Rumors of LG's V20 successor have appeared online this week, with the new device allegedly called V30, trying to make an impression with some improvements from its predecessor. Bigger curve-edged screen and higher resolution seem to be some of the features that LG will try to grab the attention of consumers.

The new premium device will be LG's answer to Samsung's Galaxy S8 in an effort to increase market presence in the US and globally. According to our US Smartphone Vendor Market Share report LG climbed to number 5 in the unlocked smartphone market share in Q2 2017.

The new V30 device, if true, can help LG climb up even higher in the ranking in the competitive US market.
