Sorry, I just thought of another question: I listen to alot of my music via my Google Play Music subscription, will the LG V20 provide a better listening experience even with a streaming service like Google Play Music, Spotify etc.?

Thanks all! Now I just have to wait for a release announcement, and then for a local shop to have a display model I'll be able to test! Would the improvement in sound quality be noticeable even with poor to mid-level headphones or earphones?

I’m fairly new to the audiophile world and have yet to delve too deeply in it, so forgive me in advance of my ignorance.   What is the big deal about the specs on the LG V20?  Would those specs theoretically be noticeable at all compared to normal smartphones or iPods/mp3 players?  According...
