Have the V60 and paid well under $700 for the phone and screen case in brand new unopened condition. For that price the V60 has more to offer so no need to compromise.
The reason things are set up differently on the Velvet is because it's the first phone with LG's new UI: Velvet UI. So that explains all the differences you're seeing. 😊
Hey J! Great video. To duplicate apps on the second screen on the V60: 1) press the app drawer icon on the second screen. Your app list will open 2) swipe to the app Page that has the app you wish to launch from the second screen home page 3) press and hold the app. Left swipe the app over to the second screen home and place it on the grid. And voila. I have 9 apps that I can launch from the second screen if I do choose.
Yeah that’s useful but not actually the same as a two app shortcut. The way you’re describing eliminates the app swiping part..but you still need to open the other app on the main screen.
@@Spykedjadedragon actually you don't. The apps on screen to can be launched independently from what's on screen 1 and can run side by side. In the settings there is an turn on app drawer slide button which has to be turned on for it to work correctly. You can clear all apps from either screen as well.
The one small difference you didn't point out that is important to me on the V60 that isn't on the Velvet is AX(WiFi6) support. As 5G support expands and hotspot capability becomes more widely available over time this will become more and more important. This is probably something that is more important to me than most, but worth pointing out.
Great info. I am liking the V60 so far, the Velvet came out shortly after I purchased my V60. AT&T is essentially selling both phones for the same price (Velvet $599, V60 $899 with $300 upgrade rebate). If you do a new line of service with AT&T you can get either the Velvet or V60 for the same price ($10 per month for 30 months). Happy with the V60 thus far, but both phones look like good choices.
They were a few reviews saying the LG Velvet was inferior to the LG V60. After watching a few of your videos though I got to say I'm impressed with the LG velvet.
Thank you for this review! Funny, I was going to comment that I appreciate you pointing out what is and what isn't important in a phone and that your review made me think of CZcamsr Juan. So often people get caught up in specs when they shouldn't, so shout out to you CZcamsrs who keep it real! I have the Note 8 and was set to purchase the Note 20, but became reluctant because of the hefty price tag. I am definitely considering the Velvet.
J. Thanks for the great side by side of these two phones. It's helped me make my decision. I currently have the Note 10+ and am going to leave it for LG. Mainly because Samsung's prices are getting WAY out of my price range and these two phones have the ability to use the Wacom stylus, which now gives us spen users an option. Thank you so much for this comparison.
Hey J keep up the great work brother! Just wanted to give you aheads up with my experience with the v60 dual screen and to give you a warning! Yesterday I dropped my v60 with the dual-screen case from a distance about 3 ft off of my lap and onto my linoleum floor the screen was open the front glass on the v60 spider webbed and shattered like a bomb went off I went and checked the reviews and all the details from T-Mobile and LGdoesn't cover the dual screen whatsoever! And the only way to trade it in is to do a full repair on the whole phone. And LG wants me to send in the case for a diagnostic and pay $20 for that for them to prove that it is necessary for them to fix it free of charge if not LG wants to charge me $250 for a new dual screen... Be super careful man.
Ouch. I'm really sorry my friend. Some people on local selling sites are selling the dual screen for as low as $80. I can share the offer up link for you. I just picked up a dual screen one myself. $525 new sealed & paid off from T-Mobile. I read on some of the screen protector reviews that the screen protectors actually work and fit on the dual screen. Someone on the Droids4life Facebook group also said that there is a spray on application that you can use too for protection. I wonder if any of these things would help to better protect the dual screen?
My G8X has the same setup as the V60,but I really like the way they did it on the velvet. I hope those kinds of things and other dual screen options will come in an update because there's so much potential they aren't tapping into.
I have had an LG V 20 for four years and I am on You Tube 24/7 no joke! and it works good! Of course I'm old and it doesn't matter that it's not as fast as everything out there! I am seriously thinking about getting one of these LG 60's though.
I run a university on the LG V20 with a 1TB μSDxC. I just got a V60 for the large two screens, and 64mp camera, and better video. It's going to speed up my day.
The V60 is a mix of the G8X and the Velvet. it has the same looks as the Velvet, but all the settings are basically the same as the G8X. Good news is that LG is supposed to be updating its phones(V50, G8X, to the Velvet UI with all its options. Also, there's an app on the play store called "Dual launch for LG" that does what it says lol
Thanks for being a realistic reviewer, it's almost like a breath of fresh air. I see people complain about Quad Dac, but they are rocking beats by Dre.
It's called "Multi Window" on the V60. You can only do it on the main phone (right) side. So, I have two apps open on the right side and one app open on the left side.
How do the cameras compare? Specifically the look, feel and functionality? I put my v60 against the s20, iPhone 11 pro max and the pixel 4 and the camera on the v60 is SMOOTH AS HELL, nothing close to it AND the pics are amazing (they all go back and forth with Pixel peeping and all look great)! V60 is the best flagship imo, but I'm into the velvet too!
My only reason for getting v60 over velvet is the 5000mah battery.after using huawei mate 20 x and experiencing that great battery life, I've never seen good battery since I sold it. My v60 will replace note 10 plus. Battery anxiety is real. No point having all good features and average battery.
I got the V60 just for the quad DAC. Listening to Tidal MQA files sounds magnificent. I had upgraded from a V40 which was the best sounding phone to me since walking away from Samsung.
I've had 3 Samsung devices quit on me one year. I not going back to Samsung. My LG V20 has been working fine for 3.5 years running a university on Facebook, Google, & CZcams! Now I have a V60, too. Great multimedia devices!
Great unbiased video, man. I have my velvet on the way. Last week I got 2 Motorola Edge Pluses. The Thunder Gray and the Sangria. I got good deals on them both, so literally bought them 2 days apart.
For some people price really matters in a big way, so I appreciate this balanced comparison. It has helped me to better understand. For some, if the need is just conventional end user stuff like my business needs of the day, I can see where the Velvet would be superb. We don't all need absolute maximum spec.
Maybe try looking on the V60 using something like Nova Launcher's activity shortcuts and see if you can find it. If not, I know the stuff the Velvet has that no other phone has is coming to devices like the V60 all the way down to the G7
I would have gladly gotten the velvet however LG like always, dragged their knuckles and release no information on a velvet. Anything that came out about it was few and far apart, so I went ahead and got the v60. I love the overall design on the velvet and wow is that dual case amazing!
I got mine on a promotion inc the dual case and wireless buds for just 500 buck and its just great , I'm cumming from a snap dragon 855 flagship phone and i love the velvet for the price after using it a month , its the best phone price performance wise there is .. because 99% of us do not need a snap 800 chipset in day to day use . this phone on the other hand does give you high end features , wireless charging, pen support , dual screen , a great headphone jack , 5G and it has the cool factor. And you don't always have to carry a brick around you can take it out of the case then its surprisingly light.
Got the v60 as an upgrade from my v30+. Yes my v30+ lasted me 4 years and is actually still going. I despise apple and have never had a Samsung last more than 6 months so I guess I'm an LG fanboy now lol. Anyway I really like the cup and don't have any real complaints so far
was it worth the upgrade? i want to upgrade too but the v30+ is still good to me i treated the phone like shit since it came out and still works the same when i bought it
BINGO the quad dac is only really useful if you plug in something that can actually use it !! it does boost sound and will help regular phones a LITTLE if they work with it at all but its a marginal improvement hard to hear. the advantage is I can plug my full size seinheizer's into my god damned phone and it sounds wonderful! THAT is the power of the quad dac :-)!!
I hope to see LGs cooperation with Microsoft, they could really then improve this DualScreen thing and come into foldables already having experience in similar type of devices
According to the local ATT store the second screen is not a option with the velvet sounds like they need to educate their sales staff the sales staff directed me directly to samsung definitely a focus on samsungs
Nice review Jay. IMHO, I like the Velvet over the V60. As a current iPhone user, who is NOT a brand loyalist (I own the Note 8 & Pixel 2 XL), who’s considering switching to Android, would you recommend buying the Velvet or wait and see what the Note 20 is going to bring to the table?
Hello Mr. Williams, I was just wondering if you ever thought about pulling out the LG Velvet to see how it's flowing along. Going into 2023. Just your initial thoughts. Since LG's mobile department is closed, you know that and they're not making LG phones anymore. What are they stacking up against in the mid-range department of smartphones may not interest you, but I'm curious what you think
Both are great... But choosing to have a V series phone is a big deal (specially if this will be the last ever V LG)... LG Velvet of course is a better looking phone... I don't mind for the proccesor.. But my main concerns are on the Cameras and Battery life... No other LG phone (nor any company) can do what LG V series cameras do (i am still gaging over V30 videos)... Also i think curved edges are over used... So Lg V60 for me. That silver though!! omg !
Ok. I know I'm late to this party. I've been following you since we both used to have HTCU11 phones but I have to LGG8X and the LGV60, both with dual screens and yes, Maybe because I never looked for it before but I remember it being there and forgot where it was, it does have dual app launch. Now that I went looking for it and I don't know if it was just something they added in the UI for Android 12 but it's there. So to clarify if anyone is getting this phone or has this phone and didn't think it was there this capability of dual app launch is on the LG v60.
I agree with you Jay 100% I'm not bothered so much about specs what is important to me is the phone that gives you the updates for longer. I could go for the iPhone had Iphones I'm not a fan. So I'm looking at the Velvet or the Nord and would really like your opinion Jay please and thanks in advance.
Just want to make a comment about the quad DAC - you're not completely wrong on the concept that to the average consumer the difference in the sound quality may be fairly minimal. The thing is the quad-DAC is really going to pique the 'audiophile' market specifically. I agree with your bottom line though: bang-for-buck should be on every consumers mind and that's what reviews are supposed to help determine. Keep up the work my dude
I aint gon lie j, u heart my heart lol. U and one of the other reviewers i watch were the only to say this was your fav phone along with me now u left for the velvet lol. Tbh tho, if this was out when in july when i bought my v60 i kay have considered this instead. I like the look better but overall the v60 is better esp in the camera dept
On the V60 in settings under extentions there is a dual app option and under display settings in the dual screen option there is a multi app selection.
Jay William you say that the LG velvet is not far behind from the V60. But the velvet is behind... V60 has a Bigger better processor... Bigger screen.. it's just bigger and better...
V60 has the better cameras, battery, chipset, and Quad DAC. Pricing reflects this with a $950 to a $700 price tag for the Velvet. But damn 12.5oz for a dual screen smartphone is crazy!
To get to the hue, contrast and sharpness on the lgv60 you have to go into the expert mode. It's similar to the custom mode on the Velvet just different wording.
The Velvet is my favorite phone, but the 765G cpu is weak in gaming. I have a G8x (same specs as the V60 just smaller and slightly less ram) and it runs games flawless while my Velvet has to have the settings on the game set to low. Velvet feels premium and nice though.
I like the Velvet case better than the V60 but as someone who travels with quality headphones such as the Focal Elear, Audeze LCD2c and Fiio FH7 IEMs I don't want to let go of the Dac.
@J.Williams random question or maybe it is not. I just got forced out of my lg g8x by tmobile👎. Now getting velvet, no so sad about that, but I cant find dual screens for velvet anymore. Did you still have your? Are you willing to sell/charitably give?😅 btw great comparison.
I have v60 and i guess with latest update now i have multi app launch and also couldve just set an app to launch on dual screen automaticallly. love my v60 just wish it had better viewing for spanning apps across both screens with smaller crack in middle. i want an 18 yr old and i got a 50 yr old with 5 kids looks like hahaaa.....
QQ so does the dual screen on the velvet when you open a video does the sound reproduce on the same screen or does it come out from the phone screen? Also does the hinge goes 360 or what's its limit? Thanks in advance.
A lot of people who trash a company for their android skin probly have only experienced their $50-$100 prepaid phones. Software optimation is always better on the $400-$1000 offerings from any company. Don't listen to the hatters, do what u do, we love u for it. 👍
Got the V60 just before Christmas $599 New on Ebay....unlocked T-mobile version....AWESOME ! Don't care about the Dual start thing....makes no difference...to me!
Hey J where can I get the LG velvet dual screen case from just the I just got my velvet phone yesterday from t-mobile and it look on LG website but they sold out
I really hope that J or Juan does a comparison review of the ZTE Axon 10 Pro VS the LG Velvet & V60. In J's one video he basically said that the ZTE was a better phone than the Sammy S20+ So it would be cool to see what how he thinks the ZTE compares and stacks up to LG Velvet and V60. I've read some comments on the ZTE on Slickdeals and they were nothing but positive great stuff. Plus B&H Photo just had them on sale, $300 for 128 GB 8 GB Ram & $330 256 GB 12 GB Ram.
Good luck getting the dual screen with T-Mobile, they don't offer it. They have the Velvet for $600 ($588) and then if you want the dual screen, that works with the T-Mobile phone, you have to pick up it from LG for 200 bucks. On top of that at the two T-Mobile stores I stopped in at here in Orange County, CA, one with 5 employees in on the conversation, they didn't know that the Velvet had a dual screen option.
So question, if you could get either of them for the same price, $300, which one would you get? Thats the deal ATT has going for both of them, $10/month. You just have to buy the dual screen separately.
You can use a headphone extension cord and it will kick in the quad sac. But you do have to download tube LG app that tells you if you're in 50 mm headphones zone.
Not getting the V60 for just one reason... As a flagship it should have a 2k screen, not 1080p. If I am changing my Velvet, I would rather pick the V50
Yeah it would be cos the 2 phones are on different software versions Also if u have a carrier branded phone expect less features and slower os updates if u even get updates....carriers are shocking when it comes to crippling phones
I don't get it?? I have the V60 and my home screen on the dual screen is identical to my regular home screen and it works just the same. So to open anything on dual screen I just open it on the dual screen. Some apps even allow me to open 2 instances of the same app or use one app across both screens.
Hey J. Should I wait for V70 to come next year to upgrade from my V30+? Do you think it will have a 90hz display and QHD screen with superfast charging and a punch hole camera like the One plus 8? I'm ready to wait till Dec of 2020 or even Jan 2021. What do you think?
i think the main point of LG is not having a 90hz phone... Specially having a dual screen with it... can you imagine how expensive could this be ?! all that time we were laughig at Samsung's , iphone;s, One plus's and even Xiaomi's prices... But! i trully believe LG can manage an under display front camera...
@@pheba100 I agree to what you say, but those One plus and Samsung features look so tempting and also very practical. I love what LG is doing now but it feels like an incomplete phone for me to even put $800 to it. I'm an audiophile so I got no choice but to choose LG, also their screens are amazing and their hardware too. But a smoother and faster phone would truly make a difference. If there comes a news about a new Lg phone then I'll wait till Jan 2021 or else I'll pick a V60 or a One plus 8 pro.
@@mikedw6748 I'm an all day LG fan, but my V30+ does show stutters and lags even when the phone's storage is more and the phone is well updated. So if you compare One plus phones bro the One plus is hands down best when it comes to the OS and experience. Also the punch hole camera to the left saves a lot of distraction and doesn't hinder the view. Also the 90hz isn't a big feature but why not have it in 2020? Truth be told my V30 stutters while opening gallery, swiping through Instagram and google feed. Stutters even more when there is a Widget on the homescreen. It has an inconsistent face unlock and terrible selfie camera. If you have a One plus then you don't need a Nova launcher and If you have an LG, you definitely need a Nova setup. I like to appreciate what is good in other brands and not just be a stubborn LG fan. Plus a Velvet takes 2 hours to charge full, on the other hand a 1 year old One plus 7 pro charges to full under 1 hour. So ain't that practical for a day to day use? LG is worth the money no doubt,comes with extra features but lacks the basics, One plus has strong basics but lacks the extras.
@@Mumbai-Toronto-NY there is no a 800$ lg phone... Well maybe there is at its lunch... But we all know that in about one month Lg Devices drop as it should have been on any techology... So if you can find the V60 with the dual screen case at 600$ you are totally lucky and wont even think about the 90hz display... And even it you don't just consinder how a phone feels with a 90hz or 120 hz display... Do you seriously believe that the battery can pull through such a powerful display... Don't even metion the cost if your sceen break...

Got the v60 as an upgrade from my v30+. Yes my v30+ lasted me 4 years and is actually still going. I despise apple and have never had a Samsung last more than 6 months so I guess I'm an LG fanboy now lol. Anyway I really like the cup and don't have any real complaints so far
was it worth the upgrade? i want to upgrade too but the v30+ is still good to me i treated the phone like shit since it came out and still works the same when i bought it
@Jeremy was it worth the upgrade? I still have V20 going strong as well. Does the V60 have the doubletap knock on/off feature?
@@midnightsniperSo far so good. Yes it does. 2nd screen doesn't last very long (cracks really easy)but I just use it as a case.
Hey J, can you do a size comparison (side-by-side) between the V60 and Velvet with the cases on?
1 inch difference
They're right next to eachother in this video with the cases one
BINGO the quad dac is only really useful if you plug in something that can actually use it !! it does boost sound and will help regular phones a LITTLE if they work with it at all but its a marginal improvement hard to hear.
the advantage is I can plug my full size seinheizer's into my god damned phone and it sounds wonderful! THAT is the power of the quad dac :-)!!
I hope to see LGs cooperation with Microsoft, they could really then improve this DualScreen thing and come into foldables already having experience in similar type of devices
Oh no!!! Please no foldables.. I've seen Samsung ones and definitely don't want to go there. Rather have my option to go dual/single.
@@onmywayto974 yep agree
According to the local ATT store the second screen is not a option with the velvet sounds like they need to educate their sales staff the sales staff directed me directly to samsung definitely a focus on samsungs
Isn't the new velvet ui going to be brought over to the majority of lgs newer ones?
Nice review Jay. IMHO, I like the Velvet over the V60. As a current iPhone user, who is NOT a brand loyalist (I own the Note 8 & Pixel 2 XL), who’s considering switching to Android, would you recommend buying the Velvet or wait and see what the Note 20 is going to bring to the table?
There is a app in LG to enable dual apps
Pls rank g8x , velvet and v60
Hello Mr. Williams, I was just wondering if you ever thought about pulling out the LG Velvet to see how it's flowing along. Going into 2023. Just your initial thoughts. Since LG's mobile department is closed, you know that and they're not making LG phones anymore. What are they stacking up against in the mid-range department of smartphones may not interest you, but I'm curious what you think
Both are great... But choosing to have a V series phone is a big deal (specially if this will be the last ever V LG)... LG Velvet of course is a better looking phone... I don't mind for the proccesor.. But my main concerns are on the Cameras and Battery life... No other LG phone (nor any company) can do what LG V series cameras do (i am still gaging over V30 videos)...
Also i think curved edges are over used...
So Lg V60 for me.
That silver though!! omg !
Damn that Velvet is not only gorgeous that dual screen case looking mighty high end.
Ok. I know I'm late to this party. I've been following you since we both used to have HTCU11 phones but I have to LGG8X and the LGV60, both with dual screens and yes, Maybe because I never looked for it before but I remember it being there and forgot where it was, it does have dual app launch. Now that I went looking for it and I don't know if it was just something they added in the UI for Android 12 but it's there. So to clarify if anyone is getting this phone or has this phone and didn't think it was there this capability of dual app launch is on the LG v60.
I agree with you Jay 100% I'm not bothered so much about specs what is important to me is the phone that gives you the updates for longer. I could go for the iPhone had Iphones I'm not a fan. So I'm looking at the Velvet or the Nord and would really like your opinion Jay please and thanks in advance.
I notice the second screen on the velvet is the same screen as the 60, it is not curved
Just want to make a comment about the quad DAC -
you're not completely wrong on the concept that to the average consumer the difference in the sound quality may be fairly minimal. The thing is the quad-DAC is really going to pique the 'audiophile' market specifically.
I agree with your bottom line though: bang-for-buck should be on every consumers mind and that's what reviews are supposed to help determine. Keep up the work my dude
I aint gon lie j, u heart my heart lol. U and one of the other reviewers i watch were the only to say this was your fav phone along with me now u left for the velvet lol. Tbh tho, if this was out when in july when i bought my v60 i kay have considered this instead. I like the look better but overall the v60 is better esp in the camera dept
For gaming is the V60 better?
I like the bigger battery in the v60
I agree 💯%¡!
Spec wise isnt the LG v60 better ? So why buy the velvet ?
Using the G8X, the options are the same as the V60. The settings layout is a bit different but all the options are there.
so there are 3 Dual screen phones ? G8X, V60 and V60 velvet?
@@castertroy8850 the korean v50 was the first LG to have dual screen
On the V60 in settings under extentions there is a dual app option and under display settings in the dual screen option there is a multi app selection.
Dope Tech man, love this stuff !!
Good review. Velvet does look great but i would go with the V60 bcuz the much bigger battery.
There is a multi app shortcut now available on play store .
Jay William you say that the LG velvet is not far behind from the V60. But the velvet is behind... V60 has a Bigger better processor... Bigger screen.. it's just bigger and better...
Thanks for doing these side by side. People get too hyped over specs. 200 difference is a big thing Lol. Everyone uses a phone different.
Hi J! Have you got your Sony Xperia 1 II (mark 2) yet? I got mine yesterday. I'm gonna wait on what will be your thought about it. 🤙
V60 is 699 at tmobile now!
V60 has the better cameras, battery, chipset, and Quad DAC. Pricing reflects this with a $950 to a $700 price tag for the Velvet. But damn 12.5oz for a dual screen smartphone is crazy!
To get to the hue, contrast and sharpness on the lgv60 you have to go into the expert mode. It's similar to the custom mode on the Velvet just different wording.
I ended up purchasing a new phone and I went with the velvet. Wish it came with the dual screen case, cant seem to find it anywear xD
AT&T has it on their website foe $199US
The Velvet is my favorite phone, but the 765G cpu is weak in gaming. I have a G8x (same specs as the V60 just smaller and slightly less ram) and it runs games flawless while my Velvet has to have the settings on the game set to low. Velvet feels premium and nice though.
I like the Velvet case better than the V60 but as someone who travels with quality headphones such as the Focal Elear, Audeze LCD2c and Fiio FH7 IEMs I don't want to let go of the Dac.
@J.Williams random question or maybe it is not. I just got forced out of my lg g8x by tmobile👎. Now getting velvet, no so sad about that, but I cant find dual screens for velvet anymore. Did you still have your? Are you willing to sell/charitably give?😅 btw great comparison.
I have v60 and i guess with latest update now i have multi app launch and also couldve just set an app to launch on dual screen automaticallly. love my v60 just wish it had better viewing for spanning apps across both screens with smaller crack in middle. i want an 18 yr old and i got a 50 yr old with 5 kids looks like hahaaa.....
QQ so does the dual screen on the velvet when you open a video does the sound reproduce on the same screen or does it come out from the phone screen?
Also does the hinge goes 360 or what's its limit?
Thanks in advance.
A lot of people who trash a company for their android skin probly have only experienced their $50-$100 prepaid phones. Software optimation is always better on the $400-$1000 offerings from any company. Don't listen to the hatters, do what u do, we love u for it. 👍
I am loving this review and I have only watched half of it.
Got the V60 just before Christmas $599 New on Ebay....unlocked T-mobile version....AWESOME ! Don't care about the Dual start thing....makes no difference...to me!
Hey J where can I get the LG velvet dual screen case from just the I just got my velvet phone yesterday from t-mobile and it look on LG website but they sold out
I really hope that J or Juan does a comparison review of the ZTE Axon 10 Pro VS the LG Velvet & V60. In J's one video he basically said that the ZTE was a better phone than the Sammy S20+ So it would be cool to see what how he thinks the ZTE compares and stacks up to LG Velvet and V60.
I've read some comments on the ZTE on Slickdeals and they were nothing but positive great stuff. Plus B&H Photo just had them on sale, $300 for 128 GB 8 GB Ram & $330 256 GB 12 GB Ram.
Can i use ZTE phone in the US ?
Hey J.... any advise on which one to buy velvet $129 or v60 $199. Both at ebay refurbished with 1 ya warranty. Ps I'm not a gamer. Thanks
Good luck getting the dual screen with T-Mobile, they don't offer it.
They have the Velvet for $600 ($588) and then if you want the dual screen, that works with the T-Mobile phone, you have to pick up it from LG for 200 bucks.
On top of that at the two T-Mobile stores I stopped in at here in Orange County, CA, one with 5 employees in on the conversation, they didn't know that the Velvet had a dual screen option.
The "errs" and "uhms" is kinda like when you get that slight delay when you usibg your phone.
So question, if you could get either of them for the same price, $300, which one would you get? Thats the deal ATT has going for both of them, $10/month. You just have to buy the dual screen separately.
Where does the LG wing fit in? Was it produced after these phones?
I think a high touch sample rate is more important than a high refresh rate.
You can use a headphone extension cord and it will kick in the quad sac. But you do have to download tube LG app that tells you if you're in 50 mm headphones zone.
It's called LG hi fi app
It Will make a huge difference
I purchased a LG Velvet,and its impossible to find the dual screen case. I have no idea why.
Not getting the V60 for just one reason... As a flagship it should have a 2k screen, not 1080p. If I am changing my Velvet, I would rather pick the V50
Go to setting...extensions, then Duel App
For the v60 to work like velvet?
Hello, can you please tell me how to send a scheduled text message on the Velvet?
does the velvet have the lag that others say it do? and how is the cameras?
Yeah it would be cos the 2 phones are on different software versions
Also if u have a carrier branded phone expect less features and slower os updates if u even get updates....carriers are shocking when it comes to crippling phones
There one on my lg v60 I went to the settings app and went to the search bar and looked multi app shortcut
Connecting to Bluetooth speaker which one would sound better ate axon 7 or lg v60?
I have on my.v60 dual screen 2 apps at the same time. I'm watching youtube and watching youtube on the other screen
how?
I don't get it?? I have the V60 and my home screen on the dual screen is identical to my regular home screen and it works just the same. So to open anything on dual screen I just open it on the dual screen. Some apps even allow me to open 2 instances of the same app or use one app across both screens.
What are difference if any with the velvet for At&t and T-mobile and is it worth buying it from T-mobile.
Hey J. Should I wait for V70 to come next year to upgrade from my V30+? Do you think it will have a 90hz display and QHD screen with superfast charging and a punch hole camera like the One plus 8? I'm ready to wait till Dec of 2020 or even Jan 2021. What do you think?
There's no V70 lol
i think the main point of LG is not having a 90hz phone... Specially having a dual screen with it... can you imagine how expensive could this be ?! all that time we were laughig at Samsung's , iphone;s, One plus's and even Xiaomi's prices...
But! i trully believe LG can manage an under display front camera...
@@pheba100 I agree to what you say, but those One plus and Samsung features look so tempting and also very practical. I love what LG is doing now but it feels like an incomplete phone for me to even put $800 to it. I'm an audiophile so I got no choice but to choose LG, also their screens are amazing and their hardware too. But a smoother and faster phone would truly make a difference. If there comes a news about a new Lg phone then I'll wait till Jan 2021 or else I'll pick a V60 or a One plus 8 pro.
@@mikedw6748 I'm an all day LG fan, but my V30+ does show stutters and lags even when the phone's storage is more and the phone is well updated. So if you compare One plus phones bro the One plus is hands down best when it comes to the OS and experience. Also the punch hole camera to the left saves a lot of distraction and doesn't hinder the view. Also the 90hz isn't a big feature but why not have it in 2020? Truth be told my V30 stutters while opening gallery, swiping through Instagram and google feed. Stutters even more when there is a Widget on the homescreen. It has an inconsistent face unlock and terrible selfie camera. If you have a One plus then you don't need a Nova launcher and If you have an LG, you definitely need a Nova setup. I like to appreciate what is good in other brands and not just be a stubborn LG fan. Plus a Velvet takes 2 hours to charge full, on the other hand a 1 year old One plus 7 pro charges to full under 1 hour. So ain't that practical for a day to day use? LG is worth the money no doubt,comes with extra features but lacks the basics, One plus has strong basics but lacks the extras.
@@Mumbai-Toronto-NY there is no a 800$ lg phone... Well maybe there is at its lunch... But we all know that in about one month Lg Devices drop as it should have been on any techology... So if you can find the V60 with the dual screen case at 600$ you are totally lucky and wont even think about the 90hz display...
And even it you don't just consinder how a phone feels with a 90hz or 120 hz display...
Do you seriously believe that the battery can pull through such a powerful display... Don't even metion the cost if your sceen break...
Great content as always..
Love lg retry to use different phones lg always never disappoint for me
