LG V60 review: LG’s best (last) effort in years
Source: Android Authority English
The LG V60 is the best V series phone to reach the market in years. This too-huge phone has unbeatable battery life, a refreshed design, a flexible camera arrangement, and a headphone jack. Despite these strengths, competing phones best it in camera quality, display quality, and software experience. The V60's ace up the sleeve is its price, which is hundreds less than the competition.

LG V60 ThinQ 5G Camera review
Source: DxOMark English Archive.org version
Given the LG V60 ThinQ 5G’s flagship ambitions, our camera test results are slightly underwhelming. The LG is capable of recording pleasant images in most situations, but its zoom performance is held back by the lack of a dedicated tele-lens, and top-tier rivals offer a better-tuned texture/noise balance. The LG’s video performance is very similar to that for stills, in that it delivers very acceptable results without rivaling the best in class.

Overall, both phones aren’t the most competitive phones, but they’re still LG’s best phones they have made to date, and are both definitive improvements of the company’s past attempts. Let’s hope the Velvet’s fresh redesign can also be applied to other future LG devices.

LG V60 ThinQ 5G Audio review
Source: DxOMark English Archive.org version
While the LG V60 ThinQ 5G put in a mid-pack performance compared to all the phones whose audio we have tested, it is below its peers for both Playback and Recording. At the root is poor tonal range rendering when playing back audio and video, as well as poor tonal range preservation when recording. That problem contributes to poor results in a number of categories.

80% LG V60 ThinQ Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
The LG V60 ThinQ has not got an official UK release, so getting hold of one is a little tricky. Still, if one is available in your region, then it can prove cheaper than the Galaxy S20 Ultra, especially in the States where the price is $950. For that, you get a good phone with a fun Dual Screen add-on, 5G, performance that mostly matches the competition and a strong camera. It does feel like LG needs a bit of reset with its flagship phones though and we might just get that with the LG Velvet.

For US$799, I think the LG V60 ThinQ 5G dual screen is a pretty nice smartphone, and the company has made huge improvements since the last time I used an LG. I would have no problem recommending the LG V60 ThinQ 5G dual screen to anyone.

80% LG V60 ThinQ Review: Just the two of us
Source: Mobile Syrup English Archive.org version
The V60 ThinQ sports flagship specs like a 5,000mAh battery, a Snapdragon 865 chipset and two screens. After using both the G8X ThinQ and now the V60 ThinQ, I’ve grown to really like the secondary screen, and though it’s not a true foldable display, the phone offers a lot in the way of multi-tasking. The V60 ThinQ costs $1,100, which as of right now in Canada, is a pretty average price for a flagship handset. To put the price in perspective, S20 costs $1,319, the OnePlus 8 costs $1,099 and the Mate 30 Pro costs $1,399. It’s hard to say whether the V60 ThinQ is worth it, but the phone is available at carriers across Canada. If you’re looking for a phone with a solid battery, speedy performance and two screens, the V60 ThinQ is the choice pick.

LG V60 ThinQ with Dual ScreenReview: It Might Not Be Mr. Right, but It Could Be Mr. Right Now
Source: Gear Diary English Archive.org version
The first device to offer an optional LG Dual Screen case was the LG V50 ThinQ, which was soon followed by the LG G8X ThinQ. While I liked what LG was trying to do by adding the optional second display to both of those earlier models, it wasn’t until the LG V60 ThinQ with Dual Screen — mixed with the crazy times that we are living in — that it all finally made sense.

LG V60 ThinQ 5G – One Month Later [Review]
Source: G Style Magazine English Archive.org version
Let’s also talk about the price. This is one of the more affordable Snapdragon 865, 5G equipped phones out there right now. This is a bargain compared to a similarly spec’d Samsung Galaxy S20, so that’s something to seriously consider. Aside from that, the LG V60 is a winner in my opinion especially when you consider all that in comes with at that price point.

LG V60 ThinQ review: Why bother with the Galaxy S20 Ultra?
Source: Talk Android English Archive.org version
If you’re a power user still itching for headphone jacks and the best specs for the money, it’s hard to look anywhere besides the LG V60 ThinQ. There’s clearly still a discrepancy between the phones cameras, and the higher refresh rate display is nice; if you’re invested in Samsung’s software experience, that might swing you over, too.

The LG V60 is a really good phone with a superb display, top performance, and industry-leading battery life. The cameras are best-in-class for video recording on Android, though the device itself is definitely too large. The downside is the V60 is difficult to get hold of outside the US, particularly as you can’t buy it unlocked. But if you can get it, it's a phone well worth the asking price that won't get the plaudits it deserves.

75% LG V60 Dual Screen Review: V For Versatility
Source: The Verge English Archive.org version
It should say everything about the V60 being a jack-of-all-trades that I’m ending on stylus support. This phone gives you a ton for $800 — even if you go without the Dual Screen. It’s a blazing performer, battery life might be the best for any phone in 2020 so far, and it’s got terrific headphone audio. But I really wish LG had done more with the giant display. I can put up with the bezels just fine, but high-refresh screens are already becoming table stakes at this price in the Android world. If I’m sacrificing comfort and ergonomics, the display had better be incredible. And I’m willing to pay a couple extra hundred bucks for it.

81% LG V60 5G ThinQ review: A compromised phone I like anyway
Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
By itself, the V60 ThinQ is a fascinating exercise in compromise. To get its price under $1,000 (the current standard for a flagship), LG went with a lower-resolution screen, fewer rear cameras and less RAM than it rivals. That sounds like a great way to build a mediocre smartphone, but these compromises are easy to live with. Chances are you’ll wind up with a free dual-screen case too. Calling this thing polished would be a stretch, but if you’re willing to put in the work, it can be a very useful add-on. All told, the V60 offers solid performance, plus some of the best battery life we’ve seen so far this year, all for less money than competing devices. It’s still a little rough around the edges, but it’s nothing if not a good deal.

LG V60 review: A less exciting but cheaper Galaxy S20 alternative
Source: Tech Switch English Archive.org version
Available within the US from AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, the LG V60 ThinQ 5G is a premium telephone poised to compete towards the Galaxy S20. Though it is a lofty opponent to tackle, the LG V60 has a few issues that make it stand out. One is low tech (a headphone jack) and the opposite is extra superior: A particular Dual Screen case that doubles the dimensions of its show. Though the accent is sweet to have and has a handful of helpful tips, it is positively not a necessity.

Lastly, 5G coverage is rolling out nationwide throughout the year and the V60 is a 5G phone. During my time with an AT&T review unit, the 5G indicator was on the whole time and AT&T does have 5G coverage in the Bay Area. However, when I ran speed tests on Ookla, the phone was only able to connect to the carrier's LTE network. Download and upload speeds were about on par with a 4G LTE phone on AT&T (the V60's average 194Mbps for download speeds and 36Mbps for upload speeds). As of this report, AT&T is looking into this, so given all the variables involved -- different networks, location and coverage -- your experience will differ from mine.

LG V60 ThinQ 5G with Dual Screen Review: imperfect, yet magical
Source: Beta News English Archive.org version
So, do I recommend the LG V60? Only if you are willing to live with some compromises, and only if you buy the second screen accessory. With this phone, you don't get an optical zoom, audio recording is poor, and 5G on T-Mobile is very disappointing. But that second screen... that second screen is magic, causing all of my grievances to melt away. My productivity is enhanced exponentially by having two apps opened side by side. It even works wonders for gaming. Without the second screen, however, there are better options out there.

The LG V60 is the most refined flagship we've seen from LG, and with its free Dual Screen peripheral/case, 5G connectivity, and good specs, the phone stands out from its rivals. But its extra display space is clunkier in execution than foldables out there, leaving it more appealing to niche consumers. Still, as one of the more affordable 5G phones out there, the LG V60 has appeal for the average consumer, even if it doesn't outperform other flagships.

I’m trying to be positive, but I can’t think of a single time I’d recommend this phone. Maybe if you need some manual camera controls and you absolutely have to have the best audio on a smartphone, but besides that, this phone feels so lacking and uninspiring that I assume it will fade into oblivion like all of LG’s other phones from the past 3-4 years.

Upon first glance, the LG V60 ThinQ looks too plain and too dated. It’s got a notch, it’s missing a telephoto lens, and it has a display that could very well be from last year. But beyond the surface, the V60 boasts a Snapdragon 865, a strong camera setup, top-notch battery life, 5G, and great audio—all for $200 less than the Galaxy S20. It's not an exciting phone, but it's a really good phone and an even better value.

It is rated for IP68 and MIL-STD 810G and comes with a two-year hardware warranty so LG is confident in its ability to hold up well over time.

But is it enough to persuade potential buyers? As always, the answer is no. The V60 still has the hard task to stand out from the competition with excellent camera performance, great display, and long battery life. The latter looks achievable with the significant bump to the 5,000 mAh unit, but we will know for sure once we have our hands on one of those and test it out extensively. Even with a sub-$1000 price tag, the V60 has a lot of proving to do.

Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
The LG V60 ThinQ is a step in a more modern direction for LG with improvements in the right places though some standard perks, like the telephoto lens, have been dropped. Combine that with the Dual Screen and you have an overlarge phone that’s moderately powerful enough to become a multimedia machine that can watch and play on 5G connectivity. Whether that’s enough to separate the V60 from the pack may come down to its cost, which will convey whether the phone is a shrewdly-priced alternative to expensive foldables or just another flagship phone with a quirky addition.

Model:

While Samsung had always made headlines with its high-end Android phones, there are also other companies out there trying their best to bring out their top-spec, compelling phones. LG is definitely one of such companies which produces flag-ship alternatives such as its latest endeavour, the LG V60 ThinQ 5G. Excusing its ridiculous name, this smartphone has a lot going for it. The V60 has been introduced with a rather larger 6.8 inches screen display. While it does improve the overall viewing experience but it does make the phone size larger and prevents single-handed usage for some users though. The dual screen attachment which has debuted with the earlier V50 and was tweaked later in G8X has obviously made its return via this model. The dual screen generally wraps around the phone like a normal case but with a USB-C plug to power the additional screen. It is worth mentioning that LG has improved the dual screen from its predecessor as the magnetic charging connector is way stronger and easier to use. Apart from that, there is also an added ribbed texture at the back of the dual screen to increase the gripping ability than the one found in G8X ThinQ. The best thing has to be the inclusion of the dual screen in the box as standard with the V60, something that LG had never done before. LG do deserve some accolades for this inclusion. Despite the fact that it is definitely valuable to have a second screen attached but it should also be noted that the phone does become bulkier when the dual screen is attached. While the new screen does open up new possibilities for users by providing an extra screen to do work and opening apps, it does make the phone barely usable in one hand.

The V60 comes in with a 1080p display which is the first for the V-series. In addition, this model also comes in with a maximum of 8GB of RAM as compared to its predecessor. However, it does fall back when compared with OnePlus, Samsung and Xiaomi which comes in with 12GB of RAM respectively. V60 runs with a Snapdragon 865 processor along with 128GB or 256GB internal storage to choose from. The processor is definitely a big shout out for all the gamers out there. As far as the battery is concerned, this model has been incorporated with a rather large 5000mAh battery with wired Quick Charge 4.0 compliance. In terms of its camera, V60 has incorporated a 64-megapixel main sensor which uses 4-to-1-pixel binning to take 16-megapixel photos with an effective pixel size of 1.6 microns. The ultra-wide camera comes with 13-megapixel sensor with 1-micron pixels which does create doubt in terms of its low light image capturing capabilities. V60 also caters for 8K video capturing along with an AI-powered lapse mode. Overall, V60 does have a lot going on in it but the choice of owning one depends on user preference and taste.

Qualcomm Adreno 650: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 640 in the Snapdragon 855 SoC and offers 50% more compute units (ALUs). For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in 2020.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

SD 865: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2019 and manufactured in 7 nm at TSMC (improved N7P). Integrates one “Prime Core” based on a ARM Cortex-A77 architecture clocked at up to 2.84 GHz. Three more performance cores are also based on the A77 but clock up to 2.42 GHz. Furthermore, four energy saving cores are integrated that are based on the ARM Cortex-A55 architecture and clock at up to 1.8 GHz. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a WiFi 6 modem (including 60 GHz mmWave support), a Hexagon 698 DSP (up to 15 TOPS) and a Spectra 480 ISP. The integrated memory controller now supports faster LPDDR5 memory with up to 2,750 MHz. LTE is not included anymore in the SoC, but the external Snapdragon X55 5G modem has to be used.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.80":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

78.91%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
