I would go ahead and buy it, if it would not be a colossus of a phone. Make it below 160mm high, 72mm wide and less than 170gr, I`ll be the first to buy.
I love that it`s sturdy and certified with a military grade standard, quite unique attribute in the current market. This phone wont break by swiping it off from your bedside table.

The best flagship to date with the most complete specs such as microSD, 3.5mm jack, Quad DAC, 64MP with OIS, and big battery 5000mAh. Good job!

There is supposedly a 256GB version in the works.
How the heck do you know their fingerprint scanner is bad? Until you have the phone, you don't know.

I really hope with the new design LG has teased. The punchhole, & notch concept goes away & if we can see wider screen ratio on the LG v70.

joe nodden, 25 Mar 2020Ugh my other reply is to be approved by a moderator which w... moreIn actual fact Samsungs hybrid zoom is nothing more than a crop of the 64MP sensor set to 64MP to get to same quality of main sensor. LG does exact same thing but is not hiding what they are doing behind a marketing name & is only claiming 2x lossless zoom compared to using the main sensor at 16MP.
That makes Samsungs zoom a digital crop just like LG's zoom function.
I don't know if Samsung allows direct access to the 64MP sensor but LG does in fact allow direct access to it, it's just not by default, you have to choose it whenever you open the camera viewfinder, even if you don't actually leave the camera app.

I forgot to mention that my settings for the G cam app got rid of the pinkish blown out photos.

Did some more testing of the cameras on the V60. Auto in bright sunny days is not good even with HDR locked on all the time. I took several photos of the same scene & all were so blown out that much detail was lost. 16MP images only took a little over 2MB to save, there was so much loss of detail.
On the other hand turning on the 64MP option produced images that were bordering on under exposed & had no option for HDR turned out fantastic with massively improved detail even if a little on the dark side compared to real life, the effect is fantastic photos worthy of postcard production & would look great enlarged to 8 by 11 size without showing much in the way of digital defects.
Pictures taken in lower light situations look ok on auto on 16MP setting but one is still better served to install the G cam APK. The G cam app produces pictures with better dynamic range. I used HDR+enhanced with advanced setting set to combine 12 images. I also set the JPEG quality to100% from 95% for the G cam app. The stock setting still produces blown out images with some odd pink color in blown out area on the G cam app but the G cam app does produce more detailed images which on average are twice as large in file size than the stock LG camera app.
Unfortunately there is no 64MP option in the G cam app but the stock LG camera app does great there all by itself even without the option for HDR. File sizes are huge but truly representative to how large they should be to adequately capture detail for that many MP. I'm talking 20 to 30 megabytes as opposed to 2 to 6 megabytes for stock LG camera app or 10 to 12 megabytes for the G cam app at my current settings at 16 MP. The 2 megabyte file sizes were for the stock LG camera app on auto in bright sunshine which caused severely blown out image even with HDR locked on.
In lower light you would be hard pressed to do better than stock LG camera app however in most situations the the G cam app with my settings will do slightly better than stock camera at default 16MP setting in all situations except if you use the 64MP option on the stock app as the detail is almost always better there even if only slightly compared to G cam app.

These 2 are the only ones not biased by Samsung and Apple and they are the only ones honestly judging LG phones. They do a wonderful work.

thePulsar16, 29 Mar 2020But it lacks of a telephoto sensor. It's like Xiaomi's Mi 1... moreThat's silly, many flagship phones don't have telephoto cameras. That only became a thing around 2016, so what were all the high end phones considered then? Non flagships because they lacked a telephoto camera? There are many flagship phones without a telephoto camera; iPhone 11, LG G8, Samsung Galaxy S10e, and so on... as a matter of fact Samsung advertises the S20 and S20+ as capable of 3x optical zoom, but that is totally misleading.
Thr Galaxy S20 and S20+ do not, in fact, even offer an actual optical zoom. The phones only have optical zoom of about 1.06x—non-existent for all intents and purposes. Instead, the telephoto cameras of the phones use a 64 MP sensor with a wide-angle lens and crops into the image to offer Samsung's "3x hybrid optical zoom"! OnePlus also advertised 2x and 3x lossless zoomfor the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 7 Pro, while the phones only truly had about 1.6x and 2.2x optical zoom respectively!
Under your theory it could be argued that the Google Pixel 4 isn't a flagship because it also lacks a Ultra-wide-angle lens, while just about every other major phone maker does.
