I've had the phone for 2 weeks now and am still finding hidden surprises. I'm not a gamers which is almost too bad as this phone seems like a gamer's dream! Every gamer on YouTube as used that phrase or something similar. I use the phone for 3 primary tasks. Reading is first. Books, internet pages and documents are a breeze, especially on the dual screen using WideMode app which allows any app to take advantage of both screens. Writing is next. I write quite a bit and have several choices on how to do that. I can use the 2 screens in MS Word to have a large area of text one one and a full keyboard on the other. I can also use a Wacom pen (not included) for more accurate swipe keyboard inputs with LG, Swype and Swiftkey keyboard. And then, I can also use handwriting recognition. This is an input method that mostly disappeared with WindowsCE and I've missed it! Third and possibly most important is using my V60 to listen to music. With the 32bit DAC AND a headphone jack, the V60 outclasses every single phone on the market. EVERY SINGLE ONE! Seriously, I have never owned any audio component that sounds better than the V60 including my top of the line Sony amp (may it rest in peace.) What's more, with the bright and accurate screen as well as powerful stereo speakers, I am actually finding myself watching movies on my phone. That's something I have refused to do on any of my previous Samsung or LG phones. If you pull up a spec sheet, you find the phone has so many things that Samsung, Motorola, Huwei and ZTE have cut from their phones. A few are; SD card slot, headphone jack, DAC, NFC, 5,000ma battery, Wacom digitizer screen, spacially separated stereo speakers, a useful, but not required second screen, and good cameras. And possibly the most important thing, a price (on T-Mobile) that undercuts the competition by hundreds of dollars! Because of a one-time deal, I ended up getting the dual screen V60 for literally half what I was going to pay for a Samsung that only had about half these features. I admit, that Samsung phone does have a better camera, but it's not worth DOUBLE the price!

Hello! Anyone is experiencing any issues with text messages in this phone? I'm getting 'cannot send message - error 8' popup info when trying to push out SMS to some numbers (completely random, sometimes same numbers are working correct; MMS is also working correct). My operator (T-Mobile) checked everything twice and is officially saying that this is not network problem (there is no sign of SMS delivery in his system log files, so phone is not pushing them out...). I wonder if I should change V60 on something else or there is a solution for this 'error 8' problem?

no one tells me that this badass phone, which is far cheaper than note 20 and using sd865 chipset has an actual working wacom stylus, has FM radio, had dual monitor accessories and can even use desktop mode, and the most important is it has a headphone jack!! LG YOU GOTTA BETTER TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THIS AND PLEASE STOP SCAMSUNG DOMINATION!!!

RishiGuru, 25 May 2020Updated LG QuadDAC implementation...... a) ESS ES9218P S... moreMy V50 sounds better Vshape/bassy as compared to my old V30S, a bit balanced. Volume level sounds louder from volume 25 on the V60 will be vol 30 on the V30S. Havent tried with HP since I only have 3 IEMS. They all sounded better IMHO.

For location, please add support for NavIC also when you launch similar 5g mobiles in India.

Sure wish LG would just sell their phones in the US unlocked. It's the phone I want, but I will not buy it through a carrier and be required to use their service. SMH.

Ron7i, 22 Jul 2020Everything is sooo great except that notch! Honestly i do not know how these notch and punch hole stuff became the norm. There is a terrible lack of varieties in the smartphone market. I miss 16:9 ratio phones

Ahmad963, 18 Jul 2020No QHD+ 120 hz 10 bit Display No UFS 3.1 No DDR5 Ram No ... moreFor the price in US, there's nothing similar. Buy it with double screen for $810, sell second screen for $200 easily, and you have great phone for $600 24 months no interest

Ahmad963, 18 Jul 2020No QHD+ 120 hz 10 bit Display No UFS 3.1 No DDR5 Ram No ... moreThe last comment you made explains why it lacks some features. Athough for a flagship it lacks QHD 120 hz etc etc etc, the 3.5 jack (especially LGs jack) and reasonable price (and still be a top quality phone,MIL-STD-810G IP68) are for the win here. At least my point.

No QHD+ 120 hz 10 bit Display
No UFS 3.1
No DDR5 Ram
No 12 Ram choice
Low selfie Camera resolution
No 3.2 USB
No fast charging like 45W or more
No fast wireless charging
But at least it does have a headphone jack and reasonable price

We in South Africa got the LG V60 256gb version with ufs 3.0 speeds and a good pair of wired earphones in the box. So just to be clear there is a 256gb version of this phone also. Reviewers will always use the 128gb version of the phone and state that it "only" ships with 128gb storage space.

DocStrange, 06 Jul 2020Have had this since new, and honestly have had nothing but ... moreLG fixed the problem with the latest June update, they also tweaked the image stabilisation so we get better stabilisation when shooting videos in 4k.
Speaker mute problem is something of the past now, atleast for me.
