LG V20, or the device now being marketed as a smartphone packed with powerful cameras is being predicted to be released before the year ends.

Tech-savvy people who are eager to buy LG's latest offering might have to wait just a few weeks more. CNET reported that the device is being set for release before the last quarter period of 2016 ends. However, the South Korean company will only make the LG V20 available for selected countries. So far, sources are saying that UK and other European countries are among the places where the device will not be sold.

"If you're in the U.S., South Korea, or selected other countries, the phone will be available to buy," a review written by Digital Trends said.

"If you're in the U.K., or some other European countries, then you're out of luck because LG won't sell you a V20."

The 5.7 inch LG V20 is packed with two rear cameras (16-megapixel/8-megapixel wide) and a wide-angle front-facing camera (5-megapixel), a specification which makes it one of the best buys among users who like taking photos. The device is also the first ever smartphone to run on Google's Android Nougat software, a better feature compared to Samsung's Galaxy Note 7. Other highlights from the device include LG's secondary screen located on top of its regular display, which allows users see their recent apps, notifications, and favorite contacts.

LG has not yet release an official price tag for the V20, but reports are saying that it might cost around $600-$700.
