The V10 and V20 were well received by those they catered to, but that wasn't a large portion of the consumer base. The devices were big compared to their competitors and not as good looking either.

The ability to replace the battery was a compromise with the devices' durability as they lacked water resistance, which for most didn't justify the benefits.

The LG V10 in had a tiny extra display above the main display, so you could see icons or the time so, just like the main display? The LG G5 in had a removable bottom that enabled a modular accessory ecosystem.
