Great value compared to other flagship phones. Clearly LG is aggressively trying and likely succeeding to gain market share. The Samsung Galaxy series lost my business this time, in no small part by eliminating the headphone jack from flagship phones. The LG V60 has a quad DAC for high quality audio. Also, the LG V60 ThinQ has the dual screen which I received in about 3 days for free, direct from LG!
The V60 is the thinking person's smart phone. Side-by-side its automatic cameras stand with the best of Samsung and Apple, but LG brings precise manual controls too. Unlike Samsung and Apple, the V60 brings a wired Hi-Fi Digital-Analog Converter to deliver an audio experience no other phone can dream of. That's especially important if you are using a high-end music streaming service like Tidal. Finally, with the second screen and pen support, the V60 is an entertainment and productivity behemoth no other phone can match... And for hundreds of dollars less. It may be large and heavy, but it is a brilliant phone whose total capabilities are unmatched in the American market.
This phone is a monster it's got the battery life top last all day maybe a day& a half add well as a second screen too it's fast & a great phone all around
Huge upgrade from the S10+. I never liked the S10+, and only picked it because my wife got one. I really missed my LG V20, and decided to go for the flagship V60 as soon as I got the chance. I've been using it over a week and I have to say I am extremely impressed. The phone just feels right in my hand. LG is one of the few phone makers that goes WIDE as well as tall, and with big hands that's pretty important.
Software experience is very buttery. Everything is smooth. I love the new gestures for back/home/etc. It's actually a lot like iOS in that regard. Many of the pre-installed apps can actually be DELETED and not just disabled which is a major plus. There is a LOT of bloatware on this device the first time you turn it on.
Cameras are exceptional as long as you know what you are doing. I set it to manual for video and photo and come off with some really great shots. Paired with an external lens kit, and you're in DSLR territory. Other than the width, the camera is the one feature I looked at in reviews. It's in a totally different league than the S10+ if you know what you're doing. AR also works very well. Only thing I miss....and this is something I can accomplish with a third party app...is the MyAvatar! It was available on other LG phones, so where is it on the V60!?! Silly, I know, but it was a fun little feature.
Gaming is flawless. Paired with the second screen and using the gamepad app that comes with it, it's a great experience. I never liked playing with touch controls, but moving them to the second screen...That's a game changer. Reminds me of the Xperia Play! from years ago. It's definitely more enjoyable than carting around an XBOX controller or using my FlyDigi. I will always prefer physical gaming controls, but this is a decent alternative. Nothing extra to carry around, either.
Now...One thing I will be carrying around is my Bamboo Stylus. Seriously, LG needs to make it more widely known that this phone can be used with an actual stylus. I've already installed all my art and note taking apps. The experience is similar to my old Note 4 EXCEPT I've got two large screens and the stylus is comfortable to hold. Pressure sensitivity is there, there is hardly any input lag, and there isn't enough of a gap between stylus tip and screen to make it feel weird. It's closer to the experience of writing on an iPad with the Apple Pencil than it is to using a Note.
This is the first time I've been truly happy with a phone since I gave my V20 to my mom. I actually just gave her the S10+ and got my V20 back...Haha
