Just retired the V30 served me well for 6.5 years. Well built. Loved the audio added an external amp for maximizing with planar headphones. Renewed V60 just arrived! Very happy sticking with LG.
I'm having the same problem my v30 is dieing now the battery is struggling and I don't know what phone to get my friend says v60 is old and I should just give in to a new phone but i love the v30 features so thinking of a v60
I picked up a Samsung s23 ultra to use as my main phone and was so disappointed by audio. I feel a lot happier going back to the amazing audio LG v60. ESS sabre quad dac, 3.5mm headphone socket, APTX, SD card slot, removable second screen. A fantastic bit of kit even in 2023.
How is the audio recording quality in video? Is it also better than Samsung s23 ultra? How well does it do in this regard compared to today's phones? Years ago, I had a refurbished LG V10 and loved it! It had in-video audio recording options that I don't know of other phones having, like zoom microphone etc. I'm guessing the V60 is even more awesome!
@@edisiljakviolin The V60 has 4 microphones. Audio is stellar. It comes with a great HD audio app recorder as well. When my Mother was in the hospital I recorded the doctors talking and it sounded like they were right there
@@TheAgentAssassinThanks for the comment. I found the audio from the recorder app to be great indeed, but not so much from the video app. I think there are newer phones that perform better in this department, I'd be happy to know which ones exactly (new iPhones for sure) as my use is for recording classical music clips(violin) for Instagram etc. Any thoughts on the best phone in this regard is highly appreciated!
@@edisiljakviolin Did you try manual video mode? In the options try 4k/60fps, Set the bit rate to high, turn on hi-fi setting, then while on the phone video screen tap the hi-fi button, you can control the gain db+/-, LCF to 150hz, LMT, also try turning on HDR+10. Manual video is the way to go. If you're into recording music video then perhaps invest in an external mic.
Been rocking this since launch date. Few other things to add... 1. Its tough as hell. Spent a night at the bottom of a swimming pool and was totally fine. 2. Anecdotally I have been waiting on ubers with other friends who could not get a connection (same T-Mobile network) while I had 5g and no issues. Happens more often than not tbh. 3. Battery life is fantastic, on super saver mode, it revives the phone at 5% battery life for like 3 hours. 4. Never used Quad DAC until I finally made a playlist with lossless audio and a sennheiser headseat with > 120 ohms. That was it.... wow. Normally quad DAC is not worth it with normal Mp3s. 5. Dual screen is a gimmick but really for gaming it rocks. Get a bluetooth gaming controller for some great fun times. 6. It supports up to 2 TB, yes terabytes of SD card support! What?! 7. Speakers are truly ridic... agree 8. Download some third party camera apps to make most use of the one weakness which is the camera. I'm using OpenCamera which is good. The stock app is goo too, practice using the manual mode for some great shots.
Some of the reasons you've listed to have the LG V60 are the same reasons I'm holding onto my Galaxy Note 9, my GN9 offers more hardware than today's flagships... headphone jack, SD card, stereo speakers (I know flagships have this today but not with a headphone jack). My only wish is that the GN9 was a tad smaller, 6.4 inch display is pretty big and to think today's flagships are breaking into 7 inch displays. 😯 Nice video 🤠
Almost got rid of my v60 when charging port issues popped up, months later the issies fixed itself. While it's not my daily driver, it's my back up if anything should happen to my One Plus Open. Im still a LG fan boy at heart.... I honestly still loke the v60 more then my open 🤷.
@@kamrulhassan7185 I honestly have no clue, it wouldn't charge unless I place it in the weirdest position sometimes not at all. I even tried switching charges but nothing worked, I powered it down and put it away. Then months later I had to transfer some photos and BAM, no more charging issues.
The unique intangibles this phone possesses makes it difficult to move on from. The DAC, expandable storage, and Manual Camera versatility are nearly impossible to replicate and replace without having to buy extras. For example, I can get a type c 3.5 DAC adapter and a Type c SD card adapter for my other devices but it's a hassle. I'd much rather have a DAC than a high refresh rate that doesn't really add much utility. The ability to capture in RAW in combination with the manual camera controls is still industry leading. Devices are just now catching on. LG was so ahead it's wild
I just upgraded my V60 to a pixel 8 pro. Honestly I really can't tell much of a difference. The camera on the pixel is a little better but not a whole lot better. Only reason I upgraded was because the V60 camera had some blue spots on photos and the pixel 8 pro has 7 years of os updates. I just recently replaced the camera on the V60 and I'm going to hold on to it for awhile. I sure miss the expandable storage and aux port
I recently bought a Pixel A phone to replace my V60. Tried it out for a few hours & absolutely HATED it! I returned the Pixel. Still sticking to my V60 to start 2025. I'm really going to miss some of the LG apps & features when I finally let this phone go 😢
So weird Just got Mine back!! After 2 Years! Went to Europe Replace New Phones for My Mom in Poland! And Got My V60 Back!! I'm Looking for Second Screen on Ebay! Was My Mom second Phone So it's still perfect With Good Battery!! Will Make my Review soon! Love it!! Its last LG 5G Phone! So, it's a keeper!
Hello everyone and Mr. Warren! Great video! I live in Greece, and I have found multiple versions of the LG V60 phone, but I don't know which one will work with my Cosmote subscription. Can someone please help me out? Should I get the T-Mobile, the Verizon, or the AT&T unlocked version? I am asking because I cannot find the European variant anywhere.
Hi, Vernon. May I check with you? When viewing PDF file, are pages 1 & 2 shown on screens then when flip the page, 3 & 4 shown and so on? Hoping for your reply. Thanks
Headphone Jack & SD CARD are mandatory...I'm still working wit the note 8 and 9 😎👍 does this phone have display port to have hdmi to tv by screen mirroring?
The only problem I'm having now is some of the in house LG apps are not working that good anymore. The clock timers sometimes just freezes. When I try to add new contacts sometimes it says "app crashed". Also the LH health app is pretty much dead now.
I've had this on my v40 with adding contacts...no matter how I tried ....would close and crash. I found on the Verizon forum to delete Verizon cloud app then i was able to add contacts. Obviously I'm on Verizon.
💥💥Sony finally got rid of that weird 21.9 ratio. The Sony Xperia 1 VI is 19.5 and looks way better than that 21.9 they been doing. I was going to get it because of the wider display and SD card and Sony's great music dac built in the phone. It even has a headphone jack which i don't care about but it has it if you need it. Unfortunately Sony said it's not coming to the American market 🤷🏿♂️
Went to replace my S3 and the LGg4 was better than Samsung or the expensive Apple tiny screen brick phone. Been with LG ever since. Have the v60... recently put in a new battery and charge port and its like new.
Reason 1: a Flagship phone from korea with high-quality iem jack. Stable phone, i like it. There's a bit of android OS bug though luckily I found the solutions to fix it quick😊
I miss my V60 but had to give it up because of no more security updates and weak battery. Along with worn out charge port. But I can say for a fact that it was better than this Pixel 8 Pro which freezes up 3 or 4 times a day. Sure wish LG had stayed in the biz.
You remind me of Flossy Carter he is always straight to the point like you are. I really needed a new phone as my current one broke down because it fell in water a little and the screen pixels just glitch like a mf. I'll be making sure to buy this phone as I am not really looking forward any fancy Shi or up to date follow the trend bs. Just need a phone that can do what modern phones can, take calls... Use social media apps and watch the UA-cam. Apart from this, I think this is the best option I have, any other phone at this price I was checked out wasn't even close. This is yesterday's technology, and I sure finna get me this phone, Good work man. Standing up for us poor mf who can't afford none of that expensive bs.
I still have my V60 in fact my wife is using it now she loves it I tried giving her the iPhone 14 plus and she hated it she wanted the V60 back

I wish my GN9 would be still working. It stopped working bc of green screen issues. So I switched to the LG V60. 😢I miss GN9.
That's shitty, so far my GN9 has not suffered the same fate. What I'm struggling to do is find a new, decent batter for it.@@johncreasy7928

Great review 👏🏻
Great review 💪💪💪💪
LG V60 is great. But here's one reason to not pick it up... the charging port issue which I personally ran into awhile back.
Sorry to hear that. I've never had that issue and I use the charging port all the time. You can always charge it wirelessly
I had the same issues then oddly enough. about 2/3 months later without using the phone, it randomly fixed itself.
@@vernonleewarren280 also, since when has the V60 been sold unlocked? The only versions I've ever seen were for either for ATT or T-Mobile
@grayaquatics852 I wouldn't have said it if it wasn't true. Check on Amazon my friend
@@grayaquatics852Mine was unlocked At&t. Never had a problem.

Try using the wireless charging instead
@@peterjameswalmsley9185 already had the port replaced twice I haven't used the dual screen since.
I would like to know where you guys are getting "dirt cheap" LG V60 with dual screen at. Please put down the link!
Aliexpress. I always get my device's from there
I agree there's no way sooner devices should be gone for over $1,000 they're killing the average person that isn't going to buy it for that price
I just order me a good condition lg v60 on ebay it should be here by next week
The only problem I'm having now is some of the in house LG apps are not working that good anymore.
The clock timers sometimes just freezes. When I try to add new contacts sometimes it says "app crashed".

Smart phones peaked in 2020? What else they can improve? Battery, antenna 📶 connectivity,camera,new apps, IOT, holographic tech?
Gotta say .. finally had to stop using. On att. Issues with cell tower switching. Still using for yt videos etc but had to retire the v60
Understood
damn $164 alarm clock 😂

Is it much better than the stylo 2? That was the last lg phone I had before I switched to Samsung
It's WAY better in every way. Just remember it's a flagship phone.
I have this it is great im from Pakistan
you can customize it so that doesn't show. choose the black bar across top and everythin will show except that
It's called a Widows peak by the way lol
Depends on how steep it is, it can be called the Batman also 😂

Amazon.com or eBay.com
I recently bought mine on Alixpress for around 200 had no problems at all.
Buy from Hong Kong!😊

Doesn't power on, no response to button presses, even plugged in.
So, I'm suddenly in the market for a new phone.
