Top 5 LG V60 ThinQ CONCERNS (and Unboxing)

[@jvtechtea]

Ok I will unpin this in a little bit after I respond to many of your comments, but I just need to get this off my chest for a sec -- Some of you really need to chill out. If you look past the title and listen to me in this video, I give just as much positivity toward the phone as I do my concerns. And I explained the concept of the 'CONCERNS/COMPLAINTS' pieces at the start of the video -- it's an exploration of the different things you might think of when considering the phone. None of it is hate -- anyone who follows me knows I'm kind of incapable of just bashing a device. I've done complaints videos before and after receiving devices in the past, and this is my attempt to put some structure to the process. 'CONCERNS' is to a HANDS ON, as 'COMPLAINTS' is to a FINAL REVIEW. Anyone who thinks reviewers only bash on LG need to try and remember their history with the brand. I've loved LG devices since the early days back when I was at Android Authority. If anything, the things you constantly hear that are wrong with LG phones are only repeated because they keep coming up in each and every phone. But even if I mention them each and every time, I am always finding what I like and that has never changed. It was even shown in this video! And honestly, if you are going to complain that I "never do this kind of content with other brands", I don't know what else to tell you -- Top 5 Galaxy Z Flip COMPLAINTS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIPYc2hrhNRnn8U Top 5 Galaxy S20 Ultra COMPLAINTS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5DUnpaNgb-Hnck Top 5 iPhone 11 Pro COMPLAINTS (and Unboxing): kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3PQlYyGrtBljqs You're all entitled to your opinions and your -- well, look at that -- COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS. Feel free to express them here, that's the point of the comments section. But I felt a few things needed to be clarified or in some cases, corrected. Anyway, whether you like it or not, I do want to thank you for spending some time watching my video (maybe watch it all the way through before levying assumptions at me?). Enjoy your tea, everybody :)

[@LetsBringThePain]

most people understand because they already know your content but because of many others unfairly bashing LG especially by the sellouts like MKBHD people are too protective sometimes even though you are not the exact target, but this overwhelming unfair negativity towards this feature rich loaded device from LG and this title name is like an example of that and I am part of those overreactors 😁 anyways, keep up the objectivity, especially towards those OEMs that run the sellouts (Samsung and Apple mostly)

Joshua Vergara I don’t even have to watch the whole thing to know that you are going to be absolutely fair, you are going to always point out things that are great and things that we all eventually truly will have concerns about. Every kind of phone has those things. I have purchased every G series up until eight which I skipped. I switched to iPhone. This phone has me the most excited but that doesn’t mean I’m going to pretend it’s perfect. Thank you for keeping up the good work with real content.

It's a benefit not having so many variants. The cost for r&d is carried over to the consumer, along with the factory cost of producing different products. This phone can rival many top flagship phones, and is only $800 base? $900 with the case? To me, unless you need the best camera setup, or you are totally set on the highest quality and fastest refreshing screen, this phone will more than compliment the needs and desires of many users. And come on, it has a case with an extra full size screen built in.

I'm not concerned about the screen just because of the addition of the 5000 mAh battery which should make this phone close to the top endurance champ of the year. Certainly better than some other ultra mega phones.😏

[@jvtechtea]

Oh yeah, I'm sure anyone looking forward to the Quad DAC will already have headphones at the ready. I just think of Samsung and their bundled AKG headphones or even OnePlus with the Bullets (Apple earpods don't count, they're not great...) -- LG used to have Bang and Olufsen as part of their audio push, so it would have been nice to see that again here to really drive the audio quality home

[@GavinMarkable]

@@jvtechtea A different tier of earphones/headphones are required to do justice to the quad dac LG packs in there. The standard in box akg for samsung and the olfusen for LG are a waste and don't do justice to the dac. LG is better off saving that cost and passing it on to us.

High refresh rate doesn't matter to you because you haven't used it.

[@IAmAPhan]

@@minttt_ I've not experienced 120HZ screen. But I've used/been using 90hz on my Pixel4 Xl. Like I said, the trade-off of battery hit for the scrolling smoothness is not worth it. The only way to mitigate it is through having a bigger battery, like the s20 is doing, then it's still at 1080p and that camera quality is typical Samsung, like the S10plus and Note 10plus that I used to own. Simply said, 120hz might be game changing, but only if it comes with a bigger battery and a way better camera.

[@minttt_]

@@IAmAPhan Well, the pixel 4 XL has a small battery . So that should be expected. But, 120hz is a huge upgrade. At least for me. I used to own a note 10 plus, now on my s20 5g with 120hz, it feels like every other phone studders and is laggy.

[@Fujiwara.Takumi1]

Advice at the bottom: It finally nice to see people not bashing LG. It's touching to see people finally recognizing that LG is the only company listening to consumers. The company that pioneered new screen resolution, aspect ratio. They set the bar in phone photography, Headphone audio and the size of the screen to body ratio. The V60 is the ultimate phone with that amazing price. If you are concern about the dual screen then you can wait for the G9/G9X/G9S whichever it'll be. The G9 will definitely come with an improved dual screen and maybe even QHD for both screens(for higher price ofc)

[@MegaMan01]

Well, I have to disagree. He raised some very legitimate concerns. It's not his fault that LG don't seem to understand that consumers don't want to buy bricks. Surely it's possible to design a more refined solution to attach the second screen to keep it as compact as possible. They have some nice ideas and cool features, but they tend to flop on the basic implementation. Granted this is still a good phone that packs some solid features but it could easily have been a fantastic device with a thinner profile, higher resolution screen with higher refresh, telephoto lens, wider angle selfie camera and a nicer notifications solution on the front of the dual screen case. It's 2020; they have to do better if they want to be a big player.

It is a great deal! I cut a small portion of my spec rundown from the video because it was getting a little too long at that point, but I did say that the price is totally a highlight of the phone.

Gonna buy this phone straight away. This thing is fire. I don't need high refresh rate, nor high res screen, not 100x zoom, and at that price its fair to ignore those gimmicks. In our day to day life one doesn't even even care of such features. I mean most of the consumers. In one review i saw that high refresh rate works only when the screen resolution is at 1080. So for gaming also it makes no sense. The manual mode on LG is ultimate, The quad dac? That thing is the best feature. Dual screen would work fantastic with games, emails, dual apps. The newer addition or innovation I loved is the VOICE BOKEH, where you can vlog with utter clarity and not to forget 8k recording. This phone is a beast.

A downside on T-Mobile is you can only get the bundle in the blue color (as of March 20th) and I don’t see a way to purchase the Dual Screen separately should you choose the Classy White color model. I also saw a Dual Screen module in white floating around the webs. Perhaps it will be a bundle available at a later time if you choose the black doesn’t suit you. Also, Josh, the magnetic dongle can be purchased from B&H for around $8. So if you misplace it. So it’s fairly inexpensive to replace.

[@musicalala]

Quad Dac and Creator features already offsets the 5 concerns. Having a handheld killer audio system is kind of a big deal. A lot of LG users feel it's a dealbreaker that most brands with exception of Sony Xperia 3 III and was it Xiaomi? do not have Quad DAC. Blutooth only is not progress. If it sounded as good as a QUAD DAC then it would be progress.Just like people saying updates to os is a dealbreaker with LG. No Quad DAC is unacceptable for a flagship phone. LG Quad DAC models sound as good as my $6k home system.

I like the fact that LG has been making different kind of approach to the next generation of smartphone. When I try to watch some videos on my smartphone, for ex. when I eat, I always have to find something to make sure it doesn't fall or slip away. Having a dual screen like this smartphone would be a plus for me, I could use it like a pc, watching a video while I'm eating without any worries that it will slip away. This is just a simpler example of what I could do with this implementation. I really hope you are not gonna watch series, movies etc. like you just showed in your video because I don't think that they wanted to use in that way. PS sorry for my English I live in Italy and I like your videos so I just wanted to share my thoughts on this interesting device. I really hope you are gonna use this device for multitasking and try to learn more about this approach, for ex. while playing videogames, watching a video and replying to an email or a message etc.

Question: I'm considering switching from an LG G6 to the V60, but In my area, Orange County California, T-Mobile stores don't have a demo of the V60 yet and other stores seem to be closed because of the Coronavirus, therefore I can't see for myself what it's like. But the reason I would switch up from the G6 is for a larger more clear picture. But when I look at the comparison of the two PhoneArena it shows the V60 as having less resolution than the G6. So, is it really that much more noticeable? Am I getting a bigger screen with less clarity so I'd be breaking even in that regard on the switch out? Because I'm thinking there's no reason to switch to a bigger screen if the picture clarity is "less than" or the same as. In that case I might as well just stay where I'm at.

[@jacobdrj101]

I understand that not having the highest resolution panel(s) on a device so large and so expensive is a bit of a turnoff, but it isn't a concern for me: 1080p is just fine for a phone... If it makes the dual screen experience consistent to have a lower resolution, I'll take it... The full screen video thing isn't a concern for me either when most content is wide screen optimized... It should be viewed on just 1 screen... HDR and high referesh rates are important to me, especially at this price bracket... I understand why this may not have been implemented (cost and probably performance consistency over both displays) but this would be a bigger concern... We should at least have the option for high referesh rates... My biggest concern with LG (as a owner of a G5, V20 and formerly a G4) is security updates... I don't care so much about OS updates, but security updates (or the lack thereof) are, for me and for people I recommend devices to, a total deal breaker... My current daily driver is an unlocked US Note 8, and I have been pleasantly surprised at the super quick security patches... My wife has a Pixel 3a, and obviously she will get those updates, at least for a couple years... LG? My old V20 (Unlocked dual SIM) eventually got a newer OS, but the last security patch is 9 months old... That was a flagship... And that took forever to roll out... That doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies... I'm told, much like Moto, they are better now... But it will take time for me to see reviews and trust LG long term security support from them again...

@@jvtechtea i also believe that there is still a market for smaller devices and im still bummed that the only option for a small phone is to get last years s10e or the xperia 5 which was so popular i missed its launch and thought it never got to market... i agree that lg shouldve made a smaller phone as well. heres to hope their next g series phone wont be a brick, im sure more people would give lg a chance. not gonna lie, a smaller dual screen phone is a pretty neat idea. And thanks for answering the comments, not overyone wants or has the time to do that.

My current phone the v20 has removable battery. The v30 does too. So probably why they have that warning. I think most who have v30 are just now thinking of upgrading. My v20 is only now starting to slow down after all these years!

It didn't have multi item clip tray, voice dictation on pixel 4 was terrible, home os buttons weren't as customizable as LG allows, terrible battery life.

[@geoffreycoar2762]

I just order mine and I'm waiting to give this phone a try. I've had other LG phones and I'm the type of person who likes to try not only the best new phones but the different new phones. This LG V60 reminds me of the Nokia 7500 communicator I had back in the 90's. Although it didn't have dual screen you could use that phone in similar fashion like the V60. From a price standpoint its hard to believe this how the prices of phones are going through the roof,this phone is priced under $1,000.00 and lately thats cheap for me lol. I hope this phone is worth the experience.

I don’t think you bash LG. I just think you are generally a negative person. That’s the honest truth based on your reviews. You focus more on what a device COULD HAVE done better rather than what it does well. I watched your video after a long time and... just confirmed my original thoughts on your reviews. No hating, just raw honesty.

[@badger4782]

A problem with the LG V60 that I've experienced and learned is common is that it mutes itself when you're on a phone call and using the speaker. Other person asks "are you still there?" Quickly scramble to take it off of speaker will unmute it, or they'll hang up on you thinking the call was dropped. Not good. I'm considering returning it unless LG fixes this bug. I have TMobile, but its discussed a lot on the Verizon community, and even reported at the LG website.

[@stiffy55channel77]

Everybody keeps knocking lg for not falling in line with everyone else, but honestly thats why I keep buying them. Better battery, headphone jack, more quality accessories for the phone (much rather have a second screen than a stylus) and my lgs last until I want to upgrade. Every samsung or motorola I have had the battery craps out on my 1 year in and then especially with samsung the device starts lagging. Lg is different and everyone always ask me what phone it is im using because mine is usually the only one still working after a full day away from a charger.

[@DarkPortall]

they say the battery is non-remvable battery because this battery is *permeanent* with most phones, you can open up your phone with a lot of heat, and replace the battery. you can't do this with this one.

There non removable sticker is because these battery is heavily glued and not light glued and in service shop changeable like samsung s10 and older, newer samsungs do it also

You mentioned the front cam...Over the years, I've noticed some resolutions to be "awkward" as in not quite right. 10mp seems to be one. My suspicion is how they interact with a display.

thats true and for the most part criticism regarding lg is completely missing the mark. size is good, most phones are big and bulky and i still dont know what the hell samsung is sniffing with the ultra. display will be good, ive used phones with displays with around 400 ppi and they are very sharp and still look great. no reason to get the qhd crap, noone's gonna look into their phone counting pixels, heck, even iphones still got 720p displays. the dual screen case is one of a kind and the fact that you arent forced into a dual screen smartphone like what microsoft is doing is great, it will definitely be helpful to some people. the price is better than the s20 and 11 pro and lg phones tend to drop in price heavily and fast so you could be able to get a great deal on a great smartphone, but its not samsung or apple so theres got to be something wrong with it right?

The bezels is actually not a concern, but a useful feature. A screen with near zero bezels or curved sides is difficult to use with a screen case. A majority of people use a case on their phones. The cases made for phones with curved sides provides much less protection from drops.

[@royweissman5295]

It's because they had the last flagship with a removable battery. The V20 had a 3500 removable. Huge for 2017. They used to provide Bang & Olufsen headphones with the device upgradeable to the B&O See made for the V20. The V60 is the best A/V phone though not as good as the V20 was.

Just looks better without the notch. Get one people. Great Phone! So glad it has a headphone jack... No headphones? Who doesn't have a million sets of wired headphones in their possession???

[@TellurdogIsayhi]

I was going to pick this phone up today, but I may hold off for a couple of weeks just to let real world reviews come in. My other choice was a pixel 4XL, but the battery is way too small. The price is great (especially from tmobile, I’m glad I don’t have to pay for the stupid second display thing seeing as that would’ve likely just got tossed in the trash). The battery size is great, 1080p display is perfect for me (though the pixel density is a bit low). I like the headphone jack. Curious how battery life will do in real world, and I’ve also never used LG’s software so I was probably just gonna throw a pixel launcher and icon pack on it and basically try to get it as “stock” as possible. I definitely don’t like the size though, 6.2-6.3 inches is as big as I want, i usually like smaller ish phones. Really curious to see how the camera performs, especially when shooting in RAW.

[@BlackCeII]

I returned my Pixel 4 XL, and my LG V60 is in the mail! RAW android was missing a ton of features that I depend on from LG. Pixel could only have the 3 home buttons at the bottom, back, show running apps and show desktop. LG allows up to 5. One I use drops down the notifications from the top, and another tap of that button closes it. On the Pixel 4, I kept having to use a 2nd hand to bring down notifications and close, and the screen was SMALL. Also on LG home buttons that I use is for screenshot which quickly caps whatever is onscreen and I can crop it right then. On the pixel, I had to press and hold power button for ~1 sec, the stream i was watching kept playing, so i could never cap what i was going for, the screenshot had to open in a separate app, then cropping in yet another app. Terrible. Voice dictation on pixel 4 was awful. On LG's, when the mic is triggered, if it mis-hears a word, hitting backspace deletes the whole late word, and the mic keeps listening, so you just keep on dictating. On Pixel 4, hitting backspace turned OFF the mic, and would only delete backwards one character at a time, took forever to dictate and edit emails and texts. LG's come with a great quick memo that can type up what is onscreen from a screenshot, or AI camera. And when you copy something to the clipboard, it saves the last 20 things you copied to a little clip tray. Pixel 4? JUST ONE Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V at a time. Terrible. If I wanted to copy an article URL and a snippet paragraph, i had to bounce back and forth between apps a few times. lame. Pixel 4 XL battery life was WORSE then my HEAVILY used LG G6 from ~2.5 years ago? And that's AFTER I turned of 90hz, and a bunch of other things. Also, the LG alarm clock can be set for ANY date and time!!! Pixer 4? Only any time...within the next 24 hrs! Otherwise, you have to load Google Calendar and create an entry (way more steps). These are just a FEW of the reasons I can think of 3 months later why I promptly returned my Pixel 4 xl. LG is killing it. Samsungs OS overlay and voice assistant are clumsy and superfluous. LG has just the right amount. BTW, if you get an LG V60, I will hapilly buy your 2nd screen from you to have a backup one lol Battery life on the V60 without the 2nd screen is close to 24 hrs! If you like a smaller device, the LG G8 is comparably spec'd, even cheaper! And a bit smaller. Cheers!

[@TellurdogIsayhi]

BlackCell22 damn man, super helpful! Once tmobile opens back up after this virus thing passes is likely when I’ll pick it up. The main things I’m gonna miss by not going the pixel route is the camera, squeeze feature (though the V60 does have the assistant button, so that’s not a huge miss.), the new assistant, and the smaller screen size (I don’t really like phones over 6.3 inches or so. My iPhone XR is too damn big as is.)

[@BlackCeII]

@@TellurdogIsayhi I have T-Mobile too. The other reason I got the pixel for was because I wanted to switch to Google fi, which uses 3 wireless providers and seamlessly switches between them to find the best signal. I don't have any reception where I work, and was hoping this would solve that. T-Mobile still has better reception at home and work then Google fi did and Google fi ended up using T-Mobile most of the time. I also have veteran discount and pay 65 bucks a month for unlimited everything including tethering. TMobile killing it as well. Not to mention it with the Jump program, you can upgrade your phone a couple times a year whenever you want, just go in and have them your last phone and walk out with a new one. BTW, my local T-Mobile store didn't get the V60 in. I ended up sitting on hold and ordering it on Friday at work. It's in the mail. I'm not kidding, I will seriously by your second screen from you if you don't want it! I wouldn't mind having a backup LOL. Let me know and I'll message you LOL. I'm dead serious bro. Hope you like it! Oh, one final thing. I've had nothing but LG's for the past eight years and I've dropped every one of them 50 times each and not a single one of them has broke. The tech 21 case on an LG phone makes it unbreakable and it's a super thin case. Everybody I know has broken screens, but Tech21 is the strongest thinnest case I've ever found

[@scottcline87]

I spend around 10~12 hours a day with earphones on (switching between Shure and campfire iems), so you can say I stay with LG solely because of quad dac and it's sound quality (plus I hate having to charge earphones). My gripe with all other manufacturers is that they took away my freedom to choose between using headphone jack and going wireless, especially when there are clear sound quality disadvantage and other inconveniences of going wireless or using usb-c adapter. If OnePlus or Samsung kept headphone jack and added quad dac, I would definitely consider switching. So yeah, I am stuck with LG.
