The South Korean giant will be betting heavily on the LG V20 to revive the smartphone business after the flagship LG G5 was not very well received in the global markets. LG also reported a total operating loss of roughly $132 million in the second quarter of 2016.

The LG event is scheduled for Tuesday and will take place in San Francisco. Stay tuned to Gadgets 360 for the launch of the LG V20.
