The firmware of the V20 is now full official specification - but this should not be the last word on the subject. Let's start with the basics.
The latest firmware for the  V20 is now full official specification - but this should not be the last word on the subject. Let's start with the basics. The Samsung V30 has the same CPU, the same GPU, and the same RAM as the V20.
And the specs are exactly the same: Snapdragon 835 (exact same as the V20) and 4GB LPDDR4x RAM. There's also a little more in the battery department. The V20 has a 3,000mAh battery, whereas the V30 has a 5,000mAh battery.
However, there are significant differences in the software in both the Samsung V20 and the V30. In particular, there's been a substantial overhaul of the home screen design. All of the apps have been consolidated to one on the home screen, which is better and more convenient for some people.
Remember, if you get a new phone that runs Android, it's what you are going to use. If you've used other handsets in the past, you'll know that Samsung often gets it wrong with its UI, with their TouchWiz design, and that's something that the home screen design is especially bad for. It's always irritating when your screen won't focus on anything else but the home screen itself.
The V20 also has a new approach to camera phones. Gone are the Sony Ericsson-style dual cameras on the back, with two separate cameras for all of the devices. There's just one camera, and you can switch to the other one to take better photos.
This means you can easily share images from one device to another, but you can also remember the old way of taking photographs on your phone. Just press a button, take a picture, then press the button again to make a video.
Of course, Samsung is now putting out phones that run a completely different operating system than before. This is great for power users - people who already have Android installed on their phones and love it. But, this is also great for people who don't care about Google stuff but still want to get the most out of their phones.
That means that you can get a device that doesn't use Google's services but also gets features like Microsoft Exchange and Google Docs. And, you can also get a machine that runs Google Assistant. That means that you can get a device that is not just a Google phone, but also a Google assistant.
Also, note that the firm is bringing out a new version of Android called Nougat. This is not a standard Android upgrade - Nougat is going to bring much faster performance, and many changes that you'll appreciate. That's what's going to make it such a big deal in the market, and so a lot of people will upgrade to the new phone.
So, that's what we've found out so far about the new official full specification of the Samsung V20. There are still some bugs to be ironed out, but it's what most people are going to be getting. While it's not necessarily a significant change, it's going to be a massive improvement for most people who want a real "pure" Android experience.
Now, what is the same is that the Samsung V20 is still a trendy phone. It was one of the top phones of the year in all areas, and it's still a reliable device.
