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.

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.
@mistamaog4 жыл бұрын
@@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 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.

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.

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 KZbin 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, KZbin, 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!
