Viper1970, 27 Dec 2020If LG would make a phone like the V60 with a 90hz display, ... moreSo true. Fully agree with it i believe. They will come back strongly this year. & provide more regular software update.

Creating differentiation & unique identity is great. Lg has done it with amazing sound, q-dac, tuned display, crispier photo, most of all amazing manual mode on video.

I believe just a little tweaking of theri UI, stable update, 3 proper camera with out breaking DXO MARK. Will bring the mobile division right on track.

Good luck Lg.
So far in 2020 you guys are right on track. Hope 2021 will bring the good changes

    If LG would make a phone like the V60 with a 90hz display, and 3 proper cameras, AND go for a more pure Android experience, it would be a runaway hit. LG's photo processing has always been really good, I started off on the G2/3/4/V10/30/ and now the 60. And I've never had one complaint about the photo prowess of their flagships. Just stop being so darned stubborn about the UI.

      That's because the chip is called a 888 🤣

        Imagine losing smartphone race to Oneplus.
        Imagine LG releasing modern version of v30 with back fingerprint scanner, small footprint and high end specs.

                  Google went with the Snapdragon 7xx series over the Snapdragon 8xx series in the Pixel 5.
                  LG might follow.

                                SD875 will be very expensive and LG's chances of competing for actual sales in the high-end are abysmal.

                                Good move, imho.

                                  smart move. 775 will be one of the highest mid-range chipsets, I might consider this if the price is right. 2021 is going to be the best year yet for hardware phone enthusiasts.

                                    But, it wouldn't matter anyway, because they are not launching LG flagship devices in Europe lately. Only cheap Q series or something.
