This is an awful analysis. From someone who's used devices like the pixel 8, OnePlus 11, and the Xperia 5 Iv yet still returns to the 4 year old v60. The Dac is absolutely incredible, and has been since it's genesis. The SD card slot is incredibly useful and versatile. The Manual Camera flexibility and creative range is and has been ahead of it's time. All the stuff I just listed are things that have actual real world usefulness. I'd much rather have an incredible audio experience than a refresh rate bump that's noticable but doesn't necessarily add value. The SD allows for interchangeable memory expansion without having to invest in a core storage increase. The Manual Camera controls were so far ahead of the curve that other manufacturers are just now adding it's utility.
That is so true. And don't forget. Lg pioneered many of the game changing technologies that phones use today. It's a shame they don't make phones today since they pushed phone giants like Samsung and Apple to do better. Now both offer you phones at astronomical prices that do what LG did years ago.
i've had this phone since june 2020 and it's still the best phone i've ever had. Wish lg was still in the business as my battery is starting to get a bit wonky
Wow. Heavy Quad DAC User Here.(also using the V20) . Anyone who Knows how to set these up (and pretty much any V series LG Device) Knows The ESS Quad DAC is Far Far from a Gimmick. Poweramp Player along with Sony MDR's and Soundmagic E80c might give You a better impression. Make sure your headphones are above 50 ohms if You want to hear that Baby kick in. Also if You know how to set up a parametric equalizer, give that a try. I wish You could hear My set up. 50 plus years of headphone enjoyment speaking here.
I'll definitely have to check out the Soundmagic's. I'd love to be proven wrong and enlightened cause I definitely can appreciate sound. I actually payed for Poweramp years ago lol (just checked, my Moondrop Chu II and AKG 5005 are both only 18 ohms, orging the E80c now lol)
@@RealWorldReview Awesome Man, I hope You Enjoy them as Much as I do. They are 64 ohm and love to be EQ'd. Sub bass is surprising on these. Use the Comply tips for a good seal.
@@ViciousFirearms If You're not planning to ever use it on a network then I would go with The V20. It's a smaller form factor and It's the most versatile of the two. Not only does it have a removable battery, but also an IR blaster which I still find pretty handy. The camera is pretty decent. It also tells You what output mode it's in depending on the impedance being used. Anything over 50 ohms kicks in the High DAC (Amplifier). This I recommend. Sony MDR's work very well, and of course My favorite, Soundmagic E80C's. Extended batteries are also available. I have a couple 10800 mAh that will go a week of just using the headphone jack. Also, I recommend the B&O tuned V20 but they all sound awesome. My H918 T-Mobile B&O V20 still roams the network on weekends without issue. It's hard to believe I'm still using a 7 year old phone sometimes. The V60 does offer dual stereo speakers with a 3D engine that sounds pretty awesome when watching movies or other types of HQ video. It also offers a couple of DSP settings to shape the audio even further whilst using the headphone jack.
@@TheRealFRILL Thank you for the response. Would you happen to have a link/name (not sure if you can post links in comments) for that extended battery that you use? Also since I haven't used android in awhile I have to ask this, is the v20 still able to access the play store just fine and any quirks/annoyances in general I should know about?
I love my Lg V60 it has all the features i wanted plus the dual screen which was a game changer. Nothing out there has matched this phone's speakers, storage and overall performance.
This video is weird. It's like this guy never really used the phone for all its power. I have this phone. It's my main phone. I use the stylus, the dual screen, the 4k video, and they are still great features. All the folding phones are flawed since you get the crease and black spot of death. The LG v60 as a phone is still very versatile but obviously too much for you as your mind is still tuned to single screen options. The V60 is dated by today's standards but it still out performs many contemporary phones. I love my V60. I have had Samsung phones and Motorola razr's and the like and all the screens did the same thing. They get the crease, then the digitizer stops working or gets wonky, then the black spot of death appears and it's game over. I've had my dual screen case for 4 years without issues. I use a wacom stylus with my V60 ($18 on eBay) and it works flawlessly. It even has pressure sensitivity. I draw with my v60, highlight images, send notations, animate. It's an all around device. I'm sorry it's too much phone for you but it is a lot of phone for its price. The quad dac isn't meant to be used with another dac. That should be a no brainer. My kz zs10 pro 2's sound better on this phone than the galaxy note 20 ultra I have so do my CCA rhapsodies. Maybe it's me. Either way, be blessed.
Just out of curiosity, how long do you think you will continue to use this phone as your main phone, going forward into the future? Another year, two years, or what? What do you think?
@@Super-c00n I'm already looking for another phone but plan to keep using this phone as my side piece till it stops working. It has too many features i still use on the daily. I even have another V60 as a backup when this one fails
@@fredericocorrea9814- Cool. I'm thinking about getting one myself, actually. If for nothing else to keep as a collector's item. I just ordered the LG Wing. A part of me hopes that LG gets back into the smartphone business, because they do make some unique devices.
SD865, 2 Tb extra memory, Aux 3.5, good connectivity, good battery life, decent screen protection.What else for 250£? I'm buying phone, not photo camera.
I think you might have wanted to put some of the positives to the front end so people could understand that it wasn't just a bash session. At the end of the day, I ended up picking up this phone because it feels safe. I am in the market for a power user experience, and with the increase of ads and other interrupted experiences. I can use something else while it finishes (or block the ads) it seems to make sharing things easier, and having the dual screen experience be a choice is great. You can choose whether or not you want one or two screens to be in danger when you go out. I love technology, but we are definitely getting to a point where we have so much power and only one screen to use it, and fold screens are fragile (maybe not anymore) and if you plan to keep the device, good luck. But a little bit of it bothers me as the most we end up doing on phones is photo and video taking, watching videos and infinite scrolling, (some gaming too) yet a lot of people want to pay more for a phone than a computer...
kinda weird review, i have V60, Z Fold 4 and 14 pro max, i don't know why but i still choose my V60 as my daily driver.. that thing is more than a phone for me and still able to beat up my fold 4 and my 14 PM, and don't forget LG was the inventor of Wide Camera and they choose not to patent the technology so other company can use it, the company was really stood up to it's trade mark which is "Life's Good"
The quad dac is nice, but imo its not about the dac as much as it is about the amp. It can run phones up to 600ohms. Other phones top out at 50ohms. There is some serious power amplification there and the dack helps keep the noise down as the power draws higher. Thats the biggest reason I like the phone, I can drive my beyerdynamics on it. This makes it a great counter to having to spend 500$+ on a DAP that has the same power amplification.
I had this phone before switching to the iPhone 13, and it made me realize how great the ThinQ was. It may have been the best phone I ever owned. I immediately felt like it was a downgrade, even in basic performance.
I got mine 2 years ago. For a phone that stopped being made over a year prior to when I got it, it received more updates and support than every other phone I have bought from any manufacture, let alone an Android version upgrade. I think every Motorola I have had only ever got a single post launch update, and usually only a security patch.
There is not one gimmick on this phone. That claw dac was some high impedance headed phones. My goodness definitely not a music lover if you think it's a gimmick... Cameras are amazing. Manual mode provide video modes that LG had were second to none. The cell phone that you have in your hand who's influenced by l g
The main thing not taken into context in this video...this can be had for less than $200, much less, but NO phone at that price range new comes close to the features and often even the specs (except for actual number of gigs of ram) except for maybe higher refresh rate on the display (60hz is soo slow, we've only been using it for like a century before a few years ago!) which is kind of a gimmick on a phone. These P-Oleds are mostly as good as Samsung's Amoleds, no major difference once you went oled, compared to any type of LCD (even the "good" type of LCD, IPS displays). I understand it won't compare to the latest Samsung, OnePlus or any other released like... yesterday! No one expects that now. It should be taken into account how buying renewed is often a great deal, so this phone is amazing if gotten in almost new condition (this will obviously become harder and harder as time passes).
The Lenovo pen is like 25 usd and pretty great. Good for drawing, as well as pro app use. You can essentially use it to do convenient photo/video editing. The dual screen case is AMAZING. because you have a magnetic charger so you get no port wear, and it makes for a great stand in for Android auto. I have a dual launch set up for Spotify and maps so I press one button and I'm on my way. I can use it for gaming and have a custom controller available mapped to on screen tough, but with no extra plastic crap, though I liked the V500n version better. The loudspeaker is WILD, because when watching landscape videos at normal distance, you almost have binaural audio. The actual loudspeaker is the screen. The only limits on this phone are in the screen, which was downgraded from uhd, and should have been 120hz, though it's probably better for the battery life.
The quad dac is useful to drive an over the ear headphone, not necessarily an IEM. With that said, my Truthear Hexa IEMs are a bit harder to drive than other IEMs. I also have a Zenfone 9 and I have to turn the volume up pretty high to get an acceptable volume with the Hexas. I'd be curious if the LG did the same thing
Funny enough I have a Ugreen adapter which was pictured in here (32bit/384khz) that produces lower sound when compared to the Aux on the V60 and Zenfone 9. Not too smart when it comes to what is needed to make the audio sound loud, but all I do know is the Sony Xperia 1 I reviewed a couple years ago was terribly low lol. But to compare the V60 and Zenfone 9, I notice no difference when using something like the Moondrop Chu II
And for whatever alot of people were expecting... It's something LG can add and improve if only they were still in the phone business .. it's rather unfortunate... There are those who still appreciate it due to that nostalgia feeling for LG users .. and to those new to it, can appreciate some of the usable functions ...the old phone is not trying to keep up with new phones from other companies since they no longer make phones anyways .. I won't judge LG for whatever they left unfinished...I hope that some day they would get back on the map and make improvements .... Some day...
1. You forgot to mention that in basic camera mode you have an option for manual focus a feature that is not in my Galaxy S23 ultra. 2. The always on display is hands down the best in the industry. 3. There is no option to set up default text messages when declining a call. For example in the LG call UI you have the options to answer reject and to send a text reply. you did show you enabled the dac with head phones its not on by default. Maybe you were using shit head phones or didnt have it on because it makes a huge different between when its off and on.
A phenomenal phone for the fraction of the price of today's flagships. Just goes to prove that Samsung and Apple will charge a ridiculous amount because they know people will pay it.
The DAC does make a difference but only when playing highe quality audio files. UA-cam, mp3, pandora, and spotify all compress their audio so the dac doesnt make a difference. Dual screen is just like having 2 monitors. Some people make good use out of it, some dont. Depends on the user. I enjoy being able to flip the video recording between the front & rear camera mid-video. The double tap to wake/sleep, and so forth. Very cheap for what you get, too. So if you break your phone you can get a new one cheap!
Because nobody bought them people just look right over them, sheep. O. G was one of the greatest things that ever came into Android and it was a huge loss there V. Series still stands up to the best of today. I'm going to amazon right now to buy one fuck me
So, you bought an external DAC and determined that this phone sounded the same with it? And you call its internal DAC a gimmick? I do not see the logic in this.
Maybe the Zenfone 9's headphone jack is that good. Between the V60, Zenfone 9, and the 2 external DACs I got, there is practically no difference (when testing 64ohm or under IEMs)
Bought mines in 2020 and still have it till today. I love this phone but I did buy a OnePlus Open due to LG not supporting the phone anymore and I really like the One Plus Open Apex Addition
Looking to upgrade my current phone (bought in 2017-2018, Oppo A91) to this. I want an SD slot and a headphone jack but not a lot of phones have this still. Is this phone still worth it in 2024?
I wish you had an honest comment about this phone but you're comparing it to some other phone you used / reviewed or are sponsored by. Are you reviewing the phone for what IT is or comparing it to every other i/galaxy phone you've reviewed? Are you looking for this phone to do things that weren't available prior to the phone release? Is that fair? 4yr Old phone...Is it still relevant to this day for what it is? Thought that was what you were reviewing..."Aux Jack, SD Card Slot...on a Phone??? - LG V60 ThinQ 5G - Worth it in 2024? (Real World Review)"
You must been looking too deeply in this. With the exception of some phones that were borrowed (from friends and family, not given to me from any company), every phone reviewed on this channel is purchased by myself with my money. Only things that were given to me for review have a disclaimer in the beginning, but even then I’m critical about those videos, where I tell the pros and cons. Ultimately, this is my review based on my usage. One major thing is that it was a pain to even get texting to work on this phone since it was a Verizon phone and I have T-Mobile. This doesn’t happen with most modern phones, but the reason I omit that from the review is because most people aren’t going to buy a Verizon version to use on a different carrier, even if that will work. I did review the phone for what it is lol 60hz feels slow now, that’s the fact of life. Sure you’re watching the video at 60hz, but the issue is when frame drops happen, we notice the difference from 1-60hz, while 60-120hz becomes harder to notice, as we generally see real at 45+ “frames per second”. The headset jack is useless to me because I don’t have any buds to use on that. Is it cool that it comes with the phone, sure, but it comes on the Motorola Edge+ (2020) as well, with the Quad DAC from the V60 being swapped out for the 90hz waterfall display on the Edge+ (2020). Same processor, but more RAM and 256gb built in with no sd slot. It is impossible to do a review without a comparison because what would make it better? Just buy the phone if you want it, but when you’re questioning whether you should spend the money on something, you look at the other products you can buy with that money. We watch old reviews for confirmation, while new reviews at launch are to learn about the product. This $700-$900 phone is now under $200, but so are a lot of other phones in its class.
I'm still using the LG V40THINQ and am on my 4th one since model came out...honestly would buy another if they offered it brand new...plus otter case no longer supports this model so I have to find a replacement...no apple products is my only stipulation...any suggestions?
I have this very phone and ill have to say this thing is pret-ty f$!#in tough. Ive dropped both the phone, case and all, several times dunked it in water, dropped it in the shower, etc. Its a pretty rugged phone tbh. And for less than $200? You cant beat it..
.....Simplemente nada es perfecto y depende de las necesidades de cada quien.....asi de simple pero si era y es un gran telefono y depende como uses cada telefono y le saques provecho a cada uno de ellos independiente del telefono que sea.......😅
For those of you buying this phone - where are you getting it from? What sellers would you trust? I love my V60 but it's literally coming apart in my hands. I'm not ready to say goodbye 😢
i love lg phones the lkast time i had one it was kinda bad but still loved it for is decent camrea and i think for the camrea to be good to have to paly with it its not a good point and click but a point and click a a lot yk
With due respect, your analysis is very wrong and only intended to demean LG v60. Just stay with your favorite phone and stop the slender on a nice phone!
@@richardomwenga9176 that’s cool. You and many others try to act like this was a hit piece on a product and a company that isn’t being produced or serviced anymore. You and others take one phone and ignore that other 400+ videos I’ve made. It’s demeaning to defend my opinion, then sure I agree. Go ahead, join the 25% of people that dislike the phone. Absorb the energy I’m taking to respond to this because someone had an opposing opinion and you didn’t make it to the end of the video.
It is not worth it unless you intend to use it as just a dap and have a newer phone with more software support, better camera and overall better experience. I dont see myslef using a phone like without feeling like i need somethin better and even if i would use it as dap i would get the smaller v50 or G8 series thats more pocket friendly since i would have two phones with me.
Absolutely atrocious review from someone who has no clue what he's talking about. I'm on my second V60 now (also had V30) - there's still no replacement for this model for power user as of 2024.
I know you have nothing but biased opinions when you said the jack was bad. LG shouldn't have stopped making phones but iphone snobs ruined it. They tried everything to make a phone people would love, they tried to be unique and interesting.
@@RealWorldReview You can use context clues! So actually if you use a product as a daily driver you are biased no matter if you "trash it" or not. Calling one of the best jacks on a smartphone a gimmick is crazy. Calling any headphone jack a gimmick is crazy everyone knows wired is better than Bluetooth, even if just barely.
@@D-syncMonopoly the gimmick is the dac that not a lot of people utilize. When people want headset jack phones, they don’t end up going to the LGs, unless they do actually care. Because yes, I understand that this is a better value over a device that has a similar dac, as I’d rather pay $200 for this than $1k+ for essentially an iPod with a good dac. But even in the video I showed that buying a USB C dac is possible, which is why I bought that specific one because it’s the closest to the dac built in the V60. So for a music machine, sure, good price. But for a phone with a headset jack and all the extras, I’d take a Zenfone or Xperia 1 series over the V60 (as we all should if price isn’t the deciding factor)
@@RealWorldReview Price is the deciding factor it always was and will always be. Also saying people didn't use a headphone jack is enough proof to throw out any relevance or credibility. They removed the headphone jack for greed. Phones are boring now, just because they can fold doesn't mean anything. Taking away features that someone will use every day or once a month is still cheap. You said it was a gimmick and your excuse is that "not everyone uses it." It's like when they stopped using physical home buttons for precious screen real estate. Apple is a catalyst for boring generic phones.
This is an awful analysis. From someone who's used devices like the pixel 8, OnePlus 11, and the Xperia 5 Iv yet still returns to the 4 year old v60.

At the time of release, for sure. Good price and pretty good phone back in 2020.

The dual screen case is AMAZING. because you have a magnetic charger so you get no port wear, and it makes for a great stand in for Android auto. I have a dual launch set up for Spotify and maps so I press one button and I'm on my way. I can use it for gaming and have a custom controller available mapped to on screen tough, but with no extra plastic crap, though I liked the V500n version better. The loudspeaker is WILD, because when watching landscape videos at normal distance, you almost have binaural audio. The actual loudspeaker is the screen. The only limits on this phone are in the screen, which was downgraded from uhd, and should have been 120hz, though it's probably better for the battery life.
The quad dac is useful to drive an over the ear headphone, not necessarily an IEM. With that said, my Truthear Hexa IEMs are a bit harder to drive than other IEMs. I also have a Zenfone 9 and I have to turn the volume up pretty high to get an acceptable volume with the Hexas. I'd be curious if the LG did the same thing
Funny enough I have a Ugreen adapter which was pictured in here (32bit/384khz) that produces lower sound when compared to the Aux on the V60 and Zenfone 9. Not too smart when it comes to what is needed to make the audio sound loud, but all I do know is the Sony Xperia 1 I reviewed a couple years ago was terribly low lol. But to compare the V60 and Zenfone 9, I notice no difference when using something like the Moondrop Chu II
Have still not used 90/120hz on phones, I only saw the benefit with games on PC, finally getting my first 144hz monitor in 2021.
And for whatever alot of people were expecting... It's something LG can add and improve if only they were still in the phone business .. it's rather unfortunate... There are those who still appreciate it due to that nostalgia feeling for LG users .. and to those new to it, can appreciate some of the usable functions ...the old phone is not trying to keep up with new phones from other companies since they no longer make phones anyways .. I won't judge LG for whatever they left unfinished...I hope that some day they would get back on the map and make improvements .... Some day...
I have v60 its very powerful in imulator games and the DAC blast my headphone to d max.nice camera and good battery
I have two LG V 60's. I'm thrilled with how it performs daily.
1. You forgot to mention that in basic camera mode you have an option for manual focus a feature that is not in my Galaxy S23 ultra.
2. The always on display is hands down the best in the industry.
3. There is no option to set up default text messages when declining a call. For example in the LG call UI you have the options to answer reject and to send a text reply.
you did show you enabled the dac with head phones its not on by default. Maybe you were using shit head phones or didnt have it on because it makes a huge different between when its off and on.
I had a crush on this . But didn't have the money to buy it.
Me too
They drive my zs10's and my cca rhapsodies really well at half the volume settings as my Samsung note 20 ultra does.
A phenomenal phone for the fraction of the price of today's flagships. Just goes to prove that Samsung and Apple will charge a ridiculous amount because they know people will pay it.
Been using it since it came out. About to buy a new SD card
The DAC does make a difference but only when playing highe quality audio files. UA-cam, mp3, pandora, and spotify all compress their audio so the dac doesnt make a difference.
Dual screen is just like having 2 monitors. Some people make good use out of it, some dont. Depends on the user.
I enjoy being able to flip the video recording between the front & rear camera mid-video. The double tap to wake/sleep, and so forth.
Very cheap for what you get, too. So if you break your phone you can get a new one cheap!
The cameras are really good, the front facing camera is good too
What's wrong with this guy? 😂. Gimmic 😅
Yes 😂
This man don't know what he is commenting about this phone.😂 This phone is a good phone. There is no gimmick about this phobe.
Wow, compelling argument. I said it's a good phone. But yes it is a gimmick lol
Because nobody bought them people just look right over them, sheep. O. G was one of the greatest things that ever came into Android and it was a huge loss there V. Series still stands up to the best of today. I'm going to amazon right now to buy one fuck me
So, you bought an external DAC and determined that this phone sounded the same with it? And you call its internal DAC a gimmick? I do not see the logic in this.
Maybe the Zenfone 9's headphone jack is that good. Between the V60, Zenfone 9, and the 2 external DACs I got, there is practically no difference (when testing 64ohm or under IEMs)
Bought mines in 2020 and still have it till today. I love this phone but I did buy a OnePlus Open due to LG not supporting the phone anymore and I really like the One Plus Open Apex Addition
Looking to upgrade my current phone (bought in 2017-2018, Oppo A91) to this. I want an SD slot and a headphone jack but not a lot of phones have this still. Is this phone still worth it in 2024?
It can be gotten for around 150-170, so yeah. But don't expect brand new, but renewed.
What do you expect from an iPhone user!!! He's a big time hater
God forbid I have opinions. I’ll make a sure every review moving forward has no opinions whatsoever. Even ones based on facts and tests
I've just realized that you need 3 screen protectors with the dual screen
This was my favorite phone i ever owned😢
I wish you had an honest comment about this phone but you're comparing it to some other phone you used / reviewed or are sponsored by.
Are you reviewing the phone for what IT is or comparing it to every other i/galaxy phone you've reviewed?
Are you looking for this phone to do things that weren't available prior to the phone release?
Is that fair?
4yr Old phone...Is it still relevant to this day for what it is?
Thought that was what you were reviewing..."Aux Jack, SD Card Slot...on a Phone??? - LG V60 ThinQ 5G - Worth it in 2024? (Real World Review)"
You must been looking too deeply in this. With the exception of some phones that were borrowed (from friends and family, not given to me from any company), every phone reviewed on this channel is purchased by myself with my money. Only things that were given to me for review have a disclaimer in the beginning, but even then I’m critical about those videos, where I tell the pros and cons. Ultimately, this is my review based on my usage. One major thing is that it was a pain to even get texting to work on this phone since it was a Verizon phone and I have T-Mobile. This doesn’t happen with most modern phones, but the reason I omit that from the review is because most people aren’t going to buy a Verizon version to use on a different carrier, even if that will work. I did review the phone for what it is lol 60hz feels slow now, that’s the fact of life. Sure you’re watching the video at 60hz, but the issue is when frame drops happen, we notice the difference from 1-60hz, while 60-120hz becomes harder to notice, as we generally see real at 45+ “frames per second”. The headset jack is useless to me because I don’t have any buds to use on that. Is it cool that it comes with the phone, sure, but it comes on the Motorola Edge+ (2020) as well, with the Quad DAC from the V60 being swapped out for the 90hz waterfall display on the Edge+ (2020). Same processor, but more RAM and 256gb built in with no sd slot. It is impossible to do a review without a comparison because what would make it better? Just buy the phone if you want it, but when you’re questioning whether you should spend the money on something, you look at the other products you can buy with that money. We watch old reviews for confirmation, while new reviews at launch are to learn about the product. This $700-$900 phone is now under $200, but so are a lot of other phones in its class.
Bro is humiliating the phone...give him the s24 ultra still he would say that they should've gone for 201 mp camera 😂
What about desktop mode?
I'm about to buy another.
I'm still using the LG V40THINQ and am on my 4th one since model came out...honestly would buy another if they offered it brand new...plus otter case no longer supports this model so I have to find a replacement...no apple products is my only stipulation...any suggestions?
I think LG did good with this phone.
I have this very phone and ill have to say this thing is pret-ty f$!#in tough. Ive dropped both the phone, case and all, several times dunked it in water, dropped it in the shower, etc. Its a pretty rugged phone tbh. And for less than $200? You cant beat it..
Can you click on an app? I mean who reviews a phone and not click on ANY app?
.....Simplemente nada es perfecto y depende de las necesidades de cada quien.....asi de simple pero si era y es un gran telefono y depende como uses cada telefono y le saques provecho a cada uno de ellos independiente del telefono que sea.......😅
For those of you buying this phone - where are you getting it from? What sellers would you trust? I love my V60 but it's literally coming apart in my hands. I'm not ready to say goodbye 😢
i love lg phones the lkast time i had one it was kinda bad but still loved it for is decent camrea and i think for the camrea to be good to have to paly with it its not a good point and click but a point and click a a lot yk
Aren't iphones 60?
This is the best used Android smartphone under 200 US bucks having an Antutu 10 Score around 735000
So where to get a good v60?
With due respect, your analysis is very wrong and only intended to demean LG v60. Just stay with your favorite phone and stop the slender on a nice phone!
You’re saying my opinion is wrong?
@@RealWorldReview very wrong and demeaning.
@@richardomwenga9176 that’s cool. You and many others try to act like this was a hit piece on a product and a company that isn’t being produced or serviced anymore. You and others take one phone and ignore that other 400+ videos I’ve made. It’s demeaning to defend my opinion, then sure I agree. Go ahead, join the 25% of people that dislike the phone. Absorb the energy I’m taking to respond to this because someone had an opposing opinion and you didn’t make it to the end of the video.
It is not worth it unless you intend to use it as just a dap and have a newer phone with more software support, better camera and overall better experience. I dont see myslef using a phone like without feeling like i need somethin better and even if i would use it as dap i would get the smaller v50 or G8 series thats more pocket friendly since i would have two phones with me.
I can buy any phone but i still use my v60👍
Dont watch this guy anymore
Gotta put some recommendations up if you're gonna talk like that
If your a fold user you've probably owned this phone
Watching this on v40
Absolutely atrocious review from someone who has no clue what he's talking about. I'm on my second V60 now (also had V30) - there's still no replacement for this model for power user as of 2024.
Reviews are opinions. You’re just saying we have differing opinions.
I know you have nothing but biased opinions when you said the jack was bad. LG shouldn't have stopped making phones but iphone snobs ruined it. They tried everything to make a phone people would love, they tried to be unique and interesting.
Are you going based on the Apple Watch and iPhone? What bias do I even have? Have you watched my iPhone reviews lol
@@RealWorldReview You can use context clues! So actually if you use a product as a daily driver you are biased no matter if you "trash it" or not. Calling one of the best jacks on a smartphone a gimmick is crazy. Calling any headphone jack a gimmick is crazy everyone knows wired is better than Bluetooth, even if just barely.
@@D-syncMonopoly the gimmick is the dac that not a lot of people utilize. When people want headset jack phones, they don’t end up going to the LGs, unless they do actually care. Because yes, I understand that this is a better value over a device that has a similar dac, as I’d rather pay $200 for this than $1k+ for essentially an iPod with a good dac. But even in the video I showed that buying a USB C dac is possible, which is why I bought that specific one because it’s the closest to the dac built in the V60. So for a music machine, sure, good price. But for a phone with a headset jack and all the extras, I’d take a Zenfone or Xperia 1 series over the V60 (as we all should if price isn’t the deciding factor)
@@RealWorldReview Price is the deciding factor it always was and will always be. Also saying people didn't use a headphone jack is enough proof to throw out any relevance or credibility. They removed the headphone jack for greed. Phones are boring now, just because they can fold doesn't mean anything. Taking away features that someone will use every day or once a month is still cheap. You said it was a gimmick and your excuse is that "not everyone uses it." It's like when they stopped using physical home buttons for precious screen real estate. Apple is a catalyst for boring generic phones.
This is obviously what happens when you give an android phone to an iphone user 😆 Its a gimmick, just buy an iphone lol
Amazing!
What's the final security patche?
