I have two, T-Mobile and At&t and about to buy one for Verizon. Covering all the carriers here in the US. The phone is great. I also have the dual screen case for it which opens up a lot more features for it. It also has active stylist support and desk top mode, like Dex for Samsung. Well rounded phone! Love it

To be fair, the LG phone MARKETING team should do better like their appliances marketing team. I wouldn't even know the LG phone's greatness if I didn't check out YT channels who are still updating to this day.
Couldn't agree more. I do have to import one since LG phones aren't officially available in my country, but that didn't stop me from owning one. Now, I'm a proud owner of both the V50 and the Wing.
I have the LG V60...but I got the S22 Ultra back in March 2022...As of February 2023 I decided to move back to my old LG v60 for a few reasons... 1. The LG V60 still has better battery life, I get consistent 8-9 hours screen on time. Compared to the s22 Ultra that gives me 5-6 hours, and thats on FHD+ and 60hz setting. 2. I still prefer photos taken on the V60. The S22 Ultra colors are more saturated and dont have Ultra Wide Correction. Also shutter lag on the S22 Ultra is anoying and its an expensive phone to have that problem. 3. The V60 still has more powerful speakers compared to the weaker s22 Ultra. 4. I got a 1TB Sandisk Ultra Pro SD card for cheap that I put in my V60. But using the s22 Ultra for about 11 months then jumping back to the V60, I actually like the more natural colors on the V60. And going down from 1440p screen to a 1080p screen isn't really noticeable to me.
I would have bought one, but went with OnePlus 9. It's a true banger of a phone! I wished LG didn't give up. They have been one of my favorites! I was really looking forward to the V70
They just released i new tablet maybe they are testing the waters if nokia and htc gave it i nother try i dont se way lg cant. Sorry for the bad inglish 😁
Great video! 32-Bit Hi-Fi QuadDAC, Expandable Storage, 3.5mm jack and a huge battery. That's why it's so beloved. The screen is sharp and brilliant. It's fast, really fast. The camera is tack-sharp. If you use manual mode, not much beats it.
@@iseerashonal821 Android 12 was always good for me on the V60. I now have Android 13 and it's been faster and just as stable. I don't expect Android 14, but you never know because LG can surprise you. I just ordered an iPhone 15 Plus on my family plan for my sister. After promotions it will cost $400, divided into 24 monthly plan bill credits. Good deal! She's in that ecosystem so it's good for her. I couldn't go that way because I use the 32-bit Hi-Fi QuadDAC, expandable storage and 3.5mm jack everyday.
I got one of these a few months ago for about $230 mainly as a music device and backup phone. The speakers are louder than any phone I had. This is great for people who keep uncompressed music files on SD cards and wired quality headphones.
Thick bezels? Noticable chin? Dude, I own a LG V60 and I'm very happy with my pocket rocket . The 60 Hz / 1080p display is smooth, sharp and coupled with the 5,000 mAmp battery, the phone lasts a long time on a single charge... Marketing is the key. My hope is that LG has learn from past mistakes and eventually start making cell phones again someday.

For the kinds of things LG customers value, every other phone is gonna be a downgrade in some area. I have 274GB of storage used on my V60, so ya know, most phones are useless to me without a card slot. Xiaomi 12T, OnePlus 10T, S22 Ultra (unless I payed a kidney).. need I go on? There's nothing that can replace the V60, not even 2 years later. The headphone jack is absolutely amazing. Wouldn't give that up either. Battery life is legendary- literally no replacement for that. There's just nothing better not even almost 3 years later.
@@SICERIKTECH well, if there's nothing better, why would I get a new one, aka a downgrade in some area? If I buy a V8 truck because it goes fast, say it was the last V8 truck ever made, I'm not gonna buy a new truck 5 years later. That would be ridiculous.
Ive had the V20, V40, and Im on the V50 now waiting on the V60 I just ordered. I love these phones, the only thing I wish they would have kept was the second little screen at the top.
pls how does the amoled quality of the v60 stack up quality wise? I don't mind 1080p but are they using a very high quality panel like the one in Galaxy Note 10+?
I agree. 120hz refresh rate or a dead battery? The V60 was the total package for sure. While Samsung was racing to the bottom chasing Apple by ripping out features LG build a complete uncompromised device. The better phone lost.
I've accidentally dropped mine from almost 20 feet (in a SUPCASE) and broke the screen protector and it still works like the day I bought it. Love the damn thing and I'll keep it as long as it's alive and kicking. Oh, and my battery still lasts over a day with regular use. Oops, forgot that I can't use the USB port anymore, which quit about a month ago but fast wireless charging charges it fast enough for me.
I love my V60. I had the V20 way back in the day and went V30 V40 V60 after that. I have no idea what my next phone will be now that LG left the smartphone market. I loved all the innovation the V20-40 brought, and even the V60 has a unique host of features you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere Edit: to answer your closing question, I love my phone because on my trip to iceland in 2019, I was one of the only people able to capture pictures of the northern lights with my phone because of the sensor and the manual camera mode. It has 4 built in microphones for awesome live sound recording, expandable storage, the headphone jack is negotiable but really comes in handy when diving into audio recordings with good headphones, the 5g capability is a huge bonus, they replaced the ir blaster (which I loved) with whole home lg smart device connectivity (control everything from your phone), ip68 rating, and all at a good price. The closest comparable phone I have seen is the sony xperia which is much more expensive
I'm on the same boat, i don't know what other phone to get, I would like something with same feature.. Like screenshot button on the navigation bar....
Steady rocking my V60. Why get rid of it when it's getting Android 13 and has PHENOMENAL audio and gaming 😊 love this phone, just need to upgrade to a QC 4+ charger and upgrade my wifi which gets 2 out of 5 bars 🥴
The v60 is a phenomenal phone! We love it because of a huge display, the 3.5 headphone jack. A must for audiophiles or musicians, bluetooth has too much latency to use wireless headsets. Micro SD expansion. The performance is exceptional.
I started with V10, V20, V30, V40 (missed V50 as LG didnt took care to land it at EU) and. Now Im babying my EU version of V60 like my own child. If anything happens to my V60 - it will be a huge loss, as even at the start of Y2023 there is no real alternative to it...

My wife asked what phone do I want to upgrade to that has a great built-in audio listening experience for my headphones and takes an sd card. Nothing, there's literally nothing out there for that anymore lol. There's a whole combination of requirements that only the V60 hits and as long as it still maintains the performance I want. There's just no reason to move on. There might be moondrop's phone but hardware qa and software is not their strong point and who knows how well it'd work in the US.
I’m getting another LG V60 in a few days. I have used the V10, V20, V30, skipped the V40 and V50 and used the LG V8 and then went to the V60 until June 2022 when I switched to the IPhone 13 Promax. Miss my V60, so I’m giving my iPhone to my son and picking up with the V60 until it gets outdated. Wish LG still made phones!
Lg makes smartphone better than Samsung. Lg provide best in everything like display, audio, design, camera, hardware etc. You don't forget that Lg provide the best audio than any other phone. Only youtubers can make mistake on video and then people believe it. I think they don't know how to proper review a phone on that price. Only professionals youtubers know this. They wants more on that price. Like they want flagship iPhones under 300$.
Listen, sometimes I want to throw it out the window, yes the Bluetooth gets choppy and every now and then and the charging port sucks, not only for charging but connecting to my truck through Android Auto. but then, every time I look for a new device, they're only marginally better in some areas but lack headphone jack, removable storage, huge screen and most of all, a good price. So yeah, I'm sticking to it
About 5 years ago my Galaxy S5 broke unexpectedly and I had to get something to replace it quickly... After quickly looking at the phones my carrier was offering, I narrowed it down to the Galaxy S8 or the LG G6. I bought the G6 even though the salesman basically told me I was crazy for passing on the new Galaxy. I'm so glad that I didn't listen to those people ! I used and enjoyed my G6 for like, 5 years until two months ago we HGH eb
When I had to replace it due to the charging port wearing out, I HAD to replace her. So after looking at EVERYTHING that is out there, I'm back to LG with the V60... There's simply not another phone even today that has the amazing combination of features the V60 has! I couldn't find ANY other phone with wireless charging, expandable memory ( a MUST for me), Headphone jack, and MIL standard drop resistance as well as dust and water resistance! ONLY the V60 ThinQ 5 G can boast that! I'm just going to hope LG comes back before my V60 dies, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The best phone I ever had:) and I have had lots of phones, the video quality the best of all the phones , LG V6O made me happy almost 2 years now, it works great 👍in every aspect, specialty when I put my second screen people be like what? 😉🤣. It's super fast , and it does what all other $$$$ phones do . So why spend $1000s 🤣 . I wish LG will continue.
Because it's a great piece of hardware that went completely under the radar until it was already too late because LG couldn't market their phones properly. Still believe LG had the best haptic feedback of any Amdroid phone.
If , since I am witnessing the 855 and 855+ on my 2 pixel 4xls and my one plus 7t, never stutter. They run android 13 amazing. No stutters. Albeit the 7t is custom android 13 AOSP it is super fast. No heating stalls. That means the 865 is even better. I think these will last a long time. Great video. I'm thinking about picking one of these up for 140 very good condition. Ebay refurb. Hahah.
See I would have approached this much differently, firstly LG Flagship devices still have features and Hardware advantages current devices still ignore. The quad DAC, the four high-def microphones, the manual controls and flexibility on the entire camera system, the speakers are one Watt balanced surround sound. The expandable storage alone separates it. The battery life being 5 000 m a h. The video camera capabilities in combination with those amazing microphones make for some of the best audio separation I've ever heard on a phone. I know 8K is considered a gimmick but the fact you can get 24 frames per second at the same time is still way ahead of multiple high-end camera systems. LG was doing 4K 60 way ahead of everybody else.
Might keep my LG V60 ThinQ 5G UW until like 2023 or 2024. My first two phones, the iPhones 5S and 6S lasted me from 2016 to 2018, and then I switched to Android with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Kept that one for nearly 3 years.
I heard that LG do nerf the chip set, I want to buy the v60, but kept getting discouraged by people. I want to use it for gaming. Can you recommend It for me?
I've had the V10,V20,V30,V40 & now the V60 Dual Screen,Since day one of it's launch(Tmobile). LG left us with a GREAT phone... Still better than alot of newer phones
I bought lg g8x and as it got updated to android 12,it laggs whenever i enables flightmode,data,wifi and some other,if you were at my place you would have flashed it but i can't afford to
Still love it because, I got it on full bright since I got it and 😱😱😱 NO BURN IN 😱😱, speakers are crazy, it's a tank, and games don't scale pass 60fps, battery is a monster PRICELESS
I bought LG V60 because I saw it from my friend, the display and dual sound are beautiful, and the camera is just right, the photos are vivid, and the photos are truly taken at 64 megapixels. Now I bought acesories for dual screen, this is okay because if you want to have dual screen, you just put v60 and you can have dual screen. I love it
Photos are more accurate. Apple/Samy love to over saturate their camera's. Another thing overlooked is the microphone performance (4 of them!!). I mean Samsungs sound like total garbage in comparison. If you like taking videos this is a big deal. Plus the headphone with quad dac is really something else. Use my high impedance sennheisers and it drives them nicely. Nothing on the market can currently do that. Even the 1600 dollar sony can't drive high impedance headphones.
@@HiPlains1 Even if there is no LG phone anymore, it's still trendy because of the dual screen timing because foldable phones are coming out. LG is still stunning and there is an update, soon there will be a V70 when LG comes back
barring the resolution, pls tell me if the amoled panel quality between both phones are similar? how do they compare? i am looking at getting a V60. I have seen the Note 10+ display and it is top notch
Erik you had me laughing over here when you said you can throw the V60 at someone and kill them in the phone will still be working. But no joke you drop this on somebody's head they going to get a concussion🤣🤣🤣
Great phone except that the Hotspot keeps disconnecting network service. I have two LG v60 phones and both had the same problem. Works fine on my lg8. Switch over to galaxy s20 ultra and no problems with Hotspot. LG v60 however has more customization than the galaxy which I miss.
Camera has an awesome user-friendly manual mode (yes, you can fully control your image capture!) and shoots in RAW which is unique and very useful for creative people. Quad DAC is amazing. Highly functional dual screen case with magnetic rapid charging adapter. Expandable memory up to 2TB. And the irresistible part is we got EVERYTHING for half the price of the competitors' flagships. LG Mobile was the best brand available before they closed operations. In my opinion, Apple and Samsung are good, but highly overrated for their inflated cost. Also, LG was found to have a more ethical manufacturing process than the larger companies.
I bought it used from US with the 2nd screen but it could not work for some reason with the local service provider, I tried 2 different ones before having to send it back, I thought about keeping it as a tablet but it would have been greatly diminished usability for the price. Major Bummer at the time.
For battery life, audio quality, and price there is no competition to this phone. Expandable memory, best audio quality, and best battery life for half the cost of other flagship phones.
I just bought another one online to replace my Motorola stylus I missed it so much I got it for $168 in classy blue and near perfect condition I have another one here at the house but it got into an accident it has everything that you need
hello really need some help, my verizon lg v60 UW doesnt have themes downloadable, it only has My Themes, and no Recommended (also it doesnt have the apps button below) im hard stuck on this goofy lg dark theme TvT
Hi everyone, Hows the sound output through 3.5mm jack compared to lg v40, lg v60? ESS sabre dac is there but which one sounds better? Does it have low sound issue? Like in v40 you have to use a dongle to trick into high gain... Is v60 tuned by meridian audio house?
Hearing you talking negatively by the v sexy. You can tell it's hard for you to say the words ... You would also get wireless charging my galaxy a 54 has bi wireless cha4ge it's plastic sides but It's got a beautiful display and a 1380 accidents. Ship is no slouch it's improved vastly over the twelve eighty
I go to a lot of music events and sometimes people ask me what phone i have bc they see my recordings. Then i ask em what phone they have (iphone). No doubt iphone records better heavy live bass though. Crazy battery life too. Same music event story..1000s of ppl were stuck outside a music festival ordering Uber with dying phones while i still had 30% after recording videos at the event. I love this phone so much my charge port is messed up a little that im willing to drop another 300 for one instead of buying a new charge port part and risk the tight seal and breaking something (sort of an excuse to have to 2, one for emulation gaming with a dual screen one day maybe)
Did you know that the latest update gives you a little Material you theming kinda like the OnePlus 9 does.It don't change the icons but it changes the color of the app IE messages,phone dialer,calendar etc etc the Google apps that is.Pretty cool
don't forget the LG g and v series mics ( people still remember the Nokia Lumia series mics ) ... ruclips.net/video/XXvh8T-sJ14/видео.htmlsi=fFjj79pXpcdCQpZG ( note "hi-fi" mics with video active in "manual video" only ). The hi-fi audio bitrate is around 7.5 mbps!
Still using my lgv20 5 years on. Changed battery a couple of times, charging port dead, gsm service dead, 3.5mm dead, but everything else still works and rocks. Screen still not broken, with no screen guard. Best audio production from any mobile phone, wether streaming Bluetooth or wired audio. Still want to buy an lg v60 just to use as a multimedia piece.
I have the LG 20 as well only reason I stop using it was it was not receiving any more updates or security updates. I take it you are not concerned with that?
I just bought the 3rd V60. I tried moving on to other newer phones . it's nothing out there that satisfy my needs, mostly the sound and 3.5mm jack. Great display,fast, decent camera, great speakers, and the sound is just amazing with the quad dac.
One of the best phones ever made. LG left us on a good note.
The biggest problem is LG left us!
Agreed

I agree. 120hz refresh rate or a dead battery? The V60 was the total package for sure. While Samsung was racing to the bottom chasing Apple by ripping out features LG build a complete uncompromised device. The better phone lost.
Nothing else compares to the v60, even at the end of 2022. Everything else is $1300 with less features
So true!
I've accidentally dropped mine from almost 20 feet (in a SUPCASE) and broke the screen protector and it still works like the day I bought it. Love the damn thing and I'll keep it as long as it's alive and kicking.
Oh, and my battery still lasts over a day with regular use.
Oops, forgot that I can't use the USB port anymore, which quit about a month ago but fast wireless charging charges it fast enough for me.
The USB port on mine also gave out but everything else is awesome . I did end up getting a pixel 6 pro but still have my V60 as a backup phone
Local Repair Centre managed to clean my usb port and it works again!
V30 G8 V60 ohh and the legendary G2 until the wheels fall off!!!!
I love my V60. I had the V20 way back in the day and went V30 V40 V60 after that. I have no idea what my next phone will be now that LG left the smartphone market. I loved all the innovation the V20-40 brought, and even the V60 has a unique host of features you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere
Edit: to answer your closing question, I love my phone because on my trip to iceland in 2019, I was one of the only people able to capture pictures of the northern lights with my phone because of the sensor and the manual camera mode. It has 4 built in microphones for awesome live sound recording, expandable storage, the headphone jack is negotiable but really comes in handy when diving into audio recordings with good headphones, the 5g capability is a huge bonus, they replaced the ir blaster (which I loved) with whole home lg smart device connectivity (control everything from your phone), ip68 rating, and all at a good price. The closest comparable phone I have seen is the sony xperia which is much more expensive
I'm on the same boat, i don't know what other phone to get, I would like something with same feature.. Like screenshot button on the navigation bar....
Next phone a backup V60...
@@Sir_Packer_the_1st I might just get the battery in mine replaced and keep rocking it
@@Fincabaracoa Yes, such an easy thing to add that screenshot button but no one else has it
Im still using the v20. Had it 7 years now
Steady rocking my V60. Why get rid of it when it's getting Android 13 and has PHENOMENAL audio and gaming 😊 love this phone, just need to upgrade to a QC 4+ charger and upgrade my wifi which gets 2 out of 5 bars 🥴
The v60 is a phenomenal phone! We love it because of a huge display, the 3.5 headphone jack. A must for audiophiles or musicians, bluetooth has too much latency to use wireless headsets. Micro SD expansion. The performance is exceptional.
The best package all around. There really is no such as thing as "Master of none" as MKBHD titled his LG G8 review video.
I started with V10, V20, V30, V40 (missed V50 as LG didnt took care to land it at EU) and. Now Im babying my EU version of V60 like my own child. If anything happens to my V60 - it will be a huge loss, as even at the start of Y2023 there is no real alternative to it...
I had the V10, V20, V30, and V40 as well. I baby all my phones lol.
I also noticed that when you watch RUclips if you click on 1440 or 2100 it still works clear 💯
Hifi DAC & Headphone jack. The CAMERA😍
It's crazy to think that no other smartphone that can do 8K/30fps HDR10 video, and yet LG can give it to the V60 since day one.
I will get one for Christmas this year ! I'm big LG fan ....

To my knowledge, there isn't a smartphone that can do this at present time and l believe in 2023 as well.
My wife asked what phone do I want to upgrade to that has a great built-in audio listening experience for my headphones and takes an sd card. Nothing, there's literally nothing out there for that anymore lol. There's a whole combination of requirements that only the V60 hits and as long as it still maintains the performance I want. There's just no reason to move on. There might be moondrop's phone but hardware qa and software is not their strong point and who knows how well it'd work in the US.
I’m getting another LG V60 in a few days. I have used the V10, V20, V30, skipped the V40 and V50 and used the LG V8 and then went to the V60 until June 2022 when I switched to the IPhone 13 Promax. Miss my V60, so I’m giving my iPhone to my son and picking up with the V60 until it gets outdated. Wish LG still made phones!
You should get another year of good use ☺️ and them some
I love this phone. I'm definitely keeping mine. Expandable storage is a must for me. And I love those speakers and that display
Lg makes smartphone better than Samsung. Lg provide best in everything like display, audio, design, camera, hardware etc. You don't forget that Lg provide the best audio than any other phone. Only youtubers can make mistake on video and then people believe it. I think they don't know how to proper review a phone on that price. Only professionals youtubers know this. They wants more on that price. Like they want flagship iPhones under 300$.
I'm getting a LG V60 Unlocked open from ebay and I'm putting on a 1 yearbprotection plan on it and it's under $300 bucks
My wish, my dream, my desire..all wrapped in one: #LGV60.
I so want this machine!
Same. But my g6 is still holding on to dear life.
Just sitting in a parking lot about to buy one with the dual screen for $150
That's a good deal, and with the dual screen!
DEC 2022 still have my baby, 64 mp ain't no joke, video and pictures are amazing.
This chip gets around 600,000 points at AnTuTu and that's even better any media phone nowadays. Plus panel and cameras don't have complain.
I wish that LG would realize how their phones are loved and come back to the the market.
"omg a notch" meanwhile hole punch cutting into 18*9 video even more.. what a dumb thing to say
$140 on eBay - 11/16/22
Listen, sometimes I want to throw it out the window, yes the Bluetooth gets choppy and every now and then and the charging port sucks, not only for charging but connecting to my truck through Android Auto. but then, every time I look for a new device, they're only marginally better in some areas but lack headphone jack, removable storage, huge screen and most of all, a good price. So yeah, I'm sticking to it
How to update lg v60 softbank version to android 12?
About 5 years ago my Galaxy S5 broke unexpectedly and I had to get something to replace it quickly... After quickly looking at the phones my carrier was offering, I narrowed it down to the Galaxy S8 or the LG G6. I bought the G6 even though the salesman basically told me I was crazy for passing on the new Galaxy. I'm so glad that I didn't listen to those people ! I used and enjoyed my G6 for like, 5 years
until two months ago we HGH eb
When I had to replace it due to the charging port wearing out, I HAD to replace her. So after looking at EVERYTHING that is out there, I'm back to LG with the V60... There's simply not another phone even today that has the amazing combination of features the V60 has! I couldn't find ANY other phone with wireless charging, expandable memory ( a MUST for me), Headphone jack, and MIL standard drop resistance as well as dust and water resistance! ONLY the V60 ThinQ 5 G can boast that! I'm just going to hope LG comes back before my V60 dies, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I still love my adorable lg v20 with a huge expanded battery;)
I wanted to upgrade to the latest phone so I checked em all out and found they were side grades with lots of missing features with insane price tags.
The best phone I ever had:) and I have had lots of phones, the video quality the best of all the phones , LG V6O made me happy almost 2 years now, it works great 👍in every aspect, specialty when I put my second screen people be like what? 😉🤣. It's super fast , and it does what all other $$$$ phones do . So why spend $1000s 🤣 . I wish LG will continue.
Because it's a great piece of hardware that went completely under the radar until it was already too late because LG couldn't market their phones properly. Still believe LG had the best haptic feedback of any Amdroid phone.
Lg v60 thinq vs samsung note 10 plus.. Compare video please
I miss mine, but just wanted something different, plus, day one updates I missed.
There only so much you can do with phones and how they look in the candy bar form factor
Today I Bought This... Love It
LG V60
After the Razor back in the day I went to the LG Shine and LG has always been my phone of choice and the LG V60 is still my phone today I love it.
I still love it on android 12
If , since I am witnessing the 855 and 855+ on my 2 pixel 4xls and my one plus 7t, never stutter. They run android 13 amazing. No stutters. Albeit the 7t is custom android 13 AOSP it is super fast. No heating stalls. That means the 865 is even better. I think these will last a long time. Great video. I'm thinking about picking one of these up for 140 very good condition. Ebay refurb. Hahah.
Had mine since Oct of 2020 ..it's still a beast. No scuffs or anything..as long as u put a case on this bad boy your good
See I would have approached this much differently, firstly LG Flagship devices still have features and Hardware advantages current devices still ignore. The quad DAC, the four high-def microphones, the manual controls and flexibility on the entire camera system, the speakers are one Watt balanced surround sound. The expandable storage alone separates it. The battery life being 5 000 m a h. The video camera capabilities in combination with those amazing microphones make for some of the best audio separation I've ever heard on a phone. I know 8K is considered a gimmick but the fact you can get 24 frames per second at the same time is still way ahead of multiple high-end camera systems. LG was doing 4K 60 way ahead of everybody else.
Might keep my LG V60 ThinQ 5G UW until like 2023 or 2024. My first two phones, the iPhones 5S and 6S lasted me from 2016 to 2018, and then I switched to Android with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Kept that one for nearly 3 years.
Hi, I'm a lg user, I'm using LG v50 now. I'm gonna buy a new mobile soon, don't know to go for a v60 or for an oppo x5 pro
Well did you get the LG v60 Thinq 5g dual screen or still regrets?
I just bought a V60 for $143 in fair condition
I heard that LG do nerf the chip set, I want to buy the v60, but kept getting discouraged by people. I want to use it for gaming. Can you recommend It for me?
Yes, the chip is definitely capable for gaming, nice speakers, and headphones. Won't get high refresh rate games, if that matters to you.
I've had the V10,V20,V30,V40 & now the V60 Dual Screen,Since day one of it's launch(Tmobile).
LG left us with a GREAT phone...
Still better than alot of newer phones
I bought lg g8x and as it got updated to android 12,it laggs whenever i enables flightmode,data,wifi and some other,if you were at my place you would have flashed it but i can't afford to
Good video. Your one of the main reasons i bought the lg v60.
Had the lg g6 and lg v40 as well!
Glad I could help
I like how he casually said you can throw this at somebody and kill them and it’s steal going to be kicking
Still love it because, I got it on full bright since I got it and 😱😱😱 NO BURN IN 😱😱, speakers are crazy, it's a tank, and games don't scale pass 60fps, battery is a monster PRICELESS
My charging port is going bad and my dual screen case is random at best now is it worth getting fixed or should I move on?
It's probably worth replacing the USB port. Unfortunately, using the dual screen case loosens the charging port causing the issue
I bought LG V60 because I saw it from my friend, the display and dual sound are beautiful, and the camera is just right, the photos are vivid, and the photos are truly taken at 64 megapixels. Now I bought acesories for dual screen, this is okay because if you want to have dual screen, you just put v60 and you can have dual screen. I love it
Photos are more accurate. Apple/Samy love to over saturate their camera's. Another thing overlooked is the microphone performance (4 of them!!). I mean Samsungs sound like total garbage in comparison. If you like taking videos this is a big deal. Plus the headphone with quad dac is really something else. Use my high impedance sennheisers and it drives them nicely. Nothing on the market can currently do that. Even the 1600 dollar sony can't drive high impedance headphones.
@@HiPlains1 Even if there is no LG phone anymore, it's still trendy because of the dual screen timing because foldable phones are coming out. LG is still stunning and there is an update, soon there will be a V70 when LG comes back
My daily drivers are the note 10 plus and the LGV60 between the two i use the V60 The most.
barring the resolution, pls tell me if the amoled panel quality between both phones are similar? how do they compare? i am looking at getting a V60. I have seen the Note 10+ display and it is top notch
@@ekeminiudonte3986 note 10 plus is way brighter and richer, but the v60 display is no slouch it gets really bright
I have the Poco F3 but I really like LG cos of my previous experience with the V20 years back. dunno if I will be downgrading display and specs wise🙂
@@ekeminiudonte3986 it definitely won't be a downgrade if you pick up the v60
Erik you had me laughing over here when you said you can throw the V60 at someone and kill them in the phone will still be working. But no joke you drop this on somebody's head they going to get a concussion🤣🤣🤣
Only issue i have with my lg v60 is the charging port. It seems to be giving up and also hotspot keeps dropping. Im going for the s21 ultra.
Good
Great phone except that the Hotspot keeps disconnecting network service. I have two LG v60 phones and both had the same problem. Works fine on my lg8. Switch over to galaxy s20 ultra and no problems with Hotspot. LG v60 however has more customization than the galaxy which I miss.
Camera has an awesome user-friendly manual mode (yes, you can fully control your image capture!) and shoots in RAW which is unique and very useful for creative people. Quad DAC is amazing. Highly functional dual screen case with magnetic rapid charging adapter. Expandable memory up to 2TB. And the irresistible part is we got EVERYTHING for half the price of the competitors' flagships. LG Mobile was the best brand available before they closed operations. In my opinion, Apple and Samsung are good, but highly overrated for their inflated cost. Also, LG was found to have a more ethical manufacturing process than the larger companies.
We never realize how good something is until it's gone
I loved its manual mode
I love this phone..
Notch the iPhone never got rid of the notch
I bought it used from US with the 2nd screen but it could not work for some reason with the local service provider, I tried 2 different ones before having to send it back, I thought about keeping it as a tablet but it would have been greatly diminished usability for the price. Major Bummer at the time.
For battery life, audio quality, and price there is no competition to this phone. Expandable memory, best audio quality, and best battery life for half the cost of other flagship phones.
I love my LG v60 took better shots than my brother Samsung he was mad 😂
I love my LG V60 W/Duel Screen I recommend this phone All the time
Watching on my v60
I just bought another one online to replace my Motorola stylus I missed it so much I got it for $168 in classy blue and near perfect condition I have another one here at the house but it got into an accident it has everything that you need
On Versus comparison website, most phones still never get near it's audio capabilities.
It is good to buy a refurbished V60 in Ali express?
It's like he just learned the word bezels
Watching on a v60
Do you know a way to have VOLTE instead wifi calling? I'm using this phone at México
Prob setting while in call app
I love my Lg v60 to the max I also have the Lg 8 thin Q and it still works fine.
I'm about to order one of these. My only question is, which color is better?
White is clean, the Blue is a bit more flashy with the gold trim
hello really need some help, my verizon lg v60 UW doesnt have themes downloadable, it only has My Themes, and no Recommended (also it doesnt have the apps button below)
im hard stuck on this goofy lg dark theme TvT
Hi everyone,
Hows the sound output through 3.5mm jack compared to lg v40, lg v60?
ESS sabre dac is there but which one sounds better? Does it have low sound issue? Like in v40 you have to use a dongle to trick into high gain...
Is v60 tuned by meridian audio house?
Great review without apple Samsung views. True review. Sad they left market. Thanks for review!
Hearing you talking negatively by the v sexy. You can tell it's hard for you to say the words ... You would also get wireless charging my galaxy a 54 has bi wireless cha4ge it's plastic sides but It's got a beautiful display and a 1380 accidents. Ship is no slouch it's improved vastly over the twelve eighty
I do like the phone but my charge port is now garbage... And it seems to be a common issue. Make me think it's a cheaply made junker.
It's is cheaply made
Charge port IS very fussy!
I go to a lot of music events and sometimes people ask me what phone i have bc they see my recordings. Then i ask em what phone they have (iphone). No doubt iphone records better heavy live bass though. Crazy battery life too. Same music event story..1000s of ppl were stuck outside a music festival ordering Uber with dying phones while i still had 30% after recording videos at the event. I love this phone so much my charge port is messed up a little that im willing to drop another 300 for one instead of buying a new charge port part and risk the tight seal and breaking something (sort of an excuse to have to 2, one for emulation gaming with a dual screen one day maybe)
Did you know that the latest update gives you a little Material you theming kinda like the OnePlus 9 does.It don't change the icons but it changes the color of the app IE messages,phone dialer,calendar etc etc the Google apps that is.Pretty cool
The lg v60 still flawless and works well. And it's also the loudest phone I ever had.
don't forget the LG g and v series mics ( people still remember the Nokia Lumia series mics ) ... ruclips.net/video/XXvh8T-sJ14/видео.htmlsi=fFjj79pXpcdCQpZG ( note "hi-fi" mics with video active in "manual video" only ). The hi-fi audio bitrate is around 7.5 mbps!
Still using my lgv20 5 years on. Changed battery a couple of times, charging port dead, gsm service dead, 3.5mm dead, but everything else still works and rocks. Screen still not broken, with no screen guard. Best audio production from any mobile phone, wether streaming Bluetooth or wired audio. Still want to buy an lg v60 just to use as a multimedia piece.
I have the LG 20 as well only reason I stop using it was it was not receiving any more updates or security updates. I take it you are not concerned with that?
I just bought the 3rd V60. I tried moving on to other newer phones . it's nothing out there that satisfy my needs, mostly the sound and 3.5mm jack.
Great display,fast, decent camera, great speakers, and the sound is just amazing with the quad dac.
