Just retired the V30 served me well for 6.5 years. Well built. Loved the audio added an external amp for maximizing with planar headphones. Renewed V60 just arrived! Very happy sticking with LG.
I'm having the same problem my v30 is dieing now the battery is struggling and I don't know what phone to get my friend says v60 is old and I should just give in to a new phone but i love the v30 features so thinking of a v60
Some of the reasons you've listed to have the LG V60 are the same reasons I'm holding onto my Galaxy Note 9, my GN9 offers more hardware than today's flagships... headphone jack, SD card, stereo speakers (I know flagships have this today but not with a headphone jack). My only wish is that the GN9 was a tad smaller, 6.4 inch display is pretty big and to think today's flagships are breaking into 7 inch displays. 😯 Nice video 🤠
The unique intangibles this phone possesses makes it difficult to move on from. The DAC, expandable storage, and Manual Camera versatility are nearly impossible to replicate and replace without having to buy extras. For example, I can get a type c 3.5 DAC adapter and a Type c SD card adapter for my other devices but it's a hassle. I'd much rather have a DAC than a high refresh rate that doesn't really add much utility. The ability to capture in RAW in combination with the manual camera controls is still industry leading. Devices are just now catching on. LG was so ahead it's wild
I picked up a Samsung s23 ultra to use as my main phone and was so disappointed by audio. I feel a lot happier going back to the amazing audio LG v60. ESS sabre quad dac, 3.5mm headphone socket, APTX, SD card slot, removable second screen. A fantastic bit of kit even in 2023.
How is the audio recording quality in video? Is it also better than Samsung s23 ultra? How well does it do in this regard compared to today's phones? Years ago, I had a refurbished LG V10 and loved it! It had in-video audio recording options that I don't know of other phones having, like zoom microphone etc. I'm guessing the V60 is even more awesome!
@@edisiljakviolin The V60 has 4 microphones. Audio is stellar. It comes with a great HD audio app recorder as well. When my Mother was in the hospital I recorded the doctors talking and it sounded like they were right there
@@TheAgentAssassinThanks for the comment. I found the audio from the recorder app to be great indeed, but not so much from the video app. I think there are newer phones that perform better in this department, I'd be happy to know which ones exactly (new iPhones for sure) as my use is for recording classical music clips(violin) for Instagram etc. Any thoughts on the best phone in this regard is highly appreciated!
@@edisiljakviolin Did you try manual video mode? In the options try 4k/60fps, Set the bit rate to high, turn on hi-fi setting, then while on the phone video screen tap the hi-fi button, you can control the gain db+/-, LCF to 150hz, LMT, also try turning on HDR+10. Manual video is the way to go. If you're into recording music video then perhaps invest in an external mic.
I miss my V60 but had to give it up because of no more security updates and weak battery. Along with worn out charge port. But I can say for a fact that it was better than this Pixel 8 Pro which freezes up 3 or 4 times a day. Sure wish LG had stayed in the biz.
You remind me of Flossy Carter he is always straight to the point like you are. I really needed a new phone as my current one broke down because it fell in water a little and the screen pixels just glitch like a mf. I'll be making sure to buy this phone as I am not really looking forward any fancy Shi or up to date follow the trend bs. Just need a phone that can do what modern phones can, take calls... Use social media apps and watch the RUclips. Apart from this, I think this is the best option I have, any other phone at this price I was checked out wasn't even close. This is yesterday's technology, and I sure finna get me this phone, Good work man. Standing up for us poor mf who can't afford none of that expensive bs.
Almost got rid of my v60 when charging port issues popped up, months later the issies fixed itself. While it's not my daily driver, it's my back up if anything should happen to my One Plus Open. Im still a LG fan boy at heart.... I honestly still loke the v60 more then my open 🤷.
@@kamrulhassan7185 I honestly have no clue, it wouldn't charge unless I place it in the weirdest position sometimes not at all. I even tried switching charges but nothing worked, I powered it down and put it away. Then months later I had to transfer some photos and BAM, no more charging issues.
I just upgraded my V60 to a pixel 8 pro. Honestly I really can't tell much of a difference. The camera on the pixel is a little better but not a whole lot better. Only reason I upgraded was because the V60 camera had some blue spots on photos and the pixel 8 pro has 7 years of os updates. I just recently replaced the camera on the V60 and I'm going to hold on to it for awhile. I sure miss the expandable storage and aux port
💥💥Sony finally got rid of that weird 21.9 ratio. The Sony Xperia 1 VI is 19.5 and looks way better than that 21.9 they been doing. I was going to get it because of the wider display and SD card and Sony's great music dac built in the phone. It even has a headphone jack which i don't care about but it has it if you need it. Unfortunately Sony said it's not coming to the American market 🤷🏿♂️
Reason 1: a Flagship phone from korea with high-quality iem jack. Stable phone, i like it. There's a bit of android OS bug though luckily I found the solutions to fix it quick😊
The only problem I'm having now is some of the in house LG apps are not working that good anymore. The clock timers sometimes just freezes. When I try to add new contacts sometimes it says "app crashed". Also the LH health app is pretty much dead now.
Headphone Jack & SD CARD are mandatory...I'm still working wit the note 8 and 9 😎👍 does this phone have display port to have hdmi to tv by screen mirroring?
Went to replace my S3 and the LGg4 was better than Samsung or the expensive Apple tiny screen brick phone. Been with LG ever since. Have the v60... recently put in a new battery and charge port and its like new.
Hi, Vernon. May I check with you? When viewing PDF file, are pages 1 & 2 shown on screens then when flip the page, 3 & 4 shown and so on? Hoping for your reply. Thanks
I still have my V60 in fact my wife is using it now she loves it I tried giving her the iPhone 14 plus and she hated it she wanted the V60 back

I wish my GN9 would be still working. It stopped working bc of green screen issues. So I switched to the LG V60. 😢I miss GN9.
That's shitty, so far my GN9 has not suffered the same fate. What I'm struggling to do is find a new, decent batter for it.@@johncreasy7928
Great
One of best tech youtubers i have ever seen😊
100% Agreed! 👏🏼👍🏼
Really miss Lg they were the only ones that took risk tried new stuff now every phones is the same every year nothing new at all.
Very true
LG V60 is great. But here's one reason to not pick it up... the charging port issue which I personally ran into awhile back.
Sorry to hear that. I've never had that issue and I use the charging port all the time. You can always charge it wirelessly
I had the same issues then oddly enough. about 2/3 months later without using the phone, it randomly fixed itself.
@@vernonleewarren280 also, since when has the V60 been sold unlocked? The only versions I've ever seen were for either for ATT or T-Mobile
@grayaquatics852 I wouldn't have said it if it wasn't true. Check on Amazon my friend
@@grayaquatics852Mine was unlocked At&t. Never had a problem.

I am Korean and lg v60 has not been officially released in my country. I want to buy it in the US or Canada, but I want to know the purchasing site
Amazon.com or eBay.com
I recently bought mine on Alixpress for around 200 had no problems at all.
Buy from Hong Kong!😊

Yes! That's it! Thank you 😆
Keep up the good work vernon Lee I like your videos
Thank you. I appreciate it 👍

Still Awesome!
I have this it is great im from Pakistan
Does it still get security updates??? Honestly do security updates really help you not get hacked?? Im tempting to get this LG phone
Gotta say .. finally had to stop using. On att. Issues with cell tower switching. Still using for yt videos etc but had to retire the v60
Understood
I agree there's no way sooner devices should be gone for over $1,000 they're killing the average person that isn't going to buy it for that price
My wireless charger works with the case on
you can customize it so that doesn't show. choose the black bar across top and everythin will show except that
Some of the app will not be compatible with this device. Keep that in mind.
Know what I mean Vern?!
damn $164 alarm clock 😂
I want to get the Lg Velvet but, I can't find a dual screen case anywhere.
Ive got both ,watching this video on it now,, superb..
It's called a Widows peak by the way lol
Depends on how steep it is, it can be called the Batman also 😂
The only problem I'm having now is some of the in house LG apps are not working that good anymore.
The clock timers sometimes just freezes. When I try to add new contacts sometimes it says "app crashed".

Watching on lg v50 will gonna buy v60 next. Lg quit making phone thats sad 😢
That's still my favorite v50 ❤

Doesn't power on, no response to button presses, even plugged in.
So, I'm suddenly in the market for a new phone.

Try replacing the charging port.
