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!
@@SomeGadgetGuy 23:50 America' Ass rights there ; ) 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.
Oh gawd! I am truly gonna miss your LG videos. They were always the highlight of my day. You always tell it like it is and give genuine, thorough, helpful reviews for the underdog. I'm holding onto my V60 for dear life.
FDS TV no, below IS a detailed review. hi welcome to my channel and my v60 review. I’ve been using it for 1 week. The v60 has lower resolution screen and just 60hz, wtf LG. But it has a big battery so i guess it is okay. Insert 10 minute padding. But it is not a Samsung so it is not really worth it. Thanks for watching. Of course i’m being sarcastic. Lol
@@SomeGadgetGuy and have convinced others the same. It's mind boggling how make replies I've gotten saying "Bro get over it, the headphone jack is old and dead"
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. It's amazing how some consumers buy into things so laid out for the corporation's interest, not ours.
@@BodethIII Exactly. Bluetooth can be nice, at convenient at times, but overall I still find wired headphones more convenient and practical. Plus carrying a dongle means you're going to be plugging things in and out of the charging port more often than before, prematurely wearing it out. I've had my charging ports wear out. Not fun with you finally get it plugged in right, only for an hour or so later to realize that a sudden movement cause it to not charge.
This is such a great phone and I really want to buy the V60. It's probably too much phone for me but that headphone Jack is such a great underused feature in smartphones.
Even if the headphone jack is dead on most other phones that doesn't mean wired audio is also dead. You can still use usb c headphones or just simply use an adapter.
@@popantermopan4099 Problem is that's another item to carry that can get lost easily, plus you'll wear out the USB C port easily. Believe me it happened to me from normal use, okay maybe heavy use, but imagine how it quickly it would wear out if from both charging and using it for headphones.
@@mistamaog of course, I never said that there aren't any trade offs that you would have to make if your phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but I don't think not having a headphone jack should be a deal breaker for most folks. You know, the jack is not a necessary feature but it's still nice to have.
@@SomeGadgetGuy I was about to say the same thing 😃but what do you think about their design lately? I haven't check them out since g6 and I think they changed a lot and not in a good way
@@SomeGadgetGuy I thought that the active digitiser is quite expensive, why put it and never advertise it.. like you were saying they really need to sort out their marketing
in the same vein I didn't realize it ditched the old fingerprint scanner for an in display one. tho I should have guessed when I saw the back of the phone lol
WOW! 29mins of full detailed review, man you should do these more often. If you will ask me, your review is my most anticipated specially with LG devices. Your second to none, PERIOD! Keep it up Juan. After watching this V60 review I'm full. 😂👌🔥
I just love this video. Finally someone smart that said the true about those people who get expensive phones just to use it for social media jajajajs. I got the V60 but I use it for video content
LG V series rocks! I currently have the V40 and I love it so much! As long as LG V Series keeps their headphone jack and incredible Quad DAC, I will not change for another phone brand. Thank you for the great review!
This is a super good review!!! I have an LG G5 that I got in November 2016 and it's still going strong using it aggressively everyday, not to mention I have easily dropped this phone over 1000+ times and it works perfectly fine...... Currently deciding on a V50, G9, or V60... definitely want a dual screen but not sure if Verizon offers it.... Would get the G8 but it has no 5G..... Thanks for the great content!!!!
Juan, hands down the best tech reviews I've seen on the net. Thorough, informative of what's really important, critical of things we SHOULD care more about, and someone I feel I can trust with these reviews and opinions. Thank you for your dedication and keep up the great work!
This review needs more attention! especially with average consumer and "tech enthusiasts" that sounds like influencer rather than tech enthusiast itself. because it's more detailed and proven by tests. i like how your review perform man. it reminds me with jarrod's tech which tests every laptop and prove the results and even you put more logic rant with people nowadays. thumbs up dude.
and yes... i have some reccomendation game like Grid autosport, honkai impact 3 for jrpg 3d (because it has so much effect this could probably tests the procie performances) and ark survival.
I love the fact this phone has an FM radio as well. 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.
@@TheDrinkyDude How are you finding the LG V60 ThinQ compared to Samsung Galaxy S9? I have the S9 and I'm considering upgrading to the LG V60 ThinQ myself
@@ellietischler I like it once you remove some of the bloatware and turn off the background apps the battery can last days, I've not charged my phone for two days and still had a residual 15 to 20 percent, my only complaint is after the update I can't choose a ringtone it auto defaults but I get so few calls it's just a annoyance
Just found this channel, the UA-cam algorithm really seems to be doing you no favors. Searched "LG V60" and similar trying to find a good review on this phone as I took the plunge and ordered myself one. Watched several half ass videos before discovering this one, which was nowhere to be found in my search results. "LG seems to be the only one who still has me in mind," that is the exact reason I chose this phone. I'm huge into audio, and I too am really sick of hearing this stupid "well just use bluetooth BRO" excuse. Seeing the headphone jack in a 2020 model phone is refreshing, the quad DAC is a nice bonus too. Also can I just say, this video was really well organized and you explained everything really well in a detailed yet not extremely boring way. You have a really entertaining "radio" voice, you kind of remind me of Bitwit in that regard. Definitely subscribing and watching more of your content in the future.
This is the fairest, most well-contextualized review I've seen for a phone in some time. Thank you for not just skimming the spec sheet and highlighting differences between this and the latest Samsung phone. Kudos! 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. I'M NOT GIVING UP MY JACK!
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 UA-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, UA-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.
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.
Juan, you've found your calling. Most impressive, honest and thoughtful review with an emphasis on focusing on what matters. Loved this, and loving my new V60. Appreciate you ~ Hoping someone picks up the LG phone division, otherwise they will be sorely missed
As a UA-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.
Thanks for the great review! I'm sold. Was sold on the LG v30 for the DAC. LG seems to really hit everything else I was looking for in a new phone out of the park- Multi tasking with multiple screens, stylus for doodling, content creation, and headphone jack with DAC still! Woo!
@@SomeGadgetGuy first fell in love with the design of the V-series with the V10 and V20 with how unique they were. While I do miss the more rugged design of those, the V60 is the absolute best phone ever for multi-tasking and just packed feature-wise. I love the phone all around, but damn like you said it is BIG and it is HEAVY particularly with the dual screen case on. Was a bit surprised when I took it out of the box 😂
Yo i would just like to give you a round of applause for being one of the first youtubers ive seen give a comprehensive review in a manner that is easily understandable, and concise. Keep up the good work.
I love this review. Finally a fair and honest phone reviewer. Great job recommending a device most reviewers write off because of ridiculous specs that no average consumer cares about or will ever notice in their daily use
Thank you Juan for making the video accessible to us non-Patreon viewers here on UA-cam. It's been a long time since we got to see your full review on a phone.
I'm happy that your videos finally have ads so that you can get some revenue out of UA-cam, even though it would be bit annoying for us viwers. Hopefully you'll be able to put the full videos that you usually put on Patreon. Also, keep it up with your content! Hope your community grows!

Awesome review! I think one of the advantages of the Note 10 is its size and pen support. I like the V60 too, but I live in Europe so we won't get it. But I tried a V50 in a store and it's huge.
A detailed insight into not just the V60, but also how important it is for such a phone to exist in 2020! This review just got me excited about the smartphone industry once again. Excellent work Juan!
I hope that you and yours are well God bless! The LG V60 i think is a fantastic phone and a powerhouse for content creation. 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! Keep up the excellent work God bless!
Might finally upgrade from my v35 I've had since new. I haven't seen much of a need to upgrade since my v35 still works ~fine~ but this phone (v60) may be my next phone, though I may wait a bit for the price to go down
Finished watching this great video from juan. Wait, what?? Almost 30 min video? Without any background music, no flashy 360 video of the product? No deep/bass voice narrative? How did I focus the entire video..? You know what, it's just show how good juan is with his own style of review. Which could also be applied to those buying phones because of what the advertising/gimmick told them, instead of what best fit for them. Keep it up juan, you're the man. Can I suggest you make a video on how to setup podcast/ song or music recording using lg phones. Since it was intended to be content creation and audiophile phone.

I had worries about the screen going from the V20 1440p . But the V60 with the audio and OLED actually looks better by a respectable amount. The V60 is a youtube consumers dream phone. Long battery life , stereo speakers , and amazing quad dac using headphones and a pretty amoled screen and it's cheap. Get one now and when you crack your screen in 2 years you can buy a refurb phone for $100-200
on my v40 right now. really thinking of upgrading but my old v20 still works well and I use both my v20 and v40 in tandem throughout the day! v60 is looking pretty great tho 🤔
@@harysviewty I got 2 batteries and a battery charger when gorilla gadget when they had a special! I usually I have 1 battery in, and the other battery charging. my v20 runs like a marathon
Same thing here.. Just got myself lg v40 and am using both that one as well as my old g4 with 3 spare batteries... Got so used to swapping batteries when my phone dies and I miss that on my v40.. Lg sure makes some really cool phones
The dedicated fingerprint reader in the back has made my life so much easier. I fear the moment when I ll have to replace my V40. Is any manufacturer still sporting one?
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.
Whew!! So much flew right over my head lol Didn't know how much I didn't know about smart phones. But I do know I loved my V10. I switched temporarily to a Samsung A10, but am going back to LG. Ordered the V60 (just the phone) and can't wait. I think I will really enjoy the audio quality and hope it will be easy to navigate like the V10 was for me. Crossing my fingers on getting used to the size.
I saw picture of someone playing a 3ds emulator with the dual screen. I thought it was nifty as heck. I love using the s10+, but man the curved edges are still not growing on me, I'll definitely go back to lg as my next phone
Juan Carlos - Another well done video. I really appreciate your insight, which always goes beyond the spec list. Fair and balanced and unafraid to deviate from the prevailing orthodoxy.
Any chance of a Redmagic 5g review once it's out? You're my favorite reviewer and would like to see what you think of it because atm specs wise it's looking pretty damn good
Why id use the second screen is becuase i multitask ALOT. UA-cam+games/ youtube+social media/ games+ social media/ social media+social media/ list goes on. This phone is honestly perfect for my use
My friend pre ordered the s20 ultra and isn't even using QHD and 120hz even when I pointed it out to him and shower him the difference he said he barley noticed and switched it back. Can't get more average consumer then that I love the 120hz personally, but it isn't a deal breaker when for example every Samsung is a exynos chip in my country so I rather use LG with a Snapdragon. Will have to see if networks get the device here otherwise will keep on using my v30
Something I've noticed if you're upgrading from an LG V40 to a V60: even though both phones use an oled display. Color reproduction seems to be better or more vibrant and less washed out on the V40 but colors are still decent on the V60 Another thing: if you want to use LG pay and you have a capital one account. It is not currently supported🙄
Great in depth review as always bro. Although I would have like to see a qhd display, I will agree with you that lg is definitely giving people more bang for their buck! Thanks again for your review 👍
Its why LG gets my money. I have some awesome Kinera Idun IEM's that sound absolutely amazing on my current V40. Wifey and I just did the BOGO at Tmobile for a couple V60's that we pick up on Tuesday. Looks like it will be a nice upgrade.
Dude I cried the first time I heard the V60s audio through my high end headphones. I was considering the Note 20 ultra but NOPE the V60 is perfect for me.
You're by far the best reviewer on UA-cam Miachel fisher just straight up dismissed this phone I really appreciate the time you spend on these reviews and your different approach to tech in general Some heavy games I play are F1 mobile Real racing 3 Gta vc Minecraft
Always a pleasure watching your reviews especially on LG phones. I just picked one up but wasn't that impressed with the cameras. Would love to see you do a comparison between the G8 and V60's cameras. I don't have my G8 anymore but can't help but.feel like the margin between the 2 isn't that far off.
No awful, grating and headache-inducing background (so-called) music. Finally! A watchable review of a phone that I am genuinely interested in that I could get through. Thanks JuanB.
Juan great review, you are one of the only honest LG reviewers out there, thanks! I had an LG v40 Thinq, and traded it in for an LG G8x Thinq because they had a deal where I was paying 20 per month for my V40 and could could get the G8x for 15 a month, plus dual screen. I left samsung during my note 2 days for the LG G flex (which is still my favorite phone ever) and been with LG ever since, If anyone is the least bit interested in the dual screen they can get the G8x and buy it outright unlocked and try it , they won't be disappointed. I heard that LG has also made a dual screen for the Velvet. Remember, had samsung or apple done the exact same thing with these specs it would have received the acclaim LG should have. Thanks again Juan!
Always my favorite reviewer for all LG devices! I've owned LG's since the LG G3, and also a few Sony Xperia's. Anyway, as far as a game recommendation, may I suggest Oddworld: Strangers Wrath. I first played it on my LG G Flex 2 and it played very well, despite the infamous SD 810. Granted, the phone did get very hot, but it didn't sacrifice gameplay, just battery life. The game has 3rd and 1st person gameplay as well as acquiring and switching between different weapons. I'm on ATT, and I've been thinking about getting this, but I wanted the white one, so the fact that you suggested the blue one makes me feel a bit more comfortable. Lol. Good review, and keep up the good work!
FINALLY!!! A video that actually acknowledges Pro Modes in the camera. Yes, the average person won't use them, but this isn't a phone meant for "average" users! You just got another sub for this one!
Dammit Juan I've been free all day and now I'm with company and have to watch this video later. But I just got my dual screen accessory for free and have been using that for a few days. Yes this sucker is huge. Can't wait to watch this later!
Dude! What a review. Thanks so much for an excellent commentary, well beyond the product. I was wavering on this possible purchase. You have clarified so much and I am just thinking of the size question now. Doing very little telephoning makes this a good prospect as I was hunting for something as an alternative to a laptop. Being I am self employed and mobile. A little sad as I am a Nova Launcher user, but tks for that heads up. Now a subscriber, refreshing to hear the real straight talk.
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?
Really looking forward to importing this phone to the UK. Have a V20 and I love it. Got a Mate 20 pro on a cheap contract deal, and tbh I can take it or leave it. I still use my V20 for audio every day, and emui is terrible.
Wow - just stumbled on you and I'm very impressed. What an amazing review! I've personally never owned an LG but now I'm quite intrigued. I'm one of those gotta have consumers - silly really because I never use a phone to it's true potential. Sadly the V60 isn't available in the UK, so I can't dable. I have however subscribed for more content - you talk complete sense! Thank you.
We're all taking a look at our behavior. I've been calling for a mid-range pivot for a while now, but it's been increasingly important giving everything that's going on...
@@SomeGadgetGuy But now some are backtracking. Chris Velazco over at Engadget... bashed the shit out of it during his initial review. Now after being dragged through the mud by virtually every commenter, he's come back singing a New Tune. Now its... "A compromised phone I like anyway" Thank you for your truth and enjoyment of a reviewer and user expression for the LG brand.
I just bought this phone unopened brand new unlocked T-Mobile for $375 on eBay, that's ridiculous. It is so nice it's like a Samsung Note phone for 1/3 the price. Sound quality from the headphone jack is phenomenal the best and it's compatible with a stylus like the note series. This screen is as clear and sharp as my previous phone the Galaxy S9 which has wqhd+ pixel density. The colors are just outright better on the LG phone as well and I'm really surprised because I thought the Galaxy S9 screen was almost unbeatable.
Love this phone. Had an S20 Ultra at launch. Is it hard to believe I like this phone better? Lol. And that dual screen is SO COOL! Very happy with the phone over all.
@@SomeGadgetGuy You are a doing great job reviewing devices, which are bang for the money. Would appreciate if you would recommend or make a video on good android mini tab (7 or 8 inch display). Thank you.
You are definitely ahead of the consumerism if that's the proper word to use . Just wondering how you can do it watching UA-cam videos on lastest and greatest technology everyday 😅.
The devices this year, are making me happier that I went with the LG G8 honestly. Higher resolution screen, great camera that is flush with the device, and performance is pretty much identical to what they have this year. I do miss using third-party launchers though, still waiting for gestures to be supported by Android update.
For the games section, I suggest you look into "Sky: Children of the Light" game. Veeery taxing to the system. It's basically Journey for phones, made by the same company.
Beside the detailed review, props for featuring Anima - the game I played most with on a phone for a long time as it's missing the usual gimmicks of phone games. Can also relate to not missing battle royale games. Subbed + notifications thanks.
@@z4ng3tsu1ch1g0 Then you pay a restocking fee, at least on a carrier. Idk how it works otherwise. To my knowledge, the V60 is only being sold thru carriers atm. I was thinking along the lines of trying several phones. I have no idea what I'll be getting this year.
Very in-depth review,I love looking at them,you are unbiased and give so much detail. Keep the good work man and don't stick with the crowd like the others whom only prays Samsung and apple and huawei no matter what it's true or not

The update really depends on the manufacturers and how well the phone sold or not.

Very true. If I would have known about LG phones years ago, I would never have used Samsung.
You like value but get a new phone every year?
I'm still using my V20 and it's actually superior in a lot of ways to modern flagships

hi welcome to my channel and my v60 review. I’ve been using it for 1 week. The v60 has lower resolution screen and just 60hz, wtf LG. But it has a big battery so i guess it is okay. Insert 10 minute padding. But it is not a Samsung so it is not really worth it. Thanks for watching.
Of course i’m being sarcastic. Lol

Its SUPER flexible.

@@gc1775 I'm 6'4". Size is relative. I'm writing this response on one screen while I'm listening to a company webinar on the other. One handed.
This is such a great phone and I really want to buy the V60. It's probably too much phone for me but that headphone Jack is such a great underused feature in smartphones.
It really is an epic feature to hold on to. Especially for gaming.
So far to me it's the most underrated flagship, and I haven't even owned an LG phone until this one.
Even if the headphone jack is dead on most other phones that doesn't mean wired audio is also dead. You can still use usb c headphones or just simply use an adapter.
@@popantermopan4099 Problem is that's another item to carry that can get lost easily, plus you'll wear out the USB C port easily. Believe me it happened to me from normal use, okay maybe heavy use, but imagine how it quickly it would wear out if from both charging and using it for headphones.
@@mistamaog of course, I never said that there aren't any trade offs that you would have to make if your phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but I don't think not having a headphone jack should be a deal breaker for most folks. You know, the jack is not a necessary feature but it's still nice to have.
"You just have to pay attention to some other brands."
YES KING YES!
It's the first time I've heard that it was compatible with an active stylus 😃 Wow
Edit: Lg doesn't even mention it on their website
Its a tiny throw away listing on their spec sheet. LG REALLY needs to step up some advertising
@@SomeGadgetGuy I was about to say the same thing 😃but what do you think about their design lately? I haven't check them out since g6 and I think they changed a lot and not in a good way
@@SomeGadgetGuy I thought that the active digitiser is quite expensive, why put it and never advertise it.. like you were saying they really need to sort out their marketing
It's advertised on LG Canada Italia Japan and come as free bundle
in the same vein I didn't realize it ditched the old fingerprint scanner for an in display one. tho I should have guessed when I saw the back of the phone lol
WOW! 29mins of full detailed review, man you should do these more often. If you will ask me, your review is my most anticipated specially with LG devices. Your second to none, PERIOD! Keep it up Juan. After watching this V60 review I'm full. 😂👌🔥
These things take so long to make...
He has more detailed reviews for dedicated topics on patreon
@@SomeGadgetGuy yeah but you killed on this one i was like 1/3 threw and said what! you kept going and going like the energizer bunny but u sold me
I just love this video. Finally someone smart that said the true about those people who get expensive phones just to use it for social media jajajajs. I got the V60 but I use it for video content
This thing out here wrecking laptops.
"But what if i only shoot full auto hdr stills and never try anything else on the phone?"
LG V series rocks! I currently have the V40 and I love it so much! As long as LG V Series keeps their headphone jack and incredible Quad DAC, I will not change for another phone brand. Thank you for the great review!
Those headphone jacks are so damn good...
.....then they stop
Love your detailed and unbiased reviews man. LG rocks!
👍😊
This is a super good review!!! I have an LG G5 that I got in November 2016 and it's still going strong using it aggressively everyday, not to mention I have easily dropped this phone over 1000+ times and it works perfectly fine...... Currently deciding on a V50, G9, or V60... definitely want a dual screen but not sure if Verizon offers it.... Would get the G8 but it has no 5G..... Thanks for the great content!!!!
Juan, hands down the best tech reviews I've seen on the net. Thorough, informative of what's really important, critical of things we SHOULD care more about, and someone I feel I can trust with these reviews and opinions. Thank you for your dedication and keep up the great work!
Amen
This review needs more attention! especially with average consumer and "tech enthusiasts" that sounds like influencer rather than tech enthusiast itself. because it's more detailed and proven by tests. i like how your review perform man. it reminds me with jarrod's tech which tests every laptop and prove the results and even you put more logic rant with people nowadays. thumbs up dude.
and dang that 23:50 such a thicc phone bruh ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
and yes... i have some reccomendation game like Grid autosport, honkai impact 3 for jrpg 3d (because it has so much effect this could probably tests the procie performances) and ark survival.
I love the fact this phone has an FM radio as well. 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.
Finally some credit for LG that it deserves. Also the hardware quality of LG is really good. Good work Juan.
"you just have to *pay attention* to other brands to see it.." someone call the police.. this man just murdered all of the Samsung fanboys

Samsung is ok, I just upgraded from a s9 to the LG V60 thinq and it was the price $1,300 is just to much of an ouch

@@TheDrinkyDude How are you finding the LG V60 ThinQ compared to Samsung Galaxy S9? I have the S9 and I'm considering upgrading to the LG V60 ThinQ myself
@@ellietischler I like it once you remove some of the bloatware and turn off the background apps the battery can last days, I've not charged my phone for two days and still had a residual 15 to 20 percent, my only complaint is after the update I can't choose a ringtone it auto defaults but I get so few calls it's just a annoyance
Just found this channel, the UA-cam algorithm really seems to be doing you no favors. Searched "LG V60" and similar trying to find a good review on this phone as I took the plunge and ordered myself one. Watched several half ass videos before discovering this one, which was nowhere to be found in my search results. "LG seems to be the only one who still has me in mind," that is the exact reason I chose this phone. I'm huge into audio, and I too am really sick of hearing this stupid "well just use bluetooth BRO" excuse. Seeing the headphone jack in a 2020 model phone is refreshing, the quad DAC is a nice bonus too. Also can I just say, this video was really well organized and you explained everything really well in a detailed yet not extremely boring way. You have a really entertaining "radio" voice, you kind of remind me of Bitwit in that regard. Definitely subscribing and watching more of your content in the future.
🙂👍
This is the fairest, most well-contextualized review I've seen for a phone in some time. Thank you for not just skimming the spec sheet and highlighting differences between this and the latest Samsung phone. Kudos!
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. I'M NOT GIVING UP MY JACK!
I just think claims should be tested you know. The bigger the claim, the more scrutiny it should face.
@@SomeGadgetGuy preach that brohem!
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 UA-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, UA-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.
No worries on the rant. We all feel that way from time to time. 🙂👍
@@SomeGadgetGuy Thanks man.
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.
Congrats on the new phone!
Juan, you've found your calling. Most impressive, honest and thoughtful review with an emphasis on focusing on what matters. Loved this, and loving my new V60. Appreciate you ~
Hoping someone picks up the LG phone division, otherwise they will be sorely missed
As a UA-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.
Glad I could help. Happy shooting, and congrats on the new phone.
Thanks for the great review! I'm sold. Was sold on the LG v30 for the DAC. LG seems to really hit everything else I was looking for in a new phone out of the park- Multi tasking with multiple screens, stylus for doodling, content creation, and headphone jack with DAC still! Woo!
It's super flexible. Covers almost everything.
I picked up a V60 last week and I love it. Battery life is ABSURD.
It's real nice.
@@SomeGadgetGuy first fell in love with the design of the V-series with the V10 and V20 with how unique they were. While I do miss the more rugged design of those, the V60 is the absolute best phone ever for multi-tasking and just packed feature-wise.
I love the phone all around, but damn like you said it is BIG and it is HEAVY particularly with the dual screen case on. Was a bit surprised when I took it out of the box 😂
Yo i would just like to give you a round of applause for being one of the first youtubers ive seen give a comprehensive review in a manner that is easily understandable, and concise. Keep up the good work.
I love this review. Finally a fair and honest phone reviewer. Great job recommending a device most reviewers write off because of ridiculous specs that no average consumer cares about or will ever notice in their daily use
Thank you Juan for making the video accessible to us non-Patreon viewers here on UA-cam. It's been a long time since we got to see your full review on a phone.
All the main reviews are always public. Op7, gs10e, Xperia 1 and 5, pixel 4. All those videos are public on the channel.
Thank you for the great review! LG phones are amazing. I love my LG V50. I just hope that LG will come back here in the Philippines. 👍🏼
me too. I love my v50. Please come back to ph LG
Sadly,you can buy LG devices in grey market.
I'm happy that your videos finally have ads so that you can get some revenue out of UA-cam, even though it would be bit annoying for us viwers. Hopefully you'll be able to put the full videos that you usually put on Patreon.
Also, keep it up with your content! Hope your community grows!
Awesome review!
I think one of the advantages of the Note 10 is its size and pen support.
I like the V60 too, but I live in Europe so we won't get it.
But I tried a V50 in a store and it's huge.
A detailed insight into not just the V60, but also how important it is for such a phone to exist in 2020! This review just got me excited about the smartphone industry once again. Excellent work Juan!
Keeping my G8 simply because of the rear finger print sensor . Great video thank you.
It's SO much better than the in-display sensors...
That rear finger sensor is so much better. It is much quicker than the on screen version. Still, I am enjoying this V60.
I hope that you and yours are well God bless! The LG V60 i think is a fantastic phone and a powerhouse for content creation. 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! Keep up the excellent work God bless!
Aah... Some handful of LG admires watching on their LG phones of a LG phone review....👏👏 We are the minorities..
Might finally upgrade from my v35 I've had since new. I haven't seen much of a need to upgrade since my v35 still works ~fine~ but this phone (v60) may be my next phone, though I may wait a bit for the price to go down
Yep watching on my G8 while waiting for my V60 to ship from T-Mobile.
On my v30 with my dying leds when I lower brightness. Sucks.
Haha so true. I always ask people bashing LG: who made your TV?
I'm currently watching this on my V30. I would love to buy the V60, but not sure it will work with spectrum's service.
Finished watching this great video from juan. Wait, what?? Almost 30 min video? Without any background music, no flashy 360 video of the product? No deep/bass voice narrative? How did I focus the entire video..? You know what, it's just show how good juan is with his own style of review. Which could also be applied to those buying phones because of what the advertising/gimmick told them, instead of what best fit for them. Keep it up juan, you're the man. Can I suggest you make a video on how to setup podcast/ song or music recording using lg phones. Since it was intended to be content creation and audiophile phone.
Could be a fun project. 😁

I had worries about the screen going from the V20 1440p . But the V60 with the audio and OLED actually looks better by a respectable amount.
The V60 is a youtube consumers dream phone.
Long battery life , stereo speakers , and amazing quad dac using headphones and a pretty amoled screen and it's cheap.

I've been watching V60 reviews for a month now and this review is everything. Thanks! Practical and useful comments man
Glad you like them!
The dedicated fingerprint reader in the back has made my life so much easier. I fear the moment when I ll have to replace my V40. Is any manufacturer still sporting one?
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.
Whew!! So much flew right over my head lol
Didn't know how much I didn't know about smart phones.
But I do know I loved my V10.
I switched temporarily to a Samsung A10, but am going back to LG.
Ordered the V60 (just the phone) and can't wait.
I think I will really enjoy the audio quality and hope it will be easy to navigate like the V10 was for me.
Crossing my fingers on getting used to the size.
I saw picture of someone playing a 3ds emulator with the dual screen. I thought it was nifty as heck.
I love using the s10+, but man the curved edges are still not growing on me, I'll definitely go back to lg as my next phone
Juan Carlos - Another well done video. I really appreciate your insight, which always goes beyond the spec list. Fair and balanced and unafraid to deviate from the prevailing orthodoxy.

Any chance of a Redmagic 5g review once it's out?
You're my favorite reviewer and would like to see what you think of it because atm specs wise it's looking pretty damn good
I really want to play with one.
Why id use the second screen is becuase i multitask ALOT. UA-cam+games/ youtube+social media/ games+ social media/ social media+social media/ list goes on. This phone is honestly perfect for my use
My friend pre ordered the s20 ultra and isn't even using QHD and 120hz even when I pointed it out to him and shower him the difference he said he barley noticed and switched it back.
Can't get more average consumer then that
I love the 120hz personally, but it isn't a deal breaker when for example every Samsung is a exynos chip in my country so I rather use LG with a Snapdragon. Will have to see if networks get the device here otherwise will keep on using my v30
That's because there's no noticeable difference. It's a gimmick.
so thankful i found your and Michael Josh's great reviews/videos on this phone, made my decision on getting the v60 so much easier.
Something I've noticed if you're upgrading from an LG V40 to a V60: even though both phones use an oled display. Color reproduction seems to be better or more vibrant and less washed out on the V40 but colors are still decent on the V60
Another thing: if you want to use LG pay and you have a capital one account. It is not currently supported🙄

@@popo-sq4ij same here. Totally worth it!
Juan great review, you are one of the only honest LG reviewers out there, thanks! I had an LG v40 Thinq, and traded it in for an LG G8x Thinq because they had a deal where I was paying 20 per month for my V40 and could could get the G8x for 15 a month, plus dual screen. I left samsung during my note 2 days for the LG G flex (which is still my favorite phone ever) and been with LG ever since, If anyone is the least bit interested in the dual screen they can get the G8x and buy it outright unlocked and try it , they won't be disappointed. I heard that LG has also made a dual screen for the Velvet. Remember, had samsung or apple done the exact same thing with these specs it would have received the acclaim LG should have. Thanks again Juan!
Best review of 2020 so far
Always my favorite reviewer for all LG devices! I've owned LG's since the LG G3, and also a few Sony Xperia's. Anyway, as far as a game recommendation, may I suggest Oddworld: Strangers Wrath. I first played it on my LG G Flex 2 and it played very well, despite the infamous SD 810. Granted, the phone did get very hot, but it didn't sacrifice gameplay, just battery life. The game has 3rd and 1st person gameplay as well as acquiring and switching between different weapons.
I'm on ATT, and I've been thinking about getting this, but I wanted the white one, so the fact that you suggested the blue one makes me feel a bit more comfortable. Lol.
Good review, and keep up the good work!
The oddworld games are so fun...
@@SomeGadgetGuy yes, they are! I had the very first one for the OG PlayStation. I got addicted to them after that.
FINALLY!!! A video that actually acknowledges Pro Modes in the camera. Yes, the average person won't use them, but this isn't a phone meant for "average" users!
You just got another sub for this one!
Makes me crazy. We shouldn't be pushing$1000 phones on folks just covering the basics.

Dude! What a review. Thanks so much for an excellent commentary, well beyond the product. I was wavering on this possible purchase. You have clarified so much and I am just thinking of the size question now. Doing very little telephoning makes this a good prospect as I was hunting for something as an alternative to a laptop. Being I am self employed and mobile. A little sad as I am a Nova Launcher user, but tks for that heads up. Now a subscriber, refreshing to hear the real straight talk.
Glad it could help!
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?
mine is on the way. outstanding review my friend...
Have u got it how ur experience
Really looking forward to importing this phone to the UK. Have a V20 and I love it. Got a Mate 20 pro on a cheap contract deal, and tbh I can take it or leave it. I still use my V20 for audio every day, and emui is terrible.

@@twany442 look at Android authority article vs video 🤭
I just bought this phone unopened brand new unlocked T-Mobile for $375 on eBay, that's ridiculous. It is so nice it's like a Samsung Note phone for 1/3 the price. Sound quality from the headphone jack is phenomenal the best and it's compatible with a stylus like the note series. This screen is as clear and sharp as my previous phone the Galaxy S9 which has wqhd+ pixel density. The colors are just outright better on the LG phone as well and I'm really surprised because I thought the Galaxy S9 screen was almost unbeatable.

I would really love to see if maybe the launcher will work since it's being beta tested for the Surface Duo!

You are definitely ahead of the consumerism if that's the proper word to use . Just wondering how you can do it watching UA-cam videos on lastest and greatest technology everyday 😅.
The devices this year, are making me happier that I went with the LG G8 honestly. Higher resolution screen, great camera that is flush with the device, and performance is pretty much identical to what they have this year. I do miss using third-party launchers though, still waiting for gestures to be supported by Android update.
For the games section, I suggest you look into "Sky: Children of the Light" game. Veeery taxing to the system. It's basically Journey for phones, made by the same company.
Noice! Sold!
Beside the detailed review, props for featuring Anima - the game I played most with on a phone for a long time as it's missing the usual gimmicks of phone games. Can also relate to not missing battle royale games. Subbed + notifications thanks.
Ok. I THINK I found my hook for BR. If you like dual stick shooters, or isometric looters, Check out Battlelands Royale. It's adorable.
Never underestimate the headphone jack!!!
I thought the same thing. Until I had a phone without one. Using a dongle on phone without headphone jack sounds just as good as my V40.
One of the best phone reviews I have ever watched. Great job.
These reviews always need more help sharing...
It would be great if we could just rent each phone for a week & then make a decision.
I really wanted to start a boutique gadget purchasing service, but the money and insurance make no sense as a sustainable business.
You can just buy it and then return it before the return window expires...?
@@z4ng3tsu1ch1g0 Then you pay a restocking fee, at least on a carrier. Idk how it works otherwise. To my knowledge, the V60 is only being sold thru carriers atm. I was thinking along the lines of trying several phones. I have no idea what I'll be getting this year.
@@brybry9977 think of the restocking fee as a rental fee...Businesses will close if they just rent shit free of charge
I missed Juan's reviews in pocket now. I'm so glad I found this channel. Can't wait for the full camera review...
Juan, do you have an LG manual camera tutorial or where can I find one
Thanks and great complete review
Awesome review, subscribed, liked, and just ordered the phone. Gave me exactly what I wanted to know to pull the trigger. Thanks man!
Happy to help 🙂
LG V Series is always been top notch compared to the contemporary competition.
