  • LG V60 vs LG V50! Showdown time! The toughest recommendation for ANY manufacturer, is a new phone improved enough to recommend flipping a one-year-old gadget? The V60 is a BEAST, but are there enough improvements here to out-muscle one of the most brutally powerful phones of 2019?

      Big question 🛡️: I'm looking to order 2nd hand phone as main camera + spare time gaming, choice between:
      Google Pixel 4
      Huawei p30
      Honor 20 pro
      Iphone SE 2020
      Samsung galaxy s10+
      Xiaomi Mi 10 Note
      LG V50 5G
      All cost where I'm now around 400-450$ as second hand. And no, no one import pixel 4 A here yet.
      How V50 compared to others on the list? What if using Gcam on v50 does it get close to iphone and pixel 4?
      Kindly help me,
      Thank you 🙏

      You're awesome! I had come conclusion time and time again that Samsung was way too expensive or not as good of a upgrade and not worth the money compared to what I will get on a LG. I was a little sad to see the g series phone leave, but the G8 was a pretty great phone to have.
      If getting about a day and a half of use out of my G8 was not enough, the audio output from the main speakers are crazy! I'm assuming it will probably be the same for the v60, but the G8 equalizer will actually boost your audio, not just tweak which sound Wave comes across stronger. I mean the LG main speakeris actually too loud if you adjust all of The equalizer settings to maximum.
      I never really cared for a quad HD display, and on my G8 I have it dialed down to the lowest resolution. And the reason is exactly for receiving higher battery life. I don't really care about putting my nose up to the screen to try to find the separate pixels. I think the v60 is on point with several things, including the lower resolution display.
      Thank you for saying a lot of what I've been telling other people about LG being a great phone compared to Samsung. Usually, the Samsung guys will tell me about some top and specs that don't make sense to me, and are specs that really don't matter to me.

      Personally I'd have taken the 1440p display with higher refresh rate. I think the dual screen concept is cool for a small number of people but that it won't appeal to most folks enough. I can see why LG did it, as they can't just keep making the same design and expect to get different results. But personally i wouldn't use the second screen much and have never felt the need for it while im making content on my V30+. I love the 1440p res on this thing and can definitely notice the difference.

  • @mistamaog
    @mistamaog Před 4 lety +3

    I hesitated, but decided to pull the trigger on the V60. My hesitation was from the lack of high refresh rate, but considering I've been complaining about battery life on my phone, and the fact that many of it's competitors are dropping the headphone jack, I went and pulled the trigger. It'll be my first LG phone.
    The resolution going down doesn't bother me, because I have tested an S20 Ultra in stores and could not tell the difference between 1440p and 1080p, and that's a 6.9" display. The dual screen seems like it can be really cool for gaming. And the biggest reason I bought this phone is the BOGO deal on my carrier.
    The more I watch videos on this phone, the more I find it appealing. It's easy to complain just by looking at numbers, which I'm guilty of. But I think we're all aloud to complain when that number is pricing, and this year's Samsung phones are out of control with pricing.
    So I'm officially switching from Samsung to LG.

    I love you reviews Juan. I watched both this video and the LG v50 video about a year ago and now that LG has quit making phones I'm at a toss up between that LG v50 versus the LG v60 yet again! Lol. I really want the LG v60 just because I don't already own a LG v50 and it's the last and the best of its kind! I've always been an LG phone guy versus the typical Apple or Samsung guy.
    LG made good phones for a little less versus the more popular brands and it's sad to see them step out of the cell phone game.

    Love how you rock LG and give them the love they deserve. I sell phones. LG is my most common phone to bring out. If I can get a customer to actually look at it they generally buy it. Issue is they here LG and flip out and want to see their beloved Samsung. I have a 95% close rate when they actually let me demo the phone and they see how legit they really are.

    A Verizon V50 owner I was disappointed that the dual screen option didnt come to the US for this phone. I wasnt going to downgrade to the G8X.

    I just got a V50, partly due to your praise for it, and the way I see it I think that the V60 might not have been the phone for me had I waited. I upgraded from a Pixel 2 XL, from necessity otherwise I would've held onto it (and I'm currently not impressed with the pixel line). I LOVE having a fingerprint scanner on the back, in screen ones are a gimmick, I don't really like face unlock that much. I don't care for a dual screen, though the option would've been nice. You're right about how overpowered our smartphones are so despite having a better benchmark scores, I'm sure day to day use would be largely the same. But damn, there really is no replacement for displacement when it comes to battery, and even then the V50 battery is pretty solid. As for photo quality, if we're going with auto, why not just side load the gcam app for the V50 and have more hardware at your disposal?
    At the moment I don't think I'd swap my V50 for a V60, but that's just me. Marginal improvements with some changes I don't like but obviously still a great phone and nice to see the price being more competitive.

    Is the V60 DAC Quality better or worse than it's predecessor? I'm getting more audiophile-ey and have been hearing that the V50 offered the last great Quad DAC.
