LG V60 ThinQ 5G review

19 April 2020
While we were all expecting a successor to the G8, LG instead announced a successor to the V50. The LG V60 ThinQ 5G is the latest fully featured flagship smartphone from Samsung’s Korean rival. LG doesn’t go quite as hard with the spec sheet as others like Samsung and Oppo, but it also doesn’t go as hard with the price point.

phonefreek, 05 Jun 2022I'm getting one. Image quality should be a step above ... moreHow do you have basically the same phone as me, have basically the same tag as me, and are getting the same phone as me? I'm getting an LG V60 today and my current phone is an LG G8X ThinQ.

    I'm getting one. Image quality should be a step above my lg g8 which is still better than all midrange phones I've tried ( in image quality). My lg g8 produces sharp, lifelike images, with faithful color rendition. Nothing added or manipulated. These lg phones will be missed. Camera, audio, build quality are first rate, especially compared to similarly priced mid rangers available today, some of which are decent phones, with lots of features for the $, but all have inferior cameras to LG (must be due to superior LG s/w too). Some (expensive) high end Chinese brand phones I tried come close in image quality but are not exactly faithful. I assume Sony's best phones are the best, but I don't have that kind of money to put in a phone which looks like a candy bar.

      Wonderful phone. I'm going to LG when this dies, there handsets and layout are so much more professional than the popular samsungs. I'd buy a back up now but with my luck 6G will take over and it'll be useless.

        Loving this phone. My old V20 finally died this April and I found this had enough battery to go all day into the night. Nobody has a phone out that matches this two year old multimedia/gaming beast. Four microphones, 24bit recording and 32bit playback.

          Been using this phone for a while and it's excellent. Same processor that's in the Quest 2 VR headset. Very responsive, excellent DAC for headphone users, has literally no issues.

Lg stayed true to consumers with flagship specs at a decent price unlike other brand whilst adding features.Apple and Samsung removed the aux jack, then perks like earbuds, then the charger, and now no expandable storage aka micro SD slot.

                                Bunch of non LG fans bullying LG once again. The V60 is a rock solid flagship that has features other brands don't.. yeah yeah "slow LG updates", LG does update their phones, they just don't come extremely fast like Google, but they do come.. but people are so impatient to get a tiny security patch update, it's a deal breaker for them. Just get a Pixel or Samsung with no headphone jack or micro SD slot. LG quit the smartphone game but the real loser is we the consumers.. get ready to pay more money for less and less features.. Apple removing the charging port, Samsung removing micro SD slot, headphone jack, and Samsung Pay MST

                                  welp considering the fact LG recently announced they officially left the smartphone buisness, that line didn't age well

                                      For the money and what use i need great phone for old guy who just listens to music and use it for business.

I bought the phone for the audio the durability and the look of course for the hardware.
                                        Tmobile gave me a upgrade so I picked the phone up for about 550 best phone I've had to date. The audio is outstanding processor upstanding the 60 hertz refresh rate is not something that is going to bother me.
