thermal pad.
Then new extended battery.
Then, if all works... take top half of backplate from old one and place that on new phone so I can keep NFC antenna.
Retire old phone to recycler.
The box is different, the original opens kind of like some book.
Looks like the real deal man.
Funny enough those mobiles LG V20 without the IR blaster, as far as I know actually do have it, but you need to remove the thing blocking it and something that has the IR app.... I recall getting things to work although never really used the IR Blaster for much.
Your packaging didn't include the interior cardboard
Real deal!!
Get CPUz it'll tell you the specs of the device, compare them to the real specs and if they match then it's a real device
also run benchmarks on it
loved the video
It’s genuine one brand new old stock bro.
The charger looks like the real thing. I got the original v20 and charger looks the same
any bootloop?
I own one, and the package is definitely not as mine. This looks Fake. This phone is/was great phone. I used it till now, and recently just switched to a Samsung phone
Yeah, It's definitely refurbished, not brand new. All of the accessories, including the box, looked weird
This phone has ir blaster
Probably should just get another LG V20 and fix it with Android 7 - there does not seem to be any replacement for the LG V20.... Which to think about it, is utter ridiculous if you think how old it is.
did you have random restart or bootloops on your lgv20 now?
@@user-li6ns2lk3z Never had issues on that on my LG 20's.... Had 3. But the screens are broken on the 2 I have.
@@darkijah-andersjehovahsn7893 oh what happened on the screen?
@@darkijah-andersjehovahsn7893 will you be able to tell what apps doesnt work? is this still worthit as throwaway phone for overseas vacations?
@@user-li6ns2lk3z Well they broke.... One was fair enough, the other was because the battery was bloating I guess and thereby made the plastic cover break it, or when I took it off.....
The first LG 20 I had, sadly ended up with the screen detaching, yet apparently there is some glue I might have used. Screen was fine, but sadly the glue just did not keep up.
