LG V34: A smaller V20 with IP67 waterproof but Japan only

The V20 is currently the best offering of LG. It’s a mightier Android compared to the G5 but without the Friends. In Japan, they have a slightly better version than comes in a smaller package.

The LG V34 isai Beat gets all the power of the V20 but with added waterproofing thanks to the IP67 certification. It’s also smaller with a main screen size of 5.2-inch — a half inch less than V20’s. Everything else is the same with the secondary always on display, dual rear camera, dual-FoV selfie shooter, built-in quad-DAC, Android 7.0 Nougat, and the Snapdragon 820 processor with 4GB RAM and 32GB expandable storage.

Despite the reduced screen size, LG still managed to fit in a 3000mAh battery. This means LG could have fitted the V20 with a larger cell, though.
