A redditor who is supposedly a T-Mobile insider posted on Reddit that T-Mobile will begin taking preorders for the LG V20 on september 14 and expects the official release date to be september 23.

Following the success of the LG V10’s audio prowess, the LG V20 will also include a 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC for those users with high-quality headphones. As for the price, it’s set at $650, which is a very surprising number considering an equally high-end Galaxy Note 7 costs around $850.
It’s important to note that the LG V10 was not officially sold in the United Kingdom, and LG has not confirmed that its successor will make it over here either. Instead, the V20 will come with a dual camera setup on the front, just like the V10 from past year.
The aforementioned Reddit user suggests the V20 will go on sale at $650, so in the United Kingdom we could see a lower price point of £500- to £550. Let us know in the comments!
When the V20 arrives, it is expected to operate on the next-gen Android Nougat system. And it could launch within days of Google’s new Nexus phones. He did not specify any details regarding this, but it does suggest the V20 could also offer modular expansion like the G5. And the renders recently released by Android Authority (in collaboration with @OnLeaks and scattered throughout this article) certainly do appear to feature what could be a module release button and a removable bottom. The same guy says that he’s also the evil genius behind Samsung Galaxy Note7’s previously leaked intel regarding the droid’s arrival on T-Mobile, things like bonus items (an enhanced grip+an extra battery or a memory module attachment etc). It may also be encased in a 5.7-inch display and a 1,080p or Quad High-Definition (HD) resolution. Users are able to access favorite apps, functions and notifications on a second screen that’s visible even while the main display is off. Some of these specifications are the USB Type-C Port, a powerful Snapdragon 820 or 821 with 4GB of RAM and 4,000-milliampere hour (mAH) battery.
Other tips point to a 21Mp rear camera and dual-8Mp cameras at the front.

The V20 reportedly measures 7.7mm thick, but 8.8mm over the camera.
