@@TechOdyssey I know it's like a minute later but I just purchased the LG V60 Thinq through T-Mobile over the phone and your review just made me feel even better about my purchase! Thanks!
Amen! This is exactly my point. It may not be perfect, but LG ticked most of the boxes for a flagship phone in a price point that is affordable. Thank you... this will help buyers who tend to get confused with other reviewers clamoring for 120hrz. Great content. I love how you look LG as an option and emphasized its strength and what makes you like it. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot. Hopefully it does help a lot of people. Samsung and Apple get pushed show hard and people really put down LG phones a lot. I use all of them and I think it helps me to retain some objectivity and perspective to talk about the important stuff that they bring to the table.
@@TechOdyssey and for that i will look forward to some of your comparisons. I really appreciate your willingness to try and to love the unconventional beauty of other phones. 😁 keep it up!
Man. Excellent review. I've been an Avid LG Fan for more than a decade. Still using my V20 no problems whatsoever, and it's been almost 3 years. Kinda needs to buy a new battery coz it's quite obvious.
I absolutely LOVED my G4, and ... Im 2 years into my V30 which dont get me wrong, is a supurb phone! But its always had this purple flare issue when i try and take pictures of anything bright or shiny. So my sunsets and anything taken through glass has a major purple flare all over the picture.. 😞 and I think the G4 was a better camera (though i hated the video capturing)
I'm super satisfied with my V60. I had a S20 Ultra for two weeks and it just didn't feel like a $1400 well spent lol. Got this V60 and dual screen for $650 new on Swappa and couldn't be more satisfied. The phone is a certified beast.
1400 is just TOO much money, that is what my gaming pc cost before I upgraded storage and ram. No way am I paying that much for a mobile device that I can drop, loose or get stolen. I love LG phones, its what I have been using for six years. The Dac is a feature that I dont think I can walk away from ever.....
@@TechOdyssey yeah it's unreal. I have a friend who worked at LG mobile, and he said the V70 was going to be insane based on what he knew about it. 120 refresh rate, an updated 64mp lens, 16mp 125 degree ultra wide, 12mp 3x telephoto, 12gb 3.1 ufs, even better speakers, quad DAC, 256 gb (expandable) not sure about screen res.
I've been using this phone for a few days and I'm loving it. The camera is great, speed is super fast, the screen is surprisingly high quality for being only 1080p and 60hz. I just went from oneplus mclaren to this phone.
I have the the 7 pro would you say the dual screen v60 is worthy upgrade I just hit 12 months so I can jump on T-Mobile and my 7pro has begun to have screen burn and my options are the OnePlus 8 or the v60 dual screen. I feel as if the OnePlus 8 is almost a downgrade since I dont like to punch out camera look and I consume media and use multi window so the v60 sounds more enticing
Watched your 72 hours review yesterday, got me to order this. Now that it’s on the way, I am super hyped. Even more so now that I watched your full review.
Awesome. I’m glad it was helpful and you’re excited about the device! Feel free to come back and share your thoughts when you get it. Hope you enjoy it!
Great review! You actually tested the phone out and then did a review which I appreciate. I will be watching your videos from here on out! I have this phone and it is awesome. I have also have the S20 Ultra and I am wanting to sell it, junk- focus hunting on videos and poor battery life. The LG V60 is a solid phone and I like it the best for now.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed all of the work and effort I put into it. It really is a solid phone. I prefer it to my Ultra as well. The only reason I kept the ultra is because I use it for my review videos and the front facing camera is better for that, and also, I can plug my mic right into it and then my portable SSD to drag and drop the files over. Other wise the refresh rate is nice but otherwise it's a bland and way overpriced phone.
This is a real user-experience type of review! Not bombarding with unnecessary and technical features of the phone but including all the important stuff. Amazing attention to details, loved all the mentions and explanations. Subbed directly after watching a single video of yours! Keep up the good work!
Great video, glad I watched it before I upgraded my phone. Allowed me to save $600 without giving up any features I really wanted....and, without having to pay extra for features I really don't need
I've always enjoyed keeping up with whats new and changing in the phone market. I like how you brought other phone makes into this review and gave clear explanations and comparisons. I've had fun with different top of the line Samsung phones over the years and for the past two years have been rocking with the OnePlus 7 Pro 12/256 factory unlocked variant and loving it. Your video was very informative and refreshing. Thanks 5 Stars.
Watching this video on my LG G4. Love LG phones as long as the dreaded boot loop isn't an issue! Phew, we had to hold LG's feet to the fire 🔥 when that happened right? I'm really digging this V60 for sure! I lost my previous LG G4 and bought another off Amazon for $130.00 and i was content, but when i saw this V60 ThinQ i was like, "ok it may be time for me to get back into debt with AT&T again"...lol. Great video my man and thanks ✌️
Yes... The dreaded boot loop. Lol. It was terrible. Thankfully I haven't seen that happen in a while. This phone seems pretty solid. I like it a lot. Thanks for watching
Subscribed just for the quality content and honesty in this video. Glad you give credits where it's due - LG deserves a lot more of it but sadly most mainstream reviewers don't care about any device other than the most popular ones, which is really unfair, unhelpful, and unrealistic.
Honestly I just moved from the Galaxy fold to this phone and I'm loving it so far. Somethings feel like a downgrade, like how it doesn't have facial recognition and only two options for the navigation bar but the finger print reader is more practical for me and the navigation is easy to get used to. It works well for a dual screen phone!! And I love that it has the ability for wired earphones!
I have the Fold, myself, and I also really like this phone. It has a lot of nice features that it brings to the table, even though there are odd things missing like the facial recognition. However, it is $1000 less...
Thanks for the deeper look at the LG V60 ThinQ 5G, I'm going to get the mobile in about a couple of months lets just see how much they will charge in the UK
Smokey Bear solid. It’s on par with my S20 Ultra. It’s exceptional when on WiFi. It drains more battery when in 5G only. Also if you want you can disable 5G and just use LTE to save even more battery if you’re still concerned about it.
Tech oddessey ran across your video never knew u had the LG v60 is a beast even in 2023. It will destroy most phones new can compete against s23 ultra any day.... Keep up good work the dual screen is a charm ♥️
Really good review bro. To be honest, it's exhausting hearing people trash this phone all because of qhd and the cameras. I see no difference in qhd and 1080p in normal day to day use. And I barely ever even use the camera on my phone. My v60 is getting delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out
Sweet. Glad its showing up tomorrow. Also glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. And yeah. I don't get people trashing LG phones all the time. Everyone loves their brand loyalty but so many people put these phones down
NOICE review! Did you end up keeping the LG V60 ThinQ smartphone as your primary device or did you go back to another? I ended up returning mine and went back to my OnePlus 6T.
thank you for your review my friend, I've been going back and forth with buying this phone. As a long time iPhone user and tech guy myself, I haven't found a phone I would feel comfortable switching too. I'm going to buy this phone today.
What I just realized... The phone is excellent, however, if you decide to go double screen, I realized you will have to flip the second screen to the back to hold it as you do usually to type in the keyboard with two hands. Aside from that lg is legitimately underrated. I'm still rocking my g5, after 2 years. I'm very picky, but this phone delivers 100%, no drawbacks.
If anyone is going to buy new phone please watch his video for review b4 buying its worth itt... I'm talking from my experience... and im sure u will never regret it...watching his review. 💐 The most genuine review videos...
I like how we keep saying x amount of ram is overkill to justify buying a phone with less, but in 2 years, it won't be overkill anymore. Remember when 16GB of storage was "plenty"?
Seems like you're confusing Ram with storage. When has anyone ever said 16 GB of RAM is plenty? That's flagship phone ram of today. Hell does a S22 ultra even have 16 GB ram?
Sorry if I've written this twice. Good review, i just had two points. I thought the headphone jack was too small too, but in my case, it just took a little extra pressure to feel a pop and get the headphones to work. My cords with elbows don't work, but straight cables do. 2, I don't know if it was what you meant, but you can have full screen texting in landscape by pressing the keyboard icon on the right side of the keyboard. The text screen will move to the top screen, and the bottom screen will be the keyboard. I agree no facial recognition and the gap between screens can be annoying. Thanks for the video
It's likely a display issue. The V60 has the exact same processor as the S20 Ultra which has 120hz. The display is more than likely what limiting it to 60hz. And thanks!
I LOVED my G8. Got it when it came out in 2019. I did have to send it to warranty twice and both times they replaced the screen. It went haywire every five months. I moved on to the OnePlus 7 Pro a year later for the hidden front camera and 90Hz display and it just made the G8 feel like a laggy, stuttery mess. I started missing the headphone jack and Hi-Fi Quad DAC, so I ended up buying a V60 to fill that need, since the price went down. EDIT: I do suffer with 60Hz displays. They look so choppy compared to the fluid motion of high refresh rate displays.
Hi TEchOdysee , I'm using a pixel 4xl, so I have a decent phone plenty capable. However that being so, I am looking for a backup with a newer chip. I'm drawn to this model for many reasons mainly 865 and size with headphone jack and large battery decent lenses. The only fear is the bootloader if it is locked or if it can be unlocked. If the latter ....I believe it is a no brainer. As support stops. The device can run further with battery swap and software flash. Opinions on this ? Thanks. Great video. My purposes or use of these is all channel use.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it. Unless you just want the larger screen and the dual screen capability I don’t see a huge reason to upgrade from the G8. It’s just now a year old and a really good phone. The V60 is really nice though and I enjoy it. I had the G8 and it was solid too.
@@TechOdyssey Thanks you're right bro the G8 is dope but it's very small in my hands for a 6 inch screen and I just wish the battery were larger, I think I know which one to get
another thing to mention is LG phones have great standby time. unlike other phones with heavy skins, my LG G6 and LG Q6 (they were a bundle back in 2018 clearance sale) have great standby time. They only lost 1-2 percent at most.
I love that it has a music jack. I have a iPhone 12 Pro and a gal s10plus but I love Sam cuz they have the music jack! I need this for games and music!
Nice review. I just ordered the refurb. (I've had good luck with refurbs / returns.) Does anyone really use the dual screen? I usually carry my phone in my front pocket on and off the motorcycle, does the dual setup make it way too bulky?
Great review, the only place anyone has mentioned the headphone port on the case for the 2nd screen being too small for a non standard or thicker 3.5mm headphone jacks. That might be a deal breaker for me as I really wanted to use my Sennheisers with this phone.
@@ninjazzrhythm400 Thanks NinJazz. LG has confirmed they have no plans to release this phone in the UK so now I am going to have to get the Xperia 1 ii or Note 20+
i just got the v60 (w/dual screen 3 days ago (sunday 5-3-20) and... it's amazing. As, before this i had LG's 1st ever "V" phone.. the 150,000% lovely and... "way before it's time"...V10..!! yes, i've rocked a V10 for 5 years... just as their dac audio started... and has excellent cameras... it had a slow chipset.. an ancient qual. 808..!!!... but.. it rocked for 5 years NO ISSUES, one boot loop... got it fixed 5 years ago... fine ever since... has a dual screen on front!!... stainless steel frame....and not one....but...TWO LAYERS OF GORILLA GLASS 4 ON THE FRONT...!!..a wonderful "rubberized" / shock absorbing removable back cover to change out the battery....it's been dropped "a thousand times without a case"....on concrete, asphalt, etc...as high as 5 feet up....i refused to use a case to hide it's beauty...it never cracked/broke.... the phone is a beast.... it still works great, but the V60 pulled me in. now... from a V10 (w/2 screens on the front..). to a V60....(w/ 2 full screens period...!!).... all i can say is WOW..!!... (but i'm holding on to my V10.. one day it will be a collectors item..!! .)... on and off over the years i've had offers from folks who were crazy enough to offer me up to $800 cash for my V10.... because they are hard to find now...and they knew what it could do / has done...from way back in 2015... Hell, LG should do a "remake" of the V10.. call it a ..."V10-Retro"....(like carmakers do..i.e. dodge challenger, charger, etc.)..... and load it up with today's best chipset, a 865+...have a nice 90-120mhz. screen refresh.. ...a 16gb/512gb storage package...have it to look like the old V10.... and it'd sell like no tomorrow........
Maybe you can answer my question. First off thanks for the good review. Is face unlock something that LG can add by way of a software update? Since it already has a front facing camera. Just curious 🤔
Technically, I think the answer is yes. The camera is there and of course the hardware supports it. That's one of the curious reasons I don't understand why they didn't throw it in there... so, I believe so but who knows if they will. And thanks!
@@TechOdyssey Many reasons why they haven't added face unlock. 1. It isn't as secure as apple's Face ID. 2. It isn't that quick either. 3. If a person is taking their time to show their face in front of the cam to unlock their phone, fingerprint unlocking takes the same or less amount of time. 4. The phone unlocking preference of people in order is, Fingerprint > PIN > Face ID > Voice recognition. I guess that's why the left out the face id part.
My only concern is the 1080p display. I’m really digging the V60, but 1440p is a must for me. Maybe their next V will offer that, but if not most likely I’ll just pick up a V60 as it might be cheaper once the newer version is out. Great review.
I have 1080p, 1440p and 2160p computer displays and the differences are obvious. On the other hand, I've yet to be able to notice the difference of 1440p over 1080p resolution on my smartphones other than font size. The screen size of almost 7 inches is just too small for me to notice the difference in pixel density. I do notice high refresh rate. 60Hz looks laggy and stuttery to me on my LG and OnePlus phones. I kept my 7 Pro and keep my 7T Pro running at 90Hz.
That headphone jack issue is the biggest issue for me. I'll probably get it in a couple of years. LG phones tend to depreciate quicker than other phones.
I like the phone more than the Note 10 plus, but I wish I could still have Samsung email. I love the flat screen. I HATE HATE HATE the curved screens of the Samsungs. Annoying. I love LG for two main reasons: first is that when you delete words in message, it goes at a nice pace, letter by letter, instead of deleting words at once; second is that you can add more than 5 apps, up to 7 actually, at the bottom constant app panel. It is my favorite option over all. Also, this phone has a headphone jack. The Note 10 plus doesn't have it, which is very irritating when you're driving in someone else's car and you want to plug in to their auxiliary. This is a nice, smooth, well-running phone.
Good review here. LG gets a lot of hate towards it. They can improve on certain things however, I like them better than Samsung. I'm curious on what Velvet is going to be about spec wise. I have the G7ThinQ. I really enjoy the sound and the overall flow of the phone. I was thinking of waiting for the Velvet or buying this one but not sure yet. I rather a notch than tear drop but I guess I'll get used to that too. Wish my headphone jack on my current phone didn't go bad. Their sound quality is amazing. Good to hear they are not overly clunky with the skin they use over android. Don't mind the no facial recognition as I rather a fingerprint or pin. Good review man. Edit: Just a friendly tip, iron your shirt before recording. Will look better while on camera. I mean this in a consecutive way.
This phone is so hard to find anywhere in Europe. There is no global version. LG is such a weird company, they just ignored the entire EU market and lost millions of dollars.
Nice review, and good call on the RAM, next round of upgrades will probably top 24GB and most people will blindly point to it as the new "standard" for no good reason.
Lol. You're probably right. Heck. My gaming computer only has 16GB of RAM... so yeah. Of course it's important to have enough RAM and I think 8GB is the sweet spot right now for performance and future proof purposes. Even 6 would be OK but with the developments and app features and the OS itself, 8GB seems reasonable. 10-12 is definitely overkill.
I think superior battery life and capacity is slept on, because most non replaceable battery phones are two year 1400 dollar devices. If you have a device that can last two days, well maybe three years from now you will still get over a day with degradation. I hate the trend of non replaceable batteries because it makes phone purchases even more disposable than they were before. V series is my favorite line of phone period though, don't see myself leaving LG anytime soon. The audio solution on this phone flies in the face of current trends and not only that but does it better than anybody else.
The v60 has to be by far the best bang for buck phone I've ever purchased. One year on and still going strong, it does not disappoint
It’s an excellent phone
It’s not often you see a relatively small channel create such quality content, good job 👍🏻

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome aboard
Really good review bro. To be honest, it's exhausting hearing people trash this phone all because of qhd and the cameras. I see no difference in qhd and 1080p in normal day to day use. And I barely ever even use the camera on my phone. My v60 is getting delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out
Sweet. Glad its showing up tomorrow. Also glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. And yeah. I don't get people trashing LG phones all the time. Everyone loves their brand loyalty but so many people put these phones down
How is it so far?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you wasted good money on LG garbage
Underrated channel. Best content on gadgets 👍🏼
Wow. Thanks a lot!
Hi Adam, I liked your review very much, it is pretty detailed, and, a little thing, MrMobile sends his regards.
Thanks a lot. And awesome. I appreciate you stopping by.
This or the Sony Xperia mk2 will be my next phone. Hopefully LG push this phone to suppliers so it's available on contract here in the UK
NOICE review! Did you end up keeping the LG V60 ThinQ smartphone as your primary device or did you go back to another? I ended up returning mine and went back to my OnePlus 6T.
thank you for your review my friend, I've been going back and forth with buying this phone. As a long time iPhone user and tech guy myself, I haven't found a phone I would feel comfortable switching too. I'm going to buy this phone today.
Good luck. I hope you enjoy it
Thanks man.
What I just realized... The phone is excellent, however, if you decide to go double screen, I realized you will have to flip the second screen to the back to hold it as you do usually to type in the keyboard with two hands. Aside from that lg is legitimately underrated. I'm still rocking my g5, after 2 years. I'm very picky, but this phone delivers 100%, no drawbacks.
If anyone is going to buy new phone please watch his video for review b4 buying its worth itt...
I'm talking from my experience... and im sure u will never regret it...watching his review.

The most genuine review videos...
Thank you so much!
I like how we keep saying x amount of ram is overkill to justify buying a phone with less, but in 2 years, it won't be overkill anymore. Remember when 16GB of storage was "plenty"?
Seems like you're confusing Ram with storage. When has anyone ever said 16 GB of RAM is plenty? That's flagship phone ram of today. Hell does a S22 ultra even have 16 GB ram?
Excellent video pal
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
I just sold my s20 ultra and got this. I couldn't take the camera on it, but this phone is great.
Great review, honest and for the normal user not the specophiles that only see numbers.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Thank you for watching.
Sorry if I've written this twice. Good review, i just had two points. I thought the headphone jack was too small too, but in my case, it just took a little extra pressure to feel a pop and get the headphones to work. My cords with elbows don't work, but straight cables do. 2, I don't know if it was what you meant, but you can have full screen texting in landscape by pressing the keyboard icon on the right side of the keyboard. The text screen will move to the top screen, and the bottom screen will be the keyboard. I agree no facial recognition and the gap between screens can be annoying. Thanks for the video
I have this one and I LOVE it. 😍
Very informative Video brother!!!
Is a 90 Hz Refresh Rate a Hardware or Software issue? Note 10 + vs LG v60??? Thanks
It's likely a display issue. The V60 has the exact same processor as the S20 Ultra which has 120hz. The display is more than likely what limiting it to 60hz. And thanks!
I am glad the store was out of the Pixel 4XL. The guys told me about this phone and it is so much better. I have had it a week now and love it.
Nice! Glad it's working out. It's a fantastic phone!
I've been having so many issues with my pixel so I just ordered this. Glad to hear
I've been having so many issues with my pixel so I just ordered this. Glad to hear
Great job
Thanks for the LG love, I have a G8 awesome phone, will probably upgrade to the V50
I LOVED my G8. Got it when it came out in 2019. I did have to send it to warranty twice and both times they replaced the screen. It went haywire every five months.
I moved on to the OnePlus 7 Pro a year later for the hidden front camera and 90Hz display and it just made the G8 feel like a laggy, stuttery mess.
I started missing the headphone jack and Hi-Fi Quad DAC, so I ended up buying a V60 to fill that need, since the price went down.
EDIT: I do suffer with 60Hz displays. They look so choppy compared to the fluid motion of high refresh rate displays.
Hi TEchOdysee , I'm using a pixel 4xl, so I have a decent phone plenty capable. However that being so, I am looking for a backup with a newer chip. I'm drawn to this model for many reasons mainly 865 and size with headphone jack and large battery decent lenses. The only fear is the bootloader if it is locked or if it can be unlocked. If the latter ....I believe it is a no brainer. As support stops. The device can run further with battery swap and software flash. Opinions on this ? Thanks. Great video. My purposes or use of these is all channel use.
Awesome video. Thanks for showing all the point . Not like other reviewers and just bash lg.
Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
True!!
Great video man, watching this on my G8. Love LG phones currently deciding between the v60 or 50 for Verizon what do you think?
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it. Unless you just want the larger screen and the dual screen capability I don’t see a huge reason to upgrade from the G8. It’s just now a year old and a really good phone. The V60 is really nice though and I enjoy it. I had the G8 and it was solid too.
@@TechOdyssey Thanks you're right bro the G8 is dope but it's very small in my hands for a 6 inch screen and I just wish the battery were larger, I think I know which one to get
another thing to mention is LG phones have great standby time. unlike other phones with heavy skins, my LG G6 and LG Q6 (they were a bundle back in 2018 clearance sale) have great standby time. They only lost 1-2 percent at most.
Man, LG v60 is only 180 bucks in PH. This is feature packed for what it is priced at! Solid phone.
Nice detailed review
Thank you very much
Loving this phone, just replaced an S7 with one of these.
Liked and subscribed to your channel great review , I’m an iPhone user but I do love my androids 🙂
Thanks a lot. Welcome aboard!
Graet video all I need now is to get this cellphone for me I'm really Happy with my V20 looking to up the game for my wife this may be the ticket
Excellent review
Thanks a lot
I subscribe of u channel because I see u are Tru reviewer....plus am in the market to get a LG lg v40 or v60
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoy the videos.
I love that it has a music jack. I have a iPhone 12 Pro and a gal s10plus but I love Sam cuz they have the music jack! I need this for games and music!
Great video!
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
I'm still on the G8x and loving it. 5G isn't an issue for me.
Nice review. I just ordered the refurb. (I've had good luck with refurbs / returns.) Does anyone really use the dual screen? I usually carry my phone in my front pocket on and off the motorcycle, does the dual setup make it way too bulky?
How are the security and software updates? Would you happen to know how long they support their devices?
Nice video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Great review, the only place anyone has mentioned the headphone port on the case for the 2nd screen being too small for a non standard or thicker 3.5mm headphone jacks. That might be a deal breaker for me as I really wanted to use my Sennheisers with this phone.
Thanks for watching. Glad I could help.
You just need to guy 3.5 jack with the long tip. I have one and fits well.
@@ninjazzrhythm400 Thanks NinJazz. LG has confirmed they have no plans to release this phone in the UK so now I am going to have to get the Xperia 1 ii or Note 20+
Remove the dual screen case and you can use the headphones or use a slim tip 3.5 tip adapter
@@shaileshpatel4396 Xperia 1 ii anyday 👍
i just got the v60 (w/dual screen 3 days ago (sunday 5-3-20) and... it's amazing. As, before this i had LG's 1st ever "V" phone.. the 150,000% lovely and... "way before it's time"...V10..!! yes, i've rocked a V10 for 5 years... just as their dac audio started... and has excellent cameras... it had a slow chipset.. an ancient qual. 808..!!!... but.. it rocked for 5 years NO ISSUES, one boot loop... got it fixed 5 years ago... fine ever since... has a dual screen on front!!... stainless steel frame....and not one....but...TWO LAYERS OF GORILLA GLASS 4 ON THE FRONT...!!..a wonderful "rubberized" / shock absorbing removable back cover to change out the battery....it's been dropped "a thousand times without a case"....on concrete, asphalt, etc...as high as 5 feet up....i refused to use a case to hide it's beauty...it never cracked/broke.... the phone is a beast.... it still works great, but the V60 pulled me in.
now... from a V10 (w/2 screens on the front..). to a V60....(w/ 2 full screens period...!!)....
all i can say is WOW..!!...
(but i'm holding on to my V10.. one day it will be a collectors item..!! .)... on and off over the years i've had offers from folks who were crazy enough to offer me up to $800 cash for my V10.... because they are hard to find now...and they knew what it could do / has done...from way back in 2015... Hell, LG should do a "remake" of the V10.. call it a ..."V10-Retro"....(like carmakers do..i.e. dodge challenger, charger, etc.)..... and load it up with today's best chipset, a 865+...have a nice 90-120mhz. screen refresh.. ...a 16gb/512gb storage package...have it to look like the old V10.... and it'd sell like no tomorrow........
I'm gonna be buying an LG G8s soon. Always been an LG fan.
Bu question, what gear do you use to film this review?
I used my Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra
@@TechOdyssey Cool. The B rolls too?
I still remember my lg v20. Good times.
The V20 was a good phone other than the heat issues and battery life.
Maybe you can answer my question. First off thanks for the good review. Is face unlock something that LG can add by way of a software update? Since it already has a front facing camera. Just curious 🤔
Technically, I think the answer is yes. The camera is there and of course the hardware supports it. That's one of the curious reasons I don't understand why they didn't throw it in there... so, I believe so but who knows if they will. And thanks!
@@TechOdyssey Many reasons why they haven't added face unlock.
1. It isn't as secure as apple's Face ID.
2. It isn't that quick either.
3. If a person is taking their time to show their face in front of the cam to unlock their phone, fingerprint unlocking takes the same or less amount of time.
4. The phone unlocking preference of people in order is, Fingerprint > PIN > Face ID > Voice recognition.
I guess that's why the left out the face id part.
Great video 👍.
Thank you! I appreciate it
Great phone I too choose this over my S20 ultra
My only concern is the 1080p display. I’m really digging the V60, but 1440p is a must for me. Maybe their next V will offer that, but if not most likely I’ll just pick up a V60 as it might be cheaper once the newer version is out. Great review.
I have 1080p, 1440p and 2160p computer displays and the differences are obvious. On the other hand, I've yet to be able to notice the difference of 1440p over 1080p resolution on my smartphones other than font size.
The screen size of almost 7 inches is just too small for me to notice the difference in pixel density. I do notice high refresh rate. 60Hz looks laggy and stuttery to me on my LG and OnePlus phones. I kept my 7 Pro and keep my 7T Pro running at 90Hz.
after completing the entire gta 4 with 15 fps and 480p resolution on my shitty laptop, even 30 fps with 720 p screen seems like heaven to me.
That headphone jack issue is the biggest issue for me. I'll probably get it in a couple of years. LG phones tend to depreciate quicker than other phones.
I like the phone more than the Note 10 plus, but I wish I could still have Samsung email. I love the flat screen. I HATE HATE HATE the curved screens of the Samsungs. Annoying. I love LG for two main reasons: first is that when you delete words in message, it goes at a nice pace, letter by letter, instead of deleting words at once; second is that you can add more than 5 apps, up to 7 actually, at the bottom constant app panel. It is my favorite option over all. Also, this phone has a headphone jack. The Note 10 plus doesn't have it, which is very irritating when you're driving in someone else's car and you want to plug in to their auxiliary. This is a nice, smooth, well-running phone.
Yes. Curved displays really are annoying. Thankfully they have gotten better than they used to be but I am not a fan.
Had a s8 cracked the curved screen in one week,just bad.
Very nice video. My question is why is there a camera notch on the extra screen?
Because LG. 😂 I can only imagine it saved them money on making another screen without the notch.
Thankyou so. Much for not being one of the ones stuck on hz bandwagon
Thank you
Good review here. LG gets a lot of hate towards it. They can improve on certain things however, I like them better than Samsung. I'm curious on what Velvet is going to be about spec wise. I have the G7ThinQ. I really enjoy the sound and the overall flow of the phone. I was thinking of waiting for the Velvet or buying this one but not sure yet. I rather a notch than tear drop but I guess I'll get used to that too. Wish my headphone jack on my current phone didn't go bad. Their sound quality is amazing.
Good to hear they are not overly clunky with the skin they use over android. Don't mind the no facial recognition as I rather a fingerprint or pin. Good review man.
Edit: Just a friendly tip, iron your shirt before recording. Will look better while on camera. I mean this in a consecutive way.
Really?
Love mine!! the 2 screens are SO cool and a great price!
Glad you like them!
This phone is so hard to find anywhere in Europe. There is no global version. LG is such a weird company, they just ignored the entire EU market and lost millions of dollars.
Nice review, and good call on the RAM, next round of upgrades will probably top 24GB and most people will blindly point to it as the new "standard" for no good reason.
Lol. You're probably right. Heck. My gaming computer only has 16GB of RAM... so yeah. Of course it's important to have enough RAM and I think 8GB is the sweet spot right now for performance and future proof purposes. Even 6 would be OK but with the developments and app features and the OS itself, 8GB seems reasonable. 10-12 is definitely overkill.
This is one of the best of cell phone video recording is the best 8k n lg cell phones r very ine very strong. Best of luck.
YEP,the best device of 2020!!!💯
Prob gonna get one tomorrow
I think superior battery life and capacity is slept on, because most non replaceable battery phones are two year 1400 dollar devices. If you have a device that can last two days, well maybe three years from now you will still get over a day with degradation. I hate the trend of non replaceable batteries because it makes phone purchases even more disposable than they were before. V series is my favorite line of phone period though, don't see myself leaving LG anytime soon. The audio solution on this phone flies in the face of current trends and not only that but does it better than anybody else.
i just bought the LG V60 I think the dual screen did it for me I let my daughter have my google pixel 4 xl and am keeping my note 10 plus
Oh cool! I hope you enjoy it.
