LG V60 ThinQ Review: It's Big.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- LG V60 Review! LG's next big thing is REALLY big. I've used terms like "monster" before, but the V60 is a beast. With a handful of small compromises, this phone is shaping up to be the top option for productivity and multi-asking, while offering amazing features for content creation and gaming. Very few phones can really do it all. The V60 is on that list.

Detailed, thoughtful review. Juan deserves a lot of credit for sticking to his guns in doing deep dives and focusing on substance, while some many other reviewers have moved to the over stylized, gloss-over, Instagram-style, "5 things to know"-type of reviews for an increasingly smaller selection on phones. Keep up the good work!
yeah well said, im sold i believe
😊👍
Well said. It's nice to hear something other than "daaaa speeeeeecs doh"
Excellently put! I agree fully.
As a RUclips creator myself I had been putting off buying a new phone in 2020. After a ton of careful considerations I have ordered a V60. It has some really great features and compromises just enough to give me the most bang for the buck. (excuse the pun) Thank you for the reviews on it as you really made me do a ton of research before I made my decision to purchase.
Glad I could help. Happy shooting, and congrats on the new phone.
Your videos helped me decide on my new phone.
Just got this phone yesterday.
Congrats on the new phone!
Great review. I actually just returned my V60 after 2 weeks of use. I just couldn't get past LGs UI. It wasn't bad but the few differences like the app drawer drove me nuts. I ended up going back to the Note 10 plus.
At least they don't charge you to return it unlike Samsung. Lol
Damm I've seen some reviews before but you just blowed them all away man ! Subscribe !!
He's right. I have this phone and I can't get over how big it is.
I tell people and they're like "yeah I get it", but I don't think they really get it...
I really want this phone. Still using v30 right now. But LG's problem in my country is they already stop their mobile division here. The only possible way to get LG's phone these days is waiting for the used phone on marketplace :( . Guess I have to wait next year for this...
As long as LG keeps and continues to put a headphone jack on their phone I will support them. I like red phones
G8 looked real good in red...
Great video! Please check the language options at RUclips to this video. When I set the subtitles, it thinks it is Holland. Thanks!
Huh... Thats wrong...
It's Dutch here
@@SomeGadgetGuy I am in Brazil. The only subtitle the appears in your video is holland... Please check "Edit video options". Substitles are very useful to whom don't speak Englhis very well. Thanks
How is the memory in regards to picture and video storage??? I kill a phones memory and get to the point i cant even take any more pics because the memory is full ALL THE TIME and with every phone! I have a google phone now and it doesnt even have a memory card because everything goes to google photos and i still have the notifications of low memory and cant take any more pics!!!
Fantastic Work, Juan
Most well rounded reviewer, criminally underrated !
😊👍

23:50 America' Ass rights there ; )
PS: Your argument about not getting a flagship phone sounds logical, but it disregards the fact that it is the flagships that get consistently more software updates, sooner updates, and for longer periods. I can see your reasoning would make more sense for iPhones, though there aren't any midrange iPhones, unless you resort to getting a new, or used, one that is 1-2 years older. Ie in 2020 skipping the iPhone 11 Pro, and buying an iPhone X or iPhone XS instead.
@@ekinteko I will like to disagree with your arguments. update all boils down to the manufacturers. Yes it true that more of the non flagship /mid-range / low end might not but this can be said also for flagships as well.Example Nokia don't really do flagship phones but majority of their phones get an update so is the Motorola. The update really depends on the manufacturers and how well the phone sold or not.
I agree totally
.0.0..00..00..00.0.0..0..90
I like how big this phone is 😁 Also yes, anyone who says we don't need the headphone jack is stupid. No sugar coating on that statement.
I mean... Some "techies" just seem to hate their ears...
@@SomeGadgetGuy and have convinced others the same. It's mind boggling how make replies I've gotten saying "Bro get over it, the headphone jack is old and dead"
It's insufferable.
I wear hearing aids and im still the advocate for keeping headphone Jack. Its removal doesn't benefit the consumer, and no technology had replaced it in terms of hearing quality. Bluetooth doesn't count, and carrying a dongle is extra bullshit not needed in the first place.
It's amazing how some consumers buy into things so laid out for the corporation's interest, not ours.
@@BodethIII Exactly. Bluetooth can be nice, at convenient at times, but overall I still find wired headphones more convenient and practical. Plus carrying a dongle means you're going to be plugging things in and out of the charging port more often than before, prematurely wearing it out.
I've had my charging ports wear out. Not fun with you finally get it plugged in right, only for an hour or so later to realize that a sudden movement cause it to not charge.
Aah... Some handful of LG admires watching on their LG phones of a LG phone review....👏👏 We are the minorities..
Might finally upgrade from my v35 I've had since new. I haven't seen much of a need to upgrade since my v35 still works ~fine~ but this phone (v60) may be my next phone, though I may wait a bit for the price to go down
Yep watching on my G8 while waiting for my V60 to ship from T-Mobile.
On my v30 with my dying leds when I lower brightness. Sucks.
Haha so true. I always ask people bashing LG: who made your TV?
I'm currently watching this on my V30. I would love to buy the V60, but not sure it will work with spectrum's service.
Damn. you're seriously the best reviewer on RUclips. Great job, man! I try to like every single one of your videos as soon as its uploaded
😊👍
I agree
AGREED!! Im so glad i found this guy on RUclips, He is my go to guy for reviews now. HE HAS GREAT SOLID POINTS.
Most underrated comment of the year lol
Love my LG phones I had the LG G6 LG V30 LG V40 and now I using a LG V50. I always get value for my money.
Kern Phillips so true
Very true. If I would have known about LG phones years ago, I would never have used Samsung.
You like value but get a new phone every year?
I'm still using my V20 and it's actually superior in a lot of ways to modern flagships
@@chrisogrady28 you are Cain of right ,but what are the better ways ??
I've had the Optimus g, g2, g5, g7 and just picked up a v60. Unfortunately Canada never got the v50 or else I would of got that instead.
"You just have to pay attention to some other brands."
YES KING YES!
It's the first time I've heard that it was compatible with an active stylus 😃 Wow
Edit: Lg doesn't even mention it on their website
Its a tiny throw away listing on their spec sheet. LG REALLY needs to step up some advertising
@@SomeGadgetGuy I was about to say the same thing 😃but what do you think about their design lately? I haven't check them out since g6 and I think they changed a lot and not in a good way
@@SomeGadgetGuy I thought that the active digitiser is quite expensive, why put it and never advertise it.. like you were saying they really need to sort out their marketing
It's advertised on LG Canada Italia Japan and come as free bundle
in the same vein I didn't realize it ditched the old fingerprint scanner for an in display one. tho I should have guessed when I saw the back of the phone lol
This is what you call DETAILED REVIEW... Thanks, love almost all your contents
FDS TV no, below IS a detailed review.
hi welcome to my channel and my v60 review. I’ve been using it for 1 week. The v60 has lower resolution screen and just 60hz, wtf LG. But it has a big battery so i guess it is okay. Insert 10 minute padding. But it is not a Samsung so it is not really worth it. Thanks for watching.
Of course i’m being sarcastic. Lol
@@techiedreyn3621 you forgot to add MKBHD there
"you just have to *pay attention* to other brands to see it.." someone call the police.. this man just murdered all of the Samsung fanboys
lol
Samsung is ok, I just upgraded from a s9 to the LG V60 thinq and it was the price $1,300 is just to much of an ouch
I have note 8 and next weeknill have lg v60
@@TheDrinkyDude How are you finding the LG V60 ThinQ compared to Samsung Galaxy S9? I have the S9 and I'm considering upgrading to the LG V60 ThinQ myself
@@ellietischler I like it once you remove some of the bloatware and turn off the background apps the battery can last days, I've not charged my phone for two days and still had a residual 15 to 20 percent, my only complaint is after the update I can't choose a ringtone it auto defaults but I get so few calls it's just a annoyance
This is such a great phone and I really want to buy the V60. It's probably too much phone for me but that headphone Jack is such a great underused feature in smartphones.
It really is an epic feature to hold on to. Especially for gaming.
So far to me it's the most underrated flagship, and I haven't even owned an LG phone until this one.
Even if the headphone jack is dead on most other phones that doesn't mean wired audio is also dead. You can still use usb c headphones or just simply use an adapter.
@@popantermopan4099 Problem is that's another item to carry that can get lost easily, plus you'll wear out the USB C port easily. Believe me it happened to me from normal use, okay maybe heavy use, but imagine how it quickly it would wear out if from both charging and using it for headphones.
@@mistamaog of course, I never said that there aren't any trade offs that you would have to make if your phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but I don't think not having a headphone jack should be a deal breaker for most folks. You know, the jack is not a necessary feature but it's still nice to have.
Oh gawd! I am truly gonna miss your LG videos. They were always the highlight of my day. You always tell it like it is and give genuine, thorough, helpful reviews for the underdog. I'm holding onto my V60 for dear life.
I just love this video. Finally someone smart that said the true about those people who get expensive phones just to use it for social media jajajajs. I got the V60 but I use it for video content
This thing out here wrecking laptops.
"But what if i only shoot full auto hdr stills and never try anything else on the phone?"
WOW! 29mins of full detailed review, man you should do these more often. If you will ask me, your review is my most anticipated specially with LG devices. Your second to none, PERIOD! Keep it up Juan. After watching this V60 review I'm full. 😂👌🔥
These things take so long to make...
He has more detailed reviews for dedicated topics on patreon
@@SomeGadgetGuy yeah but you killed on this one i was like 1/3 threw and said what! you kept going and going like the energizer bunny but u sold me
100%! Nice review! I've been using the V60 for almost 3 months and its one of the most versatile phones I've seen. Perfect for multitasking.
Its SUPER flexible.
Not too bign
Not too big?*

I finally put myself in a thumbnail!
@@SomeGadgetGuy you need to put another g8 happy face
This is a super good review!!! I have an LG G5 that I got in November 2016 and it's still going strong using it aggressively everyday, not to mention I have easily dropped this phone over 1000+ times and it works perfectly fine...... Currently deciding on a V50, G9, or V60... definitely want a dual screen but not sure if Verizon offers it.... Would get the G8 but it has no 5G..... Thanks for the great content!!!!
Ya just have to pay attention to some other brands to see it. 😂💯 Exactly!
😁
Finally some credit for LG that it deserves. Also the hardware quality of LG is really good. Good work Juan.

And don't forget it's an ip68, and has a 3.5 jack port... And also it has one of the best batteries
@@DreamCatcher101-6 That battery is something else! Its crazy how consistently user reports of single screen use is on average 15 hours of SOT!
audio is the best thing in lg phones , there's no one like lg
Its why LG gets my money. I have some awesome Kinera Idun IEM's that sound absolutely amazing on my current V40. Wifey and I just did the BOGO at Tmobile for a couple V60's that we pick up on Tuesday. Looks like it will be a nice upgrade.
Dude I cried the first time I heard the V60s audio through my high end headphones.
I was considering the Note 20 ultra but NOPE the V60 is perfect for me.
@@TheAgentAssassin you should try headphones in the Samsung. Not much difference if any!
Love your detailed and unbiased reviews man. LG rocks!
👍😊
on my v40 right now. really thinking of upgrading but my old v20 still works well and I use both my v20 and v40 in tandem throughout the day! v60 is looking pretty great tho 🤔
V20 + newer 4100mAh LiPo battery
@@harysviewty I got 2 batteries and a battery charger when gorilla gadget when they had a special! I usually I have 1 battery in, and the other battery charging. my v20 runs like a marathon
G3 just croaked, just didnt work smashed like this samsung. Lg Didnt smash for years though. Miss the audio
Same thing here.. Just got myself lg v40 and am using both that one as well as my old g4 with 3 spare batteries... Got so used to swapping batteries when my phone dies and I miss that on my v40.. Lg sure makes some really cool phones
@@maringlavina777 detachable extended battery on dualscreen would be nice. V60 is very heavy
LG V series rocks! I currently have the V40 and I love it so much! As long as LG V Series keeps their headphone jack and incredible Quad DAC, I will not change for another phone brand. Thank you for the great review!
Those headphone jacks are so damn good...
I love the fact this phone has an FM radio as well. Most "average" consumers will use a streaming FM radio app. For those times when you have poor signal or are in an emergency situation (natural disaster) the FM radio and headphone wire as an antenna can be a life saver. Often overlooked but crucial point for those who are survivalists.
My friend pre ordered the s20 ultra and isn't even using QHD and 120hz even when I pointed it out to him and shower him the difference he said he barley noticed and switched it back.
Can't get more average consumer then that
I love the 120hz personally, but it isn't a deal breaker when for example every Samsung is a exynos chip in my country so I rather use LG with a Snapdragon. Will have to see if networks get the device here otherwise will keep on using my v30
That's because there's no noticeable difference. It's a gimmick.
It would be great if we could just rent each phone for a week & then make a decision.
I really wanted to start a boutique gadget purchasing service, but the money and insurance make no sense as a sustainable business.
You can just buy it and then return it before the return window expires...?
@@z4ng3tsu1ch1g0 Then you pay a restocking fee, at least on a carrier. Idk how it works otherwise. To my knowledge, the V60 is only being sold thru carriers atm. I was thinking along the lines of trying several phones. I have no idea what I'll be getting this year.
@@brybry9977 think of the restocking fee as a rental fee...Businesses will close if they just rent shit free of charge
Any chance of a Redmagic 5g review once it's out?
You're my favorite reviewer and would like to see what you think of it because atm specs wise it's looking pretty damn good
I really want to play with one.
This review needs more attention! especially with average consumer and "tech enthusiasts" that sounds like influencer rather than tech enthusiast itself. because it's more detailed and proven by tests. i like how your review perform man. it reminds me with jarrod's tech which tests every laptop and prove the results and even you put more logic rant with people nowadays. thumbs up dude.
and dang that 23:50 such a thicc phone bruh ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
and yes... i have some reccomendation game like Grid autosport, honkai impact 3 for jrpg 3d (because it has so much effect this could probably tests the procie performances) and ark survival.
you are a good reviewer.
i think it´s time to change my galaxy note 4 3g
Note 4 to V60 would be a NICE upgrade.
You are definitely ahead of the consumerism if that's the proper word to use . Just wondering how you can do it watching RUclips videos on lastest and greatest technology everyday 😅.
I want the V60 so freaking bad!
But LG has given up in the nordic countries so a big fat F is well deserved on that one. F
Great review!
Keeping my G8 simply because of the rear finger print sensor . Great video thank you.
It's SO much better than the in-display sensors...
That rear finger sensor is so much better. It is much quicker than the on screen version. Still, I am enjoying this V60.
I saw picture of someone playing a 3ds emulator with the dual screen. I thought it was nifty as heck.
I love using the s10+, but man the curved edges are still not growing on me, I'll definitely go back to lg as my next phone
Never underestimate the headphone jack!!!
I thought the same thing. Until I had a phone without one. Using a dongle on phone without headphone jack sounds just as good as my V40.
Brand ambassador of LG in a good way :)
LoL.
@@SomeGadgetGuy You are a doing great job reviewing devices, which are bang for the money. Would appreciate if you would recommend or make a video on good android mini tab (7 or 8 inch display). Thank you.
Better PR than LG Phone division... More effective and... Free.
Him and TK Bay can have a collaboration appearance on an LG mobile ad.
@@SomeGadgetGuy honestly, hasn't any person in LG thought about getting you to be their spokesperson?
I own it I moved to the LG v60 from Samsung s10+ I love it and it functions better batter so last longer
The dedicated fingerprint reader in the back has made my life so much easier. I fear the moment when I ll have to replace my V40. Is any manufacturer still sporting one?
I am afraid you'll have to go with budget devices. Just saying from the top of my head, I can't think of any "good" phone to have a capacitive fingerprint sensor. Though looking into a mid-range device with an LCD display is one of the best sure fire ways to get the physical fingerprint sensors since you can't have an in display sensor with an LCD display.
So damn sad about LG. I purchased their flagships for pennies on the dollar on Ebay and got EVERYTHING I wanted and more being an audiophile.
The V60 but is huge and everything else is too expensive for less than I need. Even if you spent a GRAND on a new phone you'd STILL need a $250 dragonfly DAC JUST to match the audio quality of what's already in my v40. Along with a stupid dongle.
People who never had a V series don't know what they missed.
R.I.P. LG. We miss you already.
I picked up a V60 last week and I love it. Battery life is ABSURD.
It's real nice.
@@SomeGadgetGuy first fell in love with the design of the V-series with the V10 and V20 with how unique they were. While I do miss the more rugged design of those, the V60 is the absolute best phone ever for multi-tasking and just packed feature-wise.
I love the phone all around, but damn like you said it is BIG and it is HEAVY particularly with the dual screen case on. Was a bit surprised when I took it out of the box 😂
Good game benchmark for Android?
Doom 3
I wish I was kidding but it still punishes phones.
Yes, there is a port of Doom 3 to Android. It's called DIII4A
(Edit) It was taken off the app store and is not optimized for Android 10. But the performance has gotten better with each new SoC.
Like my S10e is getting above 40fps and reaches 60 quite often at 1080p at High settings
Why id use the second screen is becuase i multitask ALOT. RUclips+games/ youtube+social media/ games+ social media/ social media+social media/ list goes on. This phone is honestly perfect for my use
Something I've noticed if you're upgrading from an LG V40 to a V60: even though both phones use an oled display. Color reproduction seems to be better or more vibrant and less washed out on the V40 but colors are still decent on the V60
Another thing: if you want to use LG pay and you have a capital one account. It is not currently supported🙄
LG V Series is always been top notch compared to the contemporary competition.
Juan, hands down the best tech reviews I've seen on the net. Thorough, informative of what's really important, critical of things we SHOULD care more about, and someone I feel I can trust with these reviews and opinions. Thank you for your dedication and keep up the great work!
Amen
Dude, I agree SO much. I was literally shaking my head as you talked about "average use" and what consumers actually need. I see so many people I know waste hundreds, and even thousands of dollars on top of the line phones like the s20 ultra and iPhone 11 Pro and other phones like that, and then when I see them use it, they only text and call and watch one or two RUclips videos a day. It aggravates me to see such good tech going to waste. People should really keep in mind what you said. Most mid-range phones today are packing some good specs for a good price. Sure, it may not have a 90hz refresh rate or a Quad HD (some mid-range phones do tho) display, but it gets the job done well. Mid-range phones as a whole are being slept on. Now, people like me who play tons of graphic intensive games, does a crap ton of calling, texting, RUclips, Netflix, Vrv, Hulu, and music consumption... People that do things like that should buy higher prices phones with better specs that will actually be used. Most people today wouldn't even notice the difference between 8-16 gb's of RAM, and a lot wouldn't even fill up 128gbs of storage in a lifetime. They wouldn't notice the difference between a 90hz and a 120hz (I do though. I like high refresh rates but it isn't a must for me). I need 128 gb's of storage for all my music, images, memes, videos, pictures (I travel a lot), and games, etc. Now, the person next to me (hypothetical) doesn't do all that, and yet they buy the exact same phone and let it go to waste. And yeah, it's nice having the best camera for people like me who travel a lot and are super active, so the V60 is a major go. But there are other people who should just buy cheaper phones like the Pixel 3a (or XL model) if they want good overall camera performance for average, daily use. Sorry for kind of ranting lol, just my thoughts. Also, everyone is different, so you can't really group a group of people into one category because everyone has different needs. Also, your review was absolutely amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed your video, and would like to see more about the V60.
No worries on the rant. We all feel that way from time to time. 🙂👍
@@SomeGadgetGuy Thanks man.
For the games section, I suggest you look into "Sky: Children of the Light" game. Veeery taxing to the system. It's basically Journey for phones, made by the same company.
Noice! Sold!
Just ordered mine. Had to get it off swappa since every other place has no stock. Lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed the frame looking like the HTC 10 it's a nice touch.
If you have taste in phone design, it's not hard to see. 😁👍
I got mine on swappa also. Cheaper too.
JUAN PLEASE TEST MICROSOFT LAUNCHER!
I would really love to see if maybe the launcher will work since it's being beta tested for the Surface Duo!
You can use wideview for LG + all Launcher + tasker for that
Microsoft Launcher didn't work
I m using Microsoft launcher on lg G7
Awesome review!
I think one of the advantages of the Note 10 is its size and pen support.
I like the V60 too, but I live in Europe so we won't get it.
But I tried a V50 in a store and it's huge.
Thank you for the great review! LG phones are amazing. I love my LG V50. I just hope that LG will come back here in the Philippines. 👍🏼
me too. I love my v50. Please come back to ph LG
Sadly,you can buy LG devices in grey market.
Really looking forward to importing this phone to the UK. Have a V20 and I love it. Got a Mate 20 pro on a cheap contract deal, and tbh I can take it or leave it. I still use my V20 for audio every day, and emui is terrible.
Do these LG v60 phones not sell in the UK?
@@kezman1434 they won't come to the UK. The V50 came here, but it was so expensive no one bought it. On contract it was more than an IPhone 11 Pro.
Great review, as usual! I bought the v20 back then, after watching your videos. The thing I love most is the quad-dac, as I use my phone mainly to listen to music. Would you think it is worth an upgrade to the v60 if I still love the v20?
"stove-top camera array"
That's the first time i've heard that and now i'll be using that every time I refer to a multi-camera system.
😊👍

@@arjelbrianagustin4482 Nice to meet another Agustin 👍🏽
Can you do LG G8 vs LG G8X vs LG V60 ThinQ? (I didn't include V50 because it is not unlocked...)
I love this review. Finally a fair and honest phone reviewer. Great job recommending a device most reviewers write off because of ridiculous specs that no average consumer cares about or will ever notice in their daily use
I had worries about the screen going from the V20 1440p . But the V60 with the audio and OLED actually looks better by a respectable amount.
The V60 is a youtube consumers dream phone.
Long battery life , stereo speakers , and amazing quad dac using headphones and a pretty amoled screen and it's cheap.
Get one now and when you crack your screen in 2 years you can buy a refurb phone for $100-200
My wife cannot understand why I wanted this phone over the Note 10+ or S20 Ultra, which is exactly why I wanted it lol
@@mikecarr1484 No, you're dumb. So stop hating on people for no reason.
@@mikecarr1484 what an ignorant thing to say
Great review. One of the most thorough I have seen for any device in a long time. I recently purchased my V60 a few days ago, and I was coming over from a Note 10+ that I had been using for a couple of months after I gave my wife my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I really, really love this V60. There are a couple of annoyances, but the overall package is amazing, and I still have yet to try out the dual-screen since I had to redeem that separately. I love the headphone jack, the screen is great. I find the fingerprint sensor quicker than the one on the Note 10+, and the camera has been great. There was a slight learning curve to get accustomed to everything, but once I did it's been smooth sailing. Now I want to get a Wacom pen, and I will be good. Thanks for the great video.
Congrats on the new phone!
Great in depth review as always bro. Although I would have like to see a qhd display, I will agree with you that lg is definitely giving people more bang for their buck! Thanks again for your review 👍
I just bought this phone unopened brand new unlocked T-Mobile for $375 on eBay, that's ridiculous. It is so nice it's like a Samsung Note phone for 1/3 the price. Sound quality from the headphone jack is phenomenal the best and it's compatible with a stylus like the note series. This screen is as clear and sharp as my previous phone the Galaxy S9 which has wqhd+ pixel density. The colors are just outright better on the LG phone as well and I'm really surprised because I thought the Galaxy S9 screen was almost unbeatable.
Thicc
Thinking of getting this upgrading from a v30. However if LG isn't making phones anymore will that hinder updates? Also is the phone too bulky. My other option is the galaxy s21 but it seems lacking for its price tag.
My last LG phone was the Nexus 5. Seems like I'll be going back to LG this year 😁😁😁
Went shopping for the v60. Could only find the dual screen model. I bought the galaxy s21. Mildly disappointing. LG has to put in some effort with dealers and advertising or they really should stop selling smartphones. Ugh.
First, good review 👍

Some samples found in a free hi res sample .2L hires.
The reason why HDR looks fine on the phone / tv and washed out on your PC is because your TV and phone have HDR hardware enabled certified screens, and your PC/Mac doesn't.
LG and Sony HDR video is not just a fancy filter applied over a default video, videos are actually recorded and encoded as HDR - hence you need and HDR capable screen to view it properly.
Other "tech journalists" could learn a thing or two from your work. Well done as always!
i just bought this for 400 on Amazon. My LG V40's battery was dying quick. It was a display unit from somewhere i got off ebay a few years ago. Loved LG since the G3
You know what...after seeing your review, I might consider this phone to buy...Btw, amazing review, keep going!
👍
I have it and love it
@@popo-sq4ij same here. Totally worth it!
Been rockin' my DUAL SCREEN V60 since launch and i love it!! ONLY GRIPE IS FINGERPRINT SCANNER IN THE FRONT NOW. Other then that im happy with it. Its amazing how a lot of people have no idea this phone exist. If never been ask the "WHAT KINDA PHONE IS THAT!?" question more then with this phone. And when i pull out the 2 screens people really do get amazed! Like, OH SHIT! 2 SCREENS!?!? and then i hit them with the price and they get even more intrigued. I said the price in front of a coworker flexing his S20 Ultra and he seemed embarrassed for paying $1400 and decided to stick the phone back in his pocket hahahaha To each his own, He prefers Samsung and i prefer LG with good o' 3.5mm jack and a cheaper price.
Ugh i know. Wish we could still have rear sensors.
@@SomeGadgetGuy rear fps will be a negative 🤭 old tech for some reviewers
I really enjoyed that review, and Iv always thort that LG has been one of the most under rated when it comes to smartphones, from the G5 I was sold pity I can 't aford the v60 but if can make some extra cash I will get one for my birthday day 11 September, I also Wana become a reviewer and I think itl help in makeing content starting with vloging thanks for the osum review!!!!!!
i think LG knocked it out of the park this year
also much agree with the blue phones haha (though id love to have a teal version since those tend to be favorite colors)
Teal would be nice too. Or a teal/blue gradient...
Juan, do you have an LG manual camera tutorial or where can I find one
Thanks and great complete review
I think the V60 is screaming my name. Ive always had Samsung S series phones. Gonna give it a shot with that dual screen case.
Love the undercut diss.
Making me crazy listening to reviewers flex $1200+ phones talking about "average" folks.
@@SomeGadgetGuy But now some are backtracking.
Chris Velazco over at Engadget... bashed the shit out of it during his initial review.
Now after being dragged through the mud by virtually every commenter, he's come back singing a New Tune.
Now its... "A compromised phone I like anyway"
Thank you for your truth and enjoyment of a reviewer and user expression for the LG brand.
@@twany442 look at Android authority article vs video 🤭
Ppl hate on LG when it's the same size as the s21 ultra and the iphone 12 pro max? And the specs are up to par with the s21 ultra and leaves the 12 pro max in the dust.
Always a pleasure watching your reviews especially on LG phones. I just picked one up but wasn't that impressed with the cameras. Would love to see you do a comparison between the G8 and V60's cameras. I don't have my G8 anymore but can't help but.feel like the margin between the 2 isn't that far off.
Main gripe would be dropping the 10 bit per channel video on the V30. We have reached an era where sometimes an older phone will have better features. Headphone jacks, cough, cough.
This is the fairest, most well-contextualized review I've seen for a phone in some time. Thank you for not just skimming the spec sheet and highlighting differences between this and the latest Samsung phone. Kudos!
This phone has exactly the feature set that I care about (and a few extras) without increasing the price on a lot of features that I don't care about. With flagships all $1k+, it's basically a flagship phone at a high mid-range price. I think this will be the real sleeper pick out of the flagship SD865 generation. I'm sold on it. I'M NOT GIVING UP MY JACK!
I just think claims should be tested you know. The bigger the claim, the more scrutiny it should face.
@@SomeGadgetGuy preach that brohem!
Excellent review mann!!!!
👍
Headphone jack. Important considering there are cancer warning lables on wireless audio tech.
Love mine. Selling my S20 Ultra because of it.
Two HUGE phones to fight there 😄
V60 is all around better with a better price I love mine
That’s a downgrade
Minty same thing I said ... definitely a downgrade
@@osoifamf Buzz off..... Samsung fanboys are no less than Apple. Geez.... Stop telling people what to do, idiot. Everyone has their own preferences.
Honkai Impact 3rd can be very demanding on phones. Especially the new "A Post-Honkai Odyssey" open world mode.
The V60 review I was waiting for. Thank you!
😎👍
Love this phone. Had an S20 Ultra at launch. Is it hard to believe I like this phone better? Lol. And that dual screen is SO COOL! Very happy with the phone over all.
Ultra seems like it would be a fun fight, but its a tough fight at $500 more 😳
@@SomeGadgetGuy yeah I pay cash for my phones. So it was hard to watch all that $$ leave my account for a few small improvements.
FINALLY!!! A video that actually acknowledges Pro Modes in the camera. Yes, the average person won't use them, but this isn't a phone meant for "average" users!
You just got another sub for this one!
Makes me crazy. We shouldn't be pushing$1000 phones on folks just covering the basics.
Lg phones are worth to buying. But people don't understand that what they need in a phone they always go for higher specs.
The lower screen resolution kills it for me before anything else can. Nope.
i hate chinese branded phones, never again samsung, toyish apple, where do we go from here?
I laugh a little with the fact that the title says "It's BIG" and has a thumbnail of the butt 🤣 sorry but like always good reviews!
Great review. I got my LG V60 yesterday and after applying a Zagg Glass protector the under the screen fingerprint reader stopped working. Anything you recommend? Thank you and keep up the great work.
What if you use a vinyl (film) one instead of a glass protector?
@@TheNegative1 I actually got it working. Not sure why I was having trouble at first.
Personally I miss the physical fingerprint reader they had in the V50.
Marc Stern what is your opinion about this v60
What issues do you have?
How is the camera quality at indoors?
How is the battery life on cellular data?
