    I am inline with you on Samsung flagships having better display than LG V60. I don't own a V60 but i own a pair of LG V30's. And the V30's blows away the Samsung S8+ in terms of audio quality & headphone driving power through 3.5mm audio jack. However I pair some nice cans like Brainwavz HM5 or Philips SPH9500 or Creative Aurvana Live II. Any cans over 50 ohms impedance should give better results with V60. My V30's QuadDACs removes many layers of sonic glaze for better audio purity no matter which genre I play.

      Was high impedance mode triggered with the BB cans?

        Yeah the puns fly, the tempers flare, and after the edit bays close for the night, well...

        Yep, you're right on(:)), but there were the round vs pointed issues, too. I think in my case, it might very well be the (I can't resist this...) virgin unit. There is still quite a difference in how the jacks seat (firm or not so firm). The loosey ones don't stay in and of course audio is intermittent. I've never had a phone with a jack as stiff as this. You almost need a hammer.

        That guy Jack, he didn't make much of an income, but not even Bill Gates has Jack's celebrity.

        I spent a lot of time auditioningvia WiFi the DAC and comparing it to the Galaxy S8+, using $55 buds from Best Buy (there's no brand ID on them and I tossed the box). The S8+ has more flexibility and tweaks, as well as a richer sound with more depth and color. I auditioned classical, various flavors of modern jazz and big band, hiphop, remixes in various contemporary genres, lots of musique concrete, and more. The tracks came from either YouTube Music, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, or Soundcloud over clean and quick fiber.

        In general, I am not impressed with the LG at all. On many tracks the S8+ actually sounded significantly better, surprisingly.,

        There is a caveat to this, I am from 30% to 90% deaf in a few selected frequency bands. (My doc and I have mapped 200hzhz bands from 20 to 20k. Doc thinks its because of so many onstage hours and military underwater escapades. So that needs to be taken into account. Younger dudes will probably have better hearing.

        I also compared many tracks coming from the phones hardwired and Bluetoothed at my workstation. (Fiber signal into box and out through a Soundcraft mixer) using low-cost to high-cost cans.

        Also tried Bluetooth while recording for a client, Therein is another complaint I have about this particular V360: It won't hold a Bluetooth connection. It pairs OK, but disconnects within 2 seconds of the connect command, whereas the S8+ stays locked in until I exceed the range in our home/studio which is from 35 to 75 feet depending on where we are and what we had for breakfast.

        So that's another neg. And I can't get the colors to look as well as the S8+. Everything on the LG has a washed out, weak, no guts (to be polite) look. Haven't tried it's camera yet and probably won't. Its going back tomorrow,

        If anyone wants to ask specific questions, shoot.

            Has anyone seen this in any online shop? Does anyone own that was not a review unit? Are we having another Note 7 where it was pulled from everywhere?

              yakattack, 03 May 2020Update and a few Q: Re headphone jack: I'm not sure why,... moreAny headphone female jack should accommodate the male jack. It's highly odd of not doing so. Sometimes in new phones the sprung connectors are very hard and some force is required to insert the male jack for the first few times. After a month of use the sprung tension inside the female jack reduces and easy insertion is possible.

              Don't take my comments otherwise!!!

                yakattack, 02 May 2020OH-OH!!!! Just received the new LG V60 thinq 5g ATT. Yes i... moreUpdate and a few Q:

                Re headphone jack: I'm not sure why, but when I wrote the above the headphone Jack was wonky as noted, Later, since this is a scoring studio we have lots of 3.5 dudes, lots, going all the way back into the 1980s. So I spent most of the day jacking..... Good side is I canned the oldest ones. On the way to the trash they visited the V60 and some of the newer ones with the pointed ends actually did work. But some didn't actually pop home, not even a hint of detent, but there was audio plus a DAC setup pop-up. These ones I wouldn't trust in a jiggling pocket, but some I would.

                Bottom line: I suggest purchasing from an ATT factory store if at all possible. W hen the paperwork is ready for you to sign, don't, until you get them to try your phones in that unit. Let them do the work, but then you ask for some hands and ears on time to see what you think. Good luck!..

                Now the Qs:

                1) has anyone lived with the LG GS8? What's the screen clarity like and, if possible, has any non-journalistic person spent significant time with the Galaxy S10+ and compared it to the V60 or other larger-size LG?

                This V60 will probably go back and I'll wait for the S10+ to flow again.

                Maybe someday there'll be a competitive Pixel again, Motorola will hook up with AT&T, skins and bloat will become user-friendly, Amazon will sell affordable iZoom transporters, Samsung will package vBiots (virus killers) in every kitchen appliance and social distancing will.... Stay healthy folks!

                  yakattack, 02 May 2020OH-OH!!!! Just received the new LG V60 thinq 5g ATT. Yes i... moreWell that sucks...dealbreaker for sure

                    OH-OH!!!!
                    Just received the new LG V60 thinq 5g ATT. Yes it does indeed have a headphone jack BUT (big Butt)
                    Headphone jack will not accept the plug for every 3.5 mm earbuds or headphones in this sound studio.

                    BIG BUMMER and please be aware that, until I uncover the true reason why, if you're planning on buying the LG v360 thinq 5G (hereafter referred to as the V60) you may want to be sure to check this schmozzle out for yourself.

                    Here is what I know or think at this moment:
                    1) This V360 was assembled with an older (and not used much anymore in the USA), jack that requires a rounded, male connector on the headphones.

                    Given LG's spotty LG's spotty record for quality in all their products)

                    2) For some reason LG has decided to use a connector that requires a 3.5mm male plug with a rounded tip, not the pointed ones which are more prevalent today in less expensive earbuds and headsets. The result is that a Tip/Sleeve (TS: 2 black banded insulators) or Tip/Ring/Sleeve (TRS: 3 black banded insulators), IF it has a more common pointed tip will not achieve a connection in the V60. You will immediately notice this because the male connector will not firmly seat (usually felt in your fingers) into the female connector on the phone.

                    ********CAUTION:L Do not force the insertion (:)) cuz there's a good chance you'll compromise the connector inside the chassis, thus invalidting any warranty claim, much less other possible damages to circuitry or software.

                    Bottom line??? This is a deal-breaker for me and the unit is being returned. We cannot/don't want to use BT headsets or earbuds in this studio for various reasons. At convenient store like Target, Walmart, BestBuy, etc, I have not been able to find headsets or buds anymore with the rounded tip.

                    Am wondering if LG divided the production run into global zones where the older tip is still prevalent and another where the newer pointed tip rules. In any case CAVEAT EMPTOR. Too bad as there's a lot to like about the V60, PROVIDED LG has dealt with the heat sink issues of the V10. There's a hulk lot of power coursing around inside the V60.

                    Other thoughts about it: As has been stated many times by many people, the LG skin and other software leaves a lot to be desired. Its just plain cumbersome, adolescent, and just plain from tghe early days of Android. It needs to be reborn, or better yet offered as an option for the user to select or assasinate.

                      I don't care about the comparison between v40 and v60, I only care about comparing the V60 against the other flagships, and the lack of telephoto camera in V60 is wrong choice from LG.

                        Phones fan, 01 May 20202x optical zoom can only make 1 meter closer to your object... more On my tests for indoor lighting V60 to V40 I was able to rich the V40 to using the actual zoom lens by spot lighting the subject with a 2000 lumen flashlight to mimic outdoor lighting. Seeing as how the zoom lens does not have Amy kind of stabilization optical or otherwise it was extremely difficult to get good focus on V40 without being smeared by small movements. Even at it's best with no smearing though it was still substantially worse than the V60. I even tried giving it an advantage by putting the v60 in 64MP mode which truly needs lots of light to look good but given the use of my spotlighting the V60 won handily on both 64MP mode bright light & 16MP zoomed in.

                          Germanium, 01 May 2020Telephoto is over rated. Crop zoom on V60 better than most ... more2x optical zoom can only make 1 meter closer to your object, it is just there for marketing, Xiaomi call it portrait mode.

                          LG choice of not including a telephoto in the V60 is a mistake, if you like LG don't defend wrong choices, that is what destroyed nokia, htc and will soon destroy LG.

Crop zoom on V60 better than most optical zoom sensors due to the others lower resolution even at the minimum zoom. Juan Bagnell has you tube video addressing this very issue. My own tests between the V40 which has 12MP zoom camera & V60 which uses crop zoom show that the crop zoom of the V60 is far superior in normal room lighting to the optical zoom sensor in the V40.

                                Found that in really low light auto focus does not focus properly. Fortunately when you do the focus lock trick it open the option for manual focus even though you are in auto mode. The focus is a stepped focus with limited steps so best focus my be between 2 focus stop points but better that than being 2-3 steps out of focus which happens on really low light even with focus lock. Focus lock works great though in normal room lighting.

                                    Krish, 30 Apr 202064MP rear camera sensor is Sony made 686 not from SamsungSony IMX686 sensor size is 1/1.7 whereas the Samsung sensor size is 1/1.72 which is slightly smaller. The specs for the LG V60 says sensor size is 1/1.72 indicating likely Samsung sensor unless spec is wrong for LG V60.
