I've been a V60 owner since 2020 and it's been a great phone. LG has always been my favorite phone manufacturer since the Nexus 4. One thing I'll say The case while people worry about breaking the screen it is surprisingly tough. Great v60 breakdown thanks!
I got mine free from t mobile but bad battery life I like lg but after the lg g5 it’s went to shit
@@user-dz3sq9bf6swhat happened when connected different phone to it since it just adapter to add second screen
Wow I'm so shocked I'm ordering now
@@user-dz3sq9bf6s - V30 V40 V60 топ смартфоны cвоего времени - у V60 батарея 5000 и он держит больше чем любой флагман даже в 23 году ...
do you actually use the case? feels like il just buy it but never use it
I was an LG user before the Pixel 6 came out and LG shut down their phone department. These were great phones. It sucks they couldn't keep going.
так V60 круче любого Пикселя в 2023 году
LG had everything to be at the very least as successful as Samsung, but they fucked it up. Outside of the manufacturing problem about the G4, they left their iconic design for the G5. Then they make it looks like to Samsung, it was like a lost of identity, and then they added the hideous notch.
Good video. A few points of clarification:
1) "without the Pogo pin, you have to remove the case to charge it." Actually you can use wireless charging with the case on. 15w which was class leading in March of 2020 when this came out.
2) if you lose your pogo connector, it will cost you 25 bucks. At the time LG was charging $9, and even for as much as a year or so after they were gone, you could still find it for $9 online. I assume that $25 price you see now is through resellers. When LG Mobile went down I bought like six of them for 60 bucks.
3) The phone came out in 2020 not in 2019.
4) probably should have mentioned the stylus support and the desktop mode but LG didn't do a good job with marketing that.
NO JOKE.... LG's phone skin and everything was already one of the smoothest experience we can get outside of iphone.. htc with their sense UI.. or even TouchWiz (in the galaxy S2)..
LG Optimus 2X was the prove..
I also hope they would come back to smartphone markets..
surprised other companies havent tried to replicate the v60s duel screen phone case addon for other phones. seems like a great way to add additional functionality to other devices
a lot of manufacturers are already too cheapskate to implement a basic external display support, let alone something more niche 😅
What's really the selling point of it though? It seems pretty useless. You can already have multiple apps open at once on one screen for the niche times you need it.
@@VinnytotheKI have a Pixel 7 Pro as my actual phone now, but I bought a V60 day one and still carry it 90% of the time along with my actual phone for mobile gaming. If an option for a new proper dual screen phone had existed when it was time to upgrade I probably would have gone for that because of how much I love the dual screen on the V60. It's hard to put it down to one like "killer use case", it's really just the convenience of being able to quickly do a side task without closing out of the app that you already have open and getting distracted that was always the big pull for me, and a lot of apps don't really play that well with split screen, so each app getting a full screen of real estate means they both will behave as expected. I also use an app that allows me to run second instances of the same app so I am able to use two pokemon go accounts at the same time on one phone.
It seems that they're going for foldables this time around, which is great but they are again suffering from the lack of user friendly features like a headphone jack and expandable storage.
Maybe companies saw the tea leaves. I don't know who had the first dual-screen phone. I remembered the ZTE Axon M which was released in 2017. I assume other companies didn't do it because they didn't sell well. Another thing might be the lack of software development. Google already had a hard time making the OS fit onto tablets, it might be more work to have Android work on a dual screen compared to something like the Samsung fold which in a sense just one screen.
Yeah, I can vouch for the V60 as a really reliable and very solid phone. And to be able to get it new for $250 today is a steal. I have had mine since it released, and paid $1300. What I enjoy the most with the v60 is the true stereo sound(yes it has 2 speakers on each side of the phone.) And the photo quality is amazing.
Have to admit, I jumped a bit when I realized you were looking at the V60. Use one to this day, bought used for dirt cheap. Shockingly good to this day! Especially thanks to the DAC-equpped headphone jack for my IEMs.
LG phones over the years always had low resale value on the third-party market. They always lacked good software support and they seem to drop features on phones or designs: the modular G5, second screen v10, the curved phone, the wing, ect.

I'm writing this comment from my LGV60 dual screen right now. I've had it since inception and which I bought from T-Mobile for $699 with a free case. I upgraded from my LGG8X dual screen because I wanted 5G and a bigger screen. It still makes people drop their jaw!
I'll use multiple apps at a time all day. From experience with the LGG8X I knew to buy multiple magnetic pogo connectors. Only one has gone bad out of 4.
I bought a Huawei pen and it works great because the phone has pen support and Dex.
I'm currently waiting for the One Plus Open to be shipped to me.... But keeping them LGV60 for the quad DAC headphone jack and 8K video recording
Love the concept, amazing review!
I am currently using an LG V50S and honestly I also wish that LG would come back in the smartphone line, seriously they were one of the first companies to introduce awesome phone features and even excellent camera quality. I think that if they do, they are able to introduce more capable tech that can compete with Apple and Samsung..
Not gonna happen. They will lose to China brands globally and they aren't popular in their home country that loves Apple and Samsung.

Had my V60 for about 10 months, was an absolute beast of a device! I had no intention to change it, too bad it got stolen, and now I'm staying phoneless untill I could afford another V60, I still have no intentions for a change lol.
Went back to watch your AD and it reminded me of how good the sound is on the V60. You even get a surround sound type effect watching movies.
I daily drive this phone! The only complaint is any time I meet someone new and I am using both screens I get so many questions 😂
I've had my V60 a few years now and I'm on my 1st replacement screen case. Damn good phone!!
The v60 and s20 were such great buys. Still going strong today!
It's sad that there wasn't deep coverage of LG phones and software when their mobile division was running as it may have translated to more phone sales and thus them feeling it's worth investing.
They were the brand to keep everyone honest and since their demise and HTC to be honest, we've seen a stagnant market with companies coasting on one big feature every year and calling it innovation.
I have owned many LG phones over the years. The time period when the LG G4, G5, and v10 had a lot of issues. The software when first released was never good. The software updates were slow and few. They did get a little better near the end but when they happened they closed their mobile division.
U are so right. Once they left the game. Everything turned😂lg the equalizer
I have the case and just reliously charge wirelessly. Don't forget the Desktop. Plug directly with C to HDMI or use a powered hub (so you can stay charged) with a mouse and keyboard attached. A stylus can also be used one the V60. A very full featured phone!
I had the Lg V30+ for a Couple of
Years. The Inbuilt Audio DAC gave
the Best Audio Experience. 👌🏾
Its a shame that Lg stopped producing smartphones tbh..i still have my 2018 LG G7 which i used as a primary phone until last month, and WITHOUT ever factory resetting it, the phone was buttery smooth while doing everyday tasks..truly a work horse of a device.
Currently using a V60 and I love it.
Side Note: I have this phone and case, No need for the attachment for charging, you can charge wirelessly
I remember I had my eyes set on getting an LG phone until LG decided to quit making phones all together, which sucked so much. Them, along with Sony, were the only ones coming out with fully featured phones, and by that, I mean they had a headphone jack and expendable storage.
Thankfully Sony is still making those
@@Unlucky1776just not for the us market no carrier uses there phones
@@user-dz3sq9bf6s phew thankfully I don’t live there
@@user-dz3sq9bf6s I mean wouldn’t it be better for a phone to not be tied to a company? So if you’re ever gonna sell it it’s open line?

Several factors contribute to the exclusive availability of some Japanese smartphones in Japan. These include:
Domestic Market Focus: Japanese smartphone manufacturers have traditionally focused on their domestic market due to its size, affluence, and unique consumer preferences. This approach has allowed them to tailor their products specifically to the Japanese market and achieve significant market share.
Carrier Differentiation: Japanese mobile carriers play a significant role in smartphone sales and distribution. They often have close relationships with domestic manufacturers and may have exclusive rights to sell certain models. This differentiation can limit the availability of these models outside of Japan.
Regulatory Compliance: Japanese smartphones may have features or specifications that are specific to the Japanese market, such as support for certain frequency bands or compatibility with local services. Obtaining regulatory approval for these features in other markets can be costly and time-consuming, making it less attractive for manufacturers to expand their product offerings globally.
Cost Considerations: Expanding into new markets requires significant investments in marketing, distribution, and customer support. Japanese smartphone manufacturers may not see the financial justification for these investments, especially when their domestic market is already quite lucrative.
Cultural Preferences: Japanese consumers have distinct preferences for smartphone features and design, which may not align with the preferences of consumers in other markets. Focusing on the domestic market allows Japanese manufacturers to cater to these specific preferences without having to compromise or dilute their product offerings.
Competition and Market Saturation: The global smartphone market is highly competitive and saturated, making it challenging for new entrants to gain traction. Japanese manufacturers may find it easier to maintain their market share and profitability by focusing on their domestic market, where they have a strong brand presence and established relationships with carriers and consumers.
I lived in Japan in the 2000s. At the time their cell phones were more advanced. They seem not to care about expanding into other markets.
I've had this phone for 2 years and for my job it is priceless since I run multiple apps at once and the pen allows me to open a note app without touching the phone.
I loved The V Series LG Phones, I had a V20 back in 2016 and loved it. Now this video makes me want one now.
LG always made good phones. Unfortunately, “influencers” prefer catering to Samsung and Apple so it didn’t get enough exposure as they didn’t have the budget to pay off the likes of MKBHD and LTT, etc.
MKBHD always talked about how cool LG was.
I like Motorola and Samsung
Offer good devices
how does dumb shit like this always get upvotes? LG phones got plenty of coverage.
I can't find one for $250. Come on...
The guy like to downplay the price
I managed to snag my v60 in excellent condition with the dual screen case and authentic galaxy buds live as a combo pack off swappa for $400 a few years back. Still using the phone today. The charge port is now finicky but its relatively easy to replace. I just need to stop being lazy and do it already. It had some weird software bugs in the past like crashing the google play store when trying to search for apps a second time (first search always worked), but other than that the quad dac and dual screen case is what sold me.
I use Sennheiser HD58x headphones and this device has just been my favorite. I'm going to be very sad when I need to eventually upgrade because I am not sure if any phone manufacturer out there uses high quality dacs except maybe Apple (if they still do anyways). I know I can always get an external one but having a nice one built in without the need for extras is why I loved this phone.
Still have my V30, and loved it. First phone with a built in DAC for audiophiles
I love this phone and still used it alot. I was surprised how much i used both screens. The performance of the phone is really good..
i am using one as a audio player with my headphones. I love V60's sound!
I have the G8X dual screen from LG. I still have it and use it from time to time
What I like with the G and V series is the Quad DAC still capable to this day for audiophiles
And still using my LG G7 up to this day Purely for music and when you install the USB player pro to get the bit perfect for the music without Android taking over the resampling
Im still using my V60, switched to an iphone for a year but went back to android and im using it while i wait for the new phones for the year. Its running pretty good still with a new battery. Also there is a "wide" app that allows any app to run across both screens and it works pretty good in the apps it makes sense. I also loved using it in the car with one screen for media and one screen for maps.
I had the V60 for almost 4 years. I got it as soon as it came out and got my dual case for free 2 months later. I loved that phone! Too bad LG shut down their phones. I'm so sad about that. I switched to the Google Pixel fold and it's just not the same. I want LG to come back!
You should've got the Galaxy Fold 5
@@RigginTheRod010 not a Samsung fan.
@@michaelmeiier3736 I wasn't either because they reminded me too much of Apple but after countless reviews they usually picked the Fold 5 over the Pixel every time. And it's the pixels first Foldable. Samsung has been getting better each year. I had the LG G8X so there's some stuff I miss from the G8X but LG isn't updating anymore
This seems way more practical than the folding phones that break after so many folds.
I'm still using my LG V50s. Almost the same specs as the V60 and have been using it since November 2019. Changed the battery once and that's it. Always use the case and wireless charge it. Don't want to use any other phone and wish there was something similar on the market with the same build quality and features. Trying to buy another one second hand, too.
Watching this on my dual screened V60 nearly 4 years after getting it. On my second case (I broke the last one.. my fault). I love the phone still and will be heartbrojen when it has its last day. The battery is really showing its age. It is about half what it once was. Thankfully it has such a good capacity that even half gets me through an entire day easily
The battery is actually that good? Is it easy to replace?
@@devincurrie4145 Yes and no (still typing on VG60, lol). Yes it is that good and no, it is technically not replaceable. It can be replaced by a tech repair shop or by the bold DIYer, but my fear is I will ruin the waterproofing aspect. At some point I will have to replace it but.. Until then, I remain impressed.
Had a V20 for the longest, I loved that phone...Had to change the battery because it wasn't keeping charge as long (GREAT FEATURE and glad it's coming back in the future). I was thinking about getting this phone, but it was about 600 at the time, and I got a budget samsung instead, then a nokia smartphone, then I eventually bought a Pixel 7 and havent loooked back since.
Wow. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
'Taking the V60 out of the case just to charge'??? If you lose the adapter, there's still wireless charging with this unit.
Thanks Denki for the video. Keep the good work!
I've been trying to find a lg velvet dual screen for months now! the issue is you need to find the exact model for your provider instead of just having it work for all lg velvets. would love to try the dual screen out
I always thought that the add on screen was a neat idea. I figured other manufacturers, or third parties would copy this and am surprised no one has.
This is kind of what folding phone are about.
This is a great feature idea that can be improved by phone makers on mid-range sets. I can already anticipate that a similar idea will be introduced in future phones. This is a rock-soild feature that will cut down the cost of foldable models.
I had no idea about this phone. Never seen or heard of it, until now. I want 1
Good choice on the Koss Porta Pro's I use thm with a small bluetooth adapter (part of the Altec Lansing T515 speaker) with a phone that lacks a headphone socket.
I just bought a v60 and the Dual Screen case. I dont have it yet as it is currently shipping. Im excited for it
Such a great idea
I do this sometimes with my current phone and my last phone, hold them side by side, no fancy case tho. Would be cool to have a more generic case like this and and app to link two phones...
Gotta say, I really like the idea of having a phone case that gives you a second screen to use.
Beyond giving customers a more affordable option when looking into getting dual-screen phones, it’s also just less troublesome from a construction/manufacturing standpoint.
Sure, you might not get the same seamless transition between screens you’d get with a true dual-screen phone (or even a modern flip-phone), but that is a small price to pay for the extra screen space.
My biggest complaints are the lack of a standalone battery for said second screen, and the fact that this is currently the only example of a second screen phone case. Especially since LG is now gone from the mobile scene forever.
Could you drop a link for lg v60? After I saw your review it catch my interest
This Lg series is my dream phone back in the day.
I honestly love LG phones because they think outside the box i wish they would come back one day 😢
"Denki でんき means electricity in Japanese. AKA, the common thread that runs through the devices we can't live without... but also love talking about!" It's also the common thread that runs through our body from head to toe. So, great name.
Nice Donut hat you are a fan of them i see ,a man of culture 😁
I bought the v500n Korean Model(specifically👌🏿)and let me tell you it was the best LG smartphone I ever owned
I love it!
Hey Denki! Did you try playing a game on the v60? I loved the second screen as a controller!
I had the v40, i liked the button/fingerprint reader placement on the back. Miss the LG
I have this and LOVED it! But the new update bricked it. So... I got the Moto G Stylus. Great so far! My LG still works, but won't hold charge. So I'll keep it because it still works!
I'm surprised no one has created a similar case for the iphone 15, now that it has a usb-c port. Imagine having a dual screen iphone without having to shell out additional money to apple.
Who really needs two phone screens though?
It exists
@@VinnytotheKSame people that need 3 cameras
I just bought it for the quad dac and the headphone socket. It's fantastic
I actually like this concept a lot more than foldable smartphones. I don't have to worry about the cracked screen or the crease, and the hinges are easier to repair, provided they're still being supported.
I've had mine since it came it and only recently had problems with the charge adapter. Luckily I had another but find it hard to find authentic ones. But this phones remains great and keep up with everything I need it to do. Games I play on it are running smoothly. I wish LG would come back to making phones, as I would rather not have a Samsung phone.
I like the lg v60 gaming performance
And thank you for making this video about lg v60 and now because of your video I am confident to buy this phone in 2023
I love it. I still have mine. Even though i have the OnePlus Open i can't let go of my V60 it's still an amazing phone in 2023..
My Dad has had this phone since it came out. I've got to let him know he was cutting edge.
To mitigate the problems with the case I put a matte screen protector on the outer reflective part and on the second screen. Changed the user experience for the better monumentally for me
A case like that for like an ipad pro or something would literally be a mobile gamer's wet dream
I can't wait to see what you have to say about the Legion go.
I have this phone for 3 years now and its still going
I always wanted one of those LG smartphones with the duel screens. My only issue is that whole thing with LG bootloop.
The V60 was an amazing device. When the charging port broke after a few years, I used insurance to replace it and since LG shut down, stock was limited and they sent me a Samsung S20 Ultra. It was a downgrade. The V60 also has stylus support on both screens. I bought a Bamboo stylus and it worked great. I liked the mag safe adapter, it kept crap in my pockets from getting in the charging port, and at night I just wave my phone near the cord and it snaps to it. The case on the V60 is durable. I work outside and never had an issue with the case. I accidently cracked the inner screen glass but that was my fault for placing stuff between the sandwich. The hinge on the case is the weak point, it works great, but after a few years it starts to fall apart. I should have just stuck to wireless charging for the phone because I miss it.
I now use a Motorola Edge+ 2022 with the stylus folio and it gives me the closest experience to the V60 without having a secondary screen. Of course no headphones jack or card slot, but 512 gb storage is good enough on board and I fell into the Bluetooth future, so I don't use the headphone jack anymore, but it would be nice to have the option. Overall the Edge+ is like a meeting ground between the V60 and a Samsung S22 Ultra with a few minor compromises of it's own... Mainly camera related.
I think LG could comeback to phones if they played into nostalgia. If T-Mobile doesn't beat them to it with a new modern Sidekick, i could easily see LG bring back a Rumor with full slide out keyboard or a new take on the Voyager that's a folding phone instead of opening to a secondary screen and keyboard. BlackBerry was able to resurrect, even briefly. It's also not like they have anything to lose at that point either.
I am actually still using my V60 going on three years now. I like the phone, but I want to upgrade, but now the ones I want are not as powerful for a good price, or they are priced way out of my budget. I also hate that it's not winevine ready for HD content, mine is only L3 for video playback, except UA-cam. Netflix and Max and the like only play in 480p max.
I wanted to get one too LG was a great line and one of the only ones kept the 3.5mm jack. whereas everyone are removing them.
Lol im using my v60 right now the dual screen is neat!
The loudest phone I know even in 2023 in terms of volume 😁
While I no longer use the v60 as my daily driver as a phone. I loved everything about the phone tbh. Nowadays I use it nearly daily as a tablet at home. I picked up the dual screen for $60 on ebay and wish I put down the cash for it sooner.
Ken! Where do you get your wallpapers from??
but you can get used microsoft Duo for close to that with two screens that work independently. while a cool phone with potential its not on foold level because its not a tablet. I cant quite give up the Surface Duo though because its super nice...I just dont grab it over my other tech
I'm still rocking my V60
I have this phone and daily drive it and have for almost a year now and, theres a few things I dont like about it: the softwear is frustrating sometimes, minor bugs and glitches such as wifi dropping out fequently, and not being able to do certain thinga such as having do not disturb on without muting all media. The dual screen case also has a very flimsy feeling hinge so I stopped using it. The main reason I got it was the price, headphone jack, micro ad card slot, but honestly most of the complaints are about the softwear. I wish it was supported by LG softwear wise longer.
... Watching from LG v60 L-51A docomo edition, used this aside with A54 as dailies. But there's this on v60 makes me more feeling premium using it.
It's still a good phone till this day.. Had it rooted via magisk and remove bloatwares.
Too bad the software still stuck on android 12 (docomo), Most lg apps are no service so themes and add ons are gone.
And no play protect, so too bad if wanted to install few apps.
For me, if only they able to lease the source before closing LG mobile... It might have few custom roms made by now. 😢
anyone else just watches these videos to check out his anime wallpapers ?
also, petition to force him to put link to the wallpaper in the description.
The Donut cap😊 A collab of some sort with Donut would be awesome!!
V60 owner since release and still daily it. 0/month through att, dualscreen case free from lgs promo. Of which the g8x and velvet both had dualscreen cases but the g8x only pulled power from the usbc port, video was wireless.
My biggest issue is the usb c port failing overtime from taking the phone in and out of the dualscreen case causing the phone to not only fail to connect to the second screen but not charge over a cable at all. Simple enough to replace but still that shouldnt have been an issue. For about a year I went wireless charging only before finally replacing the port.
Love the microsd card slot and the headphone jack. And the v60 was one of the first phones to have 8k30/4k60 video recording. Would get ~12 hours sot new and still get 8 hours 3.5 years later. Still does everything I need with no issue and see no reason to upgrade yet. 865g/8 gb ram is still more than caapable and the 128gb of storage is bolstered by my 512gb sd card, too bad the 256gb variant was never released state side or the black variant sold by docomo.
Nice video on one of my favorote devices but definitely missed some points.
Forgot to mention the V60 and dualscreen support wacom styluses (styli?)
i wish any company or even lg makes a phone like this moving forward coz folding phones still isn’t the best when it comes to the screen plus this is more cost efficient, sturdier, and aesthetically pleasing.
Yeah, you missed a MASSIVE secret feature of the V60 that's not advertised anywhere, and I accidentally stumbled across it while looking to increase touch sensitivity, that's AES support. Also that AES support extends to the second screen as well. Have no clue why LG didn't advertise Wacom AES support.
Look very good tbh
Is it super out of date it’s only 2 years old but since they left the market did it get updates I’d like to grab one as a second phone
Another trip down the memory lane
The V60 dual screen would work as a kind of DS... Maybe?
I had one and liked it, it was heavy but I eventually sold it for something a little lighter
I have a G8X with the dual screen case. Great phone
I have an lg velvet. I am looking to buy the dual screen case for it. It is a Verizon model if that helps.
LG deserves to come back. They owe the consumers another chance.
AGREED! They always had great phones. I started with the mytouch. Still have it Lol lol
have you tried the screen case with another phone that fits in it? I'm curious if it is just an HDMI connection, and the V60 has special software to handle it. if it is just an HDMI, a samsung phone could use dex on it. Not that it'd be good, but it'd be possible. With a wireless mouse you dont need the screen as a trackpad. It could turn any samsung that fits in it into dual screen, potentially.
My gf had this phone. She loved this phone. The problem with this phone is that the screens break wi5hout any real reason. The outside screen cracked and the back of thr phone cracked. I replaced one screen and it cracked again. It's like normal carry vibrations were enough to damage it.
The phone itself was great just more delicate than it should have been.
i got the lg g8x with dual screen love that phone
