  • LG V60 Review! LG's next big thing is REALLY big. I've used terms like "monster" before, but the V60 is a beast. With a handful of small compromises, this phone is shaping up to be the top option for productivity and multi-asking, while offering amazing features for content creation and gaming. Very few phones can really do it all. The V60 is on that list.

    Detailed, thoughtful review. Juan deserves a lot of credit for sticking to his guns in doing deep dives and focusing on substance, while some many other reviewers have moved to the over stylized, gloss-over, Instagram-style, "5 things to know"-type of reviews for an increasingly smaller selection on phones. Keep up the good work!

      PS: Your argument about not getting a flagship phone sounds logical, but it disregards the fact that it is the flagships that get consistently more software updates, sooner updates, and for longer periods. I can see your reasoning would make more sense for iPhones, though there aren't any midrange iPhones, unless you resort to getting a new, or used, one that is 1-2 years older. Ie in 2020 skipping the iPhone 11 Pro, and buying an iPhone X or iPhone XS instead.

      @@ekinteko I will like to disagree with your arguments. update all boils down to the manufacturers. Yes it true that more of the non flagship /mid-range / low end might not but this can be said also for flagships as well.Example Nokia don't really do flagship phones but majority of their phones get an update so is the Motorola. The update really depends on the manufacturers and how well the phone sold or not.

      I wear hearing aids and im still the advocate for keeping headphone Jack. Its removal doesn't benefit the consumer, and no technology had replaced it in terms of hearing quality. Bluetooth doesn't count, and carrying a dongle is extra bullshit not needed in the first place.

    Dude, I agree SO much. I was literally shaking my head as you talked about "average use" and what consumers actually need. I see so many people I know waste hundreds, and even thousands of dollars on top of the line phones like the s20 ultra and iPhone 11 Pro and other phones like that, and then when I see them use it, they only text and call and watch one or two TH-cam videos a day. It aggravates me to see such good tech going to waste. People should really keep in mind what you said. Most mid-range phones today are packing some good specs for a good price. Sure, it may not have a 90hz refresh rate or a Quad HD (some mid-range phones do tho) display, but it gets the job done well. Mid-range phones as a whole are being slept on. Now, people like me who play tons of graphic intensive games, does a crap ton of calling, texting, TH-cam, Netflix, Vrv, Hulu, and music consumption... People that do things like that should buy higher prices phones with better specs that will actually be used. Most people today wouldn't even notice the difference between 8-16 gb's of RAM, and a lot wouldn't even fill up 128gbs of storage in a lifetime. They wouldn't notice the difference between a 90hz and a 120hz (I do though. I like high refresh rates but it isn't a must for me). I need 128 gb's of storage for all my music, images, memes, videos, pictures (I travel a lot), and games, etc. Now, the person next to me (hypothetical) doesn't do all that, and yet they buy the exact same phone and let it go to waste. And yeah, it's nice having the best camera for people like me who travel a lot and are super active, so the V60 is a major go. But there are other people who should just buy cheaper phones like the Pixel 3a (or XL model) if they want good overall camera performance for average, daily use. Sorry for kind of ranting lol, just my thoughts. Also, everyone is different, so you can't really group a group of people into one category because everyone has different needs. Also, your review was absolutely amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed your video, and would like to see more about the V60.

Most "average" consumers will use a streaming FM radio app. For those times when you have poor signal or are in an emergency situation (natural disaster) the FM radio and headphone wire as an antenna can be a life saver. Often overlooked but crucial point for those who are survivalists.

    This phone has exactly the feature set that I care about (and a few extras) without increasing the price on a lot of features that I don't care about. With flagships all $1k+, it's basically a flagship phone at a high mid-range price. I think this will be the real sleeper pick out of the flagship SD865 generation. I'm sold on it.

    Great review. One of the most thorough I have seen for any device in a long time. I recently purchased my V60 a few days ago, and I was coming over from a Note 10+ that I had been using for a couple of months after I gave my wife my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I really, really love this V60. There are a couple of annoyances, but the overall package is amazing, and I still have yet to try out the dual-screen since I had to redeem that separately. I love the headphone jack, the screen is great. I find the fingerprint sensor quicker than the one on the Note 10+, and the camera has been great. There was a slight learning curve to get accustomed to everything, but once I did it's been smooth sailing. Now I want to get a Wacom pen, and I will be good. Thanks for the great video.

    As a TH-cam creator myself I had been putting off buying a new phone in 2020. After a ton of careful considerations I have ordered a V60. It has some really great features and compromises just enough to give me the most bang for the buck. (excuse the pun) Thank you for the reviews on it as you really made me do a ton of research before I made my decision to purchase.

    Great review, as usual! I bought the v20 back then, after watching your videos. The thing I love most is the quad-dac, as I use my phone mainly to listen to music. Would you think it is worth an upgrade to the v60 if I still love the v20?

      I am afraid you'll have to go with budget devices. Just saying from the top of my head, I can't think of any "good" phone to have a capacitive fingerprint sensor. Though looking into a mid-range device with an LCD display is one of the best sure fire ways to get the physical fingerprint sensors since you can't have an in display sensor with an LCD display.

Ive been using the Note 8 as my main device for all things creative for two years and have always used a note device. I have been saying for years i wish someone else would make a comparable screen similar to the note series and the fact that LG has done this with the v60 has made that the main feature i care about along with desktop computer mode. As for the display, no biggie. If i want high resolution I'll watch on my note 8. Thank you for an actual review. I came across your channel recently and am glad to have found it!
