South Korea's LG Electronics said Monday its upcoming flagship smartphone V20 will feature the latest Android OS "Nougat". V20 will be released in September.
 
"It will be the first Android smartphone to feature the new OS," said Cho Jun-ho, the head of LG's mobile communication division. "V20 will become the new norm for premium smartphones with its improved multimedia features."

LG's V10, released last year, received a positive feedback from consumers for a dual selfie camera, "Second Screen" (an independent notification bar located in the top part of the phone), and an improved 32bit hi-fi digital audio system.

Google announced its new Android OS Nougat at the end of June and started distributing its developers' version. Currently, HTC's Nexus smartphones are being developed to have the Nougat OS, but it won't be released anytime before V20's release.
