The Flagship Phone for Budget Prices - LG V60 ThinQ 5G - Worth it in 2023? (Real World Review) 

I went from an V20 to aV40 to a V60. Still have all of these phones in perfect condition. Honestly not sure what I will do once I am forced to upgrade I've totally gotten every penny I invested into my LGV60. Everyone always complements my photos as an added bonus.

100% worthy even 2025.. I can't ask much for such price.

This is a beast of a phone. I underestimated its potential. Excellent battery life, (2days), pro camera, solid build, amoled screen, excellent haptics, one of the best speakers I've ever heard on a phone. Very underrated phone.

LG flagships still absolutely Blow Away any current device in the audio department. When you combine the quad DAC with those insane microphones and the manual support in the cameras it's a different ballgame. Nevermind expandable storage. The Raw capabilities are simply a bonus. If you have a vehicle with an auxiliary 3.5 Port that quad DAC generates a whole different experience

with a dual screen case...LG V60 is Awesome no need for hype phones...still a futuristic smartphone...

Just got android 13 today. This phone is still the best value as far as phones. And much more qualified reviewers gave complemented LGs cameras for giving photographers and editors a nice raw product to work with. And the DAC pretty much puts it in a class of its own. And that's before we even mention the dual screen capability, which is more valuable than 120 hz refresh rate. Don't like the UI, then put Nova launcher on it and make it your own. Three years later and I personally cannot justify buying another phone. Battery life is still good and the water resistance is still solid. It just won't quit. It's built so well that after 3 years it's still immaculate. A Galaxy or an iPhone or a Pixel would have degraded after three years of constant use. But not this.

I noticed your channel does actual reviews no advertisements, thank you.

My beloved headphone jackand sd card slot with a flagship processor. Don't give a shit about cameras it has which can take occasional pictures and take pictures of documents I am more than happy.

Watching this on my LG V60 😍 8K manual video mode, 4K 60fps selfie cam, sd Card, headphone jack and it doesn't overheat while filming ( i owned a Sony Xperia Pro i before, which was overheating while filming ) absolute beast the LG V60!

The best part is that it received Android 13 (T-Mobile) , has the Quad DAC headphone jack (try it with some quality wired headphones) and the dual screen accessory (a multitasking beast). I've expanded mine to 1tb)... the Huawei or Bamboo pen work really well so kudos for pen support and DEX. Those are the reasons why you buy one (I just finished paying off my carrier). The screen was that resolution to have identical screens for the dual display that don't chew battery. Fingerprint scanner and camera improved significantly with Android 13. Your 64mp pics are great!

Regardless of the phone capabilities of this phone, it's still a good buy to be used as a dedicated audio player. With the SD card I can store large high quality flac files and enjoy music with some nice wired headphones.

find a phone with this specs for a better price u wont the lg v60 is an absolute beast still in 2023 best phone i have ever used

I bought it brand new, even resisting option for Apple & my V60 has stood the test of time & remains a great competitor.

been waiting for you to review this, thank you - Great video

My LGV60 is still running strong. I miss LG phones!

Best phone I've ever owned. No lag, amazing battery life, just perfect.

I have the LG V60...but I got the S22 Ultra back in March 2022...As of February 2023 I decided to move back to my old LG v60 for a few reasons... 1. The LG V60 still has better battery life, I get consistent 8-9 hours screen on time. Compared to the s22 Ultra that gives me 5-6 hours, and thats on FHD+ and 60hz setting. 2. I still prefer photos taken on the V60. The S22 Ultra have to much saturation in colors and dont have Ultra Wide Correction. Also shutter lag on the S22 Ultra is anoying and its an expensive phone to have that problem. 3. The V60 still has more powerful speakers compared to the weaker s22 Ultra. 4. I got a 1TB Sandisk Ultra Pro SD card for cheap that I put in my V60. But using the s22 Ultra for about 11 months then jumping back to the V60, I actually like the more natural colors on the V60. And going down from 1440p screen to a 1080p screen isn't really noticeable to me. So heck yeah...the LG V60 is totally worth it!!!

Fair review. Pros and cons well covered👍

I love LG for the headphone jack and SD card. I am sad that they are out of the game and I am wondering what phone to go for next. That said I've always had issues with the camera being laggy on LG phones, I've had V10, V30 and V60. The gallery app also takes painfully long to load thumbnails and folders. Anyone else having these issues?

Still using my LG v60, love it! Android 13, option to use a second screen as a foldable, fantastic audio with ess sabre Quad DAC, 3.5mm headphone socket, aptx adaptive, sd card slot... As well as wireless earbuds, I'm using sennheiser hd 560s over ears and they sound great with my v60.

I got the blue color of Verizon version a month ago after i traded my Sony Xperia 1. I like this so much because it has better performance, UI experience and battery life. And it has bigger screen than Xperia 1.

Bought in 2018 and still kicking a55 in 2023! Best phone I ever had. Not sure why LG quit making the phones. They were gaining popularity right on the same time they're quitting. Even my wife's Velvet is still a working like new.

One of the best device I have ever owned.bought this one for hi res music

Excuse me, is the unit you are reviewing an original factory unit or a refurbished unit? i want original lg v60 phone But nowadays that can be bought only products that have been repaired to make them look like new. I would like to know if the performance is similar or not. If you want a model v60 unboxing 1 or 2 hands from the factory not repaired Where can I buy it? give me some advice

This was the best budget flagship of 2020 and still is a very very capable fone for the price there is still no competition now that it's got android 12 and 13 incoming guaranteed.

thanks for the video!

Just bought a lg v60 sealed in the box from Korea. I had the v 20, the v 30, and many blue moons ago. For the quad dacs, so folks, my plan now, as soon as they arrive is to ride off into the sunset on my pygmy pony and a pair of Bowers & Wilkins p7, singing along to my favorite songs till the quad dacs fall out and give their last ones and zeros (sniff). Great video, my man. You just got yourself another subscriber. Take care, everyone.

I had the V20, Velvet, and this phone looks like it slaps too. I think I found my next camera.

Defiantly going to get this phone. I need a aux jack to listen to my truck radio. I drive a company semi truck and the only way to play it on the radio is an aux jack!

Lg​ v60​thinq​ v600tm​ or​ v600am​ or​ v600vm​ what code is it that supports 2 sims? Thank​s​ for​ advice​.

LG V60 ThinQ 5G v600tm or v600vm or v600am what code it's support 2 SIM? Thanks for advice.

I damaged my v60. Insurance sent me a new one but I am having trouble transferring photos to the new phone and Ibsm clueless how to get into the cloud

Earlier today my Google pixel 6 got wet and now half the screen doesn't work. immediately went to Amazon and bought the LG V60 with the dual screen case.

I've bought three of em think about that s22 is in a drawer, and when I went back to the LG if I wasn't home... I've ever been worried about having to upgrade and I've never had such a great phone that ran this great for so long and continue to get such good battery

My LG G8 was defective and LG replaced it with a new V60. Have had it for 3 years and it's been perfect. I use my phone hard. I often charge my phone to 100%, use it plugged-in and the battery life is still superb. I purchased a genuine OEM LG BL-T46 battery for $22, and a USB-C port/board/ribbon for $21...just in case. Installation will cost about $70 when the time comes. That's how much I love this phone. The 865 processor stays cool, never overheats, and is fast. I'm not a gamer so it's just fine for me. The 32-bit Hi-Fi QuadDAC is outrageous. If you use wired headphones, the difference in sound quality is night and day. Oh, good luck trying to find a flagship today with a 3.5mm jack and expandable storage...unless you want to spend $1,000+ on a Sony Xperia. Barring damage, I can easily see using the LG V60 for another 5 years. It's at Android 13 now, so that should be it in terms of updates, although I expect security patches for another 2 years.

I love this phone BUT the charge port is glitching. You have to giggle the USB cord at the port to get it to work. I tried to buy another gently used V60 to replace but there were a ton of reviews complaining about the charge port. It's a great phone for 2.5 years but eventually the charge port may malfunction.

The reason that there are bugs a lot is because of the LG skin. If they used vanilla android instead of their LG skins it would’ve been much better.

Love the V60❤❤❤❤ i buy one brand new this year and is so cool and powefull🎉🎉

2024 now is it still worth getting when I get phones I usually root it just to get viper4android any feedback if I should get it?

Im using v60 now.. And its really good.. The camera perform better than midrange phone right now

Nobody gives thumbs-down anymore, so I won't either. I can't tell whether this review was positive or negative. The V60 has been, and still is an awesome phone!

does it stil better than any midranger like poco f5? hhere in the philippines ? skeptical about battery and longetivity .

The LG V60 has Android 13 now even though LG stopped making phones. 6:07 the LG V60 was NEVER a $1k phone. It came out with a $899 price tag with a dual-screen case.

This is a all rounder phone! And its a more than different story when used by a dual screen..its a beast!!!

I wish sony had picked up that quad dac in their phones. But which has the better dac, lg v60 or the new walkman

can it take 4k 60fps video with ultra wide lens?

When it comes to phones, i barely care about the camera, it's not a must have for me, i'm all about audio, performance, and battery. Cameras don't mean anything to me, this phone is badass tho

Still using this with the dual screen

Not to mention (because it wasn't) the Dual Screen case!! I love my V60 Dual Screen so much that I just bought another one, new old stock! I'll be spreading the love with my old one, replacing the battery and giving it to family.

Yes super worth it due to a13 updates. The battery is insane good for the old flags. But screen is greenish on default settings

Am using an LG V60 however let's be clear here, Nokia N9 with meego OS was the 1st phone with fouble tap to wake so yeah let's not forget that!!

Watching with my lgv50

Still a great phone to have, it's still a better phone, then most phones today. It's my daily driver. Just wish it had a better camera.

I have purchased lg v60 about 200 dollar. Its very good for the price. Im satisfied

I have the lg v30+ and its starting to fail it switches off rarely and i can only turn it on by force restarting it. Its becoming very slow and buggy what current gen phone should i get that can compare to the lg v30 i liked the small customisable settings and the private gallery vault and repairability of the v30 plus many other things about it Should i just get an lg v60

Where can I find a not used global version of LG v60 with dual screen included?

The charges speeds are quite terrible at 25 watts actually feels like 15, LOL I do have a LG v60 apparently I refresh rates are deal breakers for ones who choose to purchase phones but I wonder how it would be if no phones had high refresh rates in my honest opinion that's very Petty not to choose a device because it doesn't have a high refresh rate if the phone performed exceptionally well without it

Probably the reason why isn't charging at 25w is because the lg sistem has an option called optimized charger. If it is on, it won't let pass all the voltage of the charger to care battery life. I got android 13 and they fix the bugs you were talking when playing and battery life is better than a lot of phones.

That phone had everything powerful chip LED display good camera IP68 headphone jack

I'm on my second charging port but i don't wish to lose my sd card feature and i still enjoy using my dual screen occasionally which is what is damaging the port i think. I am an LG fan and i hate they are not in the phone game any more.

You change the back cover to white? Its blue / gold or white silver .👌🏻

bought one for 90$ in great shape off ebay to use as an emulator machine; screens in great shape and should be good to go

Bought this today bnew at a random retail store here in japan for ¥68k.

The speakers do not vibrate at max volume.

LG v60 2021-2025 ideal for Filmmaker 1. 8K Manual mode. 2. 8K 26fps 3. 8K 60mps 4. 8K HDR10+ 5. 8K Image Stabilization. 6. 8K 32bit HI-FI audio 6a. USB support while videoing 6b. Head jack 7. 8K 4K rear cameras 8. Micro SD support up to 2tb 9. 4K 60fps HDR10+ rear+ Front Camera 10. Pen tool 11. Dual screen option 12. 100-150$ price tag. 13. Android 13 fast finger print, clear wide shot and loud sound update. To my knowledge, there isn't any expensive smartphone surpasses the LG V60 yet - 2023.

Problem with uses phones is finding one with a solid battery or a battery replacement

The phone that has 4 or 5 names but only needs 3 or 5 letters🤣 btw, watching this on my LG V60 that I got a few days ago. Thanks for the review

2:29 the reason the phone vibrates it's because it uses the screen as a speaker Its called Crystal Sound OLED It's legit when you're in loud place and you can literally put your phone next your ear and just transfer the vibrations from the phone to eardrum.

Just got another security update 2 days ago.

Bought the phone brand new and I have learned how to replace components and finally the screen broke even that looks easy to replace I really have enjoyed that having this phone I just wish that the duel screen feature had last on It very cheesy

I love my v60 still and I can't find anything that I like better(I tried the Sony 1V and returned it) :(

The good: 5g, fast processing, screen colors are delightful, amazing audio via headphone cable, sd card, stable operating system. The bad: heavy really heavy, battery does not charge fast enough, drains quick just by reading or browsing the Internet, the bezel can be annoying. I would still buy another, is worth it but for $125 no more than that.

Finally had to give up on my V60...😩. Charge port and battery both shot. Sad day. Stepped down to a Pixel 8. And that's a big step down.

This is great gonna get！

I never used any LG flagships yet I miss them.

"The reason you want to buy this phone" Come on, my LGv20 just died yesterday, I didn't need the reminder so soon while I'm looking for an alternative... :P

I think you underestimate this phone, not a real good review for me, this is a great phone for the price!

❤LG phones .. There down fall was the lack of software updates.. They built solid phone's, with a lot of features...

It will become pointless?! You think because software updates stop a phone is dead? Well, it's not. I will probably use my V60 for years to come. I think the cameras are pretty nice. The time of flight camera is used for portrait mode. Think of it as an advanced depth sensor. Also, I have a 120 hertz phone. While this phone doesn't feel quite that smooth, it seems like a 90 hertz phone to me because of how fluid things move. I think with this phone, you just don't get it. You have a bar of gold in your possession.

I think that he does not LG phones. Has an LG V60 for 3 years, have Android 13 on the phone, and replaced the battery to keep it going for a few more years. Forget the stats, the OLED display blows other flagship phones away. And how long does Apple, and the rest have support for? Not many years!

For a audio file its the best with dual hifi dacs

Im on it but it is not good with usb cord s

LG delivered The best Audio than any other company

The point of this phone is the audio jack. The dac is worth this phones price ten fold

So, are you selling the V60 you used to make this review video?

Still the best smartphone ever made in my opinion.

There is only one thing which Im going to replace in my live battery in LG V600EA. 😂

Great phone the back is pretty frail tho so keep it in a good case.

The lg v30 had face id wtf

With all that room to spare, it kind of pisses me off that LG didn't position those speakers symmetrically so they give out a properly balanced stereo sound, like a lot of MFG's make their phones. Like I believe they did with the Velvet, which is a thing of beauty, to have left and right channel speakers facing you. With such an enormous and long screen, the stereo separation would have been SUPERB and the sound stage, even 3D effects would have sounded AMAZING! But no, they didn't. Mind you, V60 is to date the MOST high end tech for the money, by FAR. It tops my list with the best yet Quad DaC, insane battery life, camera still holds its own against even the latest what iPhone, Samsung, Pixel, etc have to offer, it actually has FULL ACTIVE STYLUS SUPPORT and a array of stylus tools and functions similar to Samsung Note, which totally justifies the huge screen imo, has the MIL 810G rating for durability (I don't expect it to not shatter as easily as any other GLASS phone lol, but it does perform WASTLY better in sub zero/high temps that affect most other phones to a greater extent especially in sub zero temps), has SD card support naturally, which is CRUCIAL if you're truly going to use that amazing camera often, especially for 4K@60, 8K@30 video, etc. I'm so babbly, that's because I'm definitely going to get this monster phone. The least like thing about it to me is the design, its quite gastly looking.

not bad but actually a pretty good you forgot about velvet version lg velvet g9 similar than this one

Just sold my v60, instant sellers remorse.

v30 was the best of them... still working...

dude sounds like a normal guy reviewing things and not a tech guy reviewing things. u wont notice the difference between 60 and 90 unless its 60 vs 120 refresh rate. games will stay at 60 most of the time. battery is superb charging is sht. 22w is slow for a 2 day battery theres no fix for that . biggest upside of this phone is basically power vs price. 3/4 of the price of a flagship. this is a must buy.

I bought this phone explicity because of the Quad DAC

And then developer settings you can switch to punch hole... Have you seen the new I phones

It's 125$ on ebay network unlocked

Legit has minimal bezels lol not thick by any means.

Android 13 just came out for the lg

I love the V60 thinq 5g i see nth wrong it it i mean like its an old phone
