LG V60 ThinQ 5G

Overview

Hands on: LG isn't blowing anyone away with stellar design or features, but it goes toe-to-toe with Samsung in many ways and does it at a discount. And it includes a second screen accessory at the same time.

The LG V60 ThinQ has not got an official UK release, so getting hold of one is a little tricky. Still, if one is available in your region, then it can prove cheaper than the Galaxy S20 Ultra, especially in the States where the price is $950. For that, you get a good phone with a fun Dual Screen add-on, 5G, performance that mostly matches the competition and a strong camera. It does feel like LG needs a bit of reset with its flagship phones though and we might just get that with the LG Velvet.

The LG V60 is a really good phone with a superb display, top performance, and industry-leading battery life. The cameras are best-in-class for video recording on Android, though the device itself is definitely too large.

The V60 is a great phone in many ways, but its $800-$900 peers are simply better. If a headphone jack is all you really want, Google’s Pixel 3A is a great option for under $400 (or wait for the upcoming Pixel 4A). You could also get last year’s LG G8, which I’ve seen dip as low as $400, or wait a few months. The V60 will likely get a few hundred dollars cheaper by this summer.

It should say everything about the V60 being a jack-of-all-trades that I’m ending on stylus support. This phone gives you a ton for $800 — even if you go without the Dual Screen. It’s a blazing performer, battery life might be the best for any phone in 2020 so far, and it’s got terrific headphone audio.

By The Verge on April 17, 2020

All told, the V60 offers solid performance, plus some of the best battery life we’ve seen so far this year, all for less money than competing devices. It’s still a little rough around the edges, but it’s nothing if not a good deal.

The LG V60 ThinQ 5G is a premium phone poised to compete against the Galaxy S20. Though it's a lofty opponent to take on, the LG V60 has a couple of things that make it stand out. One is low tech (a headphone jack) and the other is more advanced: A special Dual Screen case that doubles the size of its display. Though the accessory is nice to have and has a handful of useful tricks, it's definitely not a necessity.

Overall, both phones aren’t the most competitive phones, but they’re still LG’s best phones they have made to date, and are both definitive improvements of the company’s past attempts. Let’s hope the Velvet’s fresh redesign can also be applied to other future LG devices.

The V60 ThinQ offers a solid value for the price, strong performance and great battery life. Unfortunately, LG needs to do better to differentiate its flagship devices from competing products that, while more expensive, also offer more capabilities and higher-end features.

The LG V60 ThinQ 5G. A T-Mobile version of the LG V60 ThinQ 5G arrived yesterday and I am making it my new daily driver. I've tested out a Korean LG V50 and a G8X so I have experiences with LG Dual Screen cover solution. The V60 rises to the top of LG's...

By zdnet.com on March 20, 2020

Hands on: The LG V60 ThinQ is a step in a more modern direction for LG with improvements in the right places though some standard perks, like the telephoto lens, have been dropped. Combine that with the Dual Screen and you have an overlarge phone that’s moderately powerful enough to become a multimedia machine that can watch and play on 5G connectivity. Whether that’s enough to separate the V60 from the pack may come down to its cost, which will convey whether the phone is a shrewdly-priced alternative to expensive foldables or just another flagship phone with a quirky addition.
