Third-party reviews

What customers like about LG V60 ThinQ 5G (8GB + 128GB)

  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting one to two days with regular use and performing very well in battery tests.
  • Inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack with a 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC, highly valued by audiophiles.
  • Strong performance with the Snapdragon 865 processor, capable of handling demanding tasks and multitasking.
  • The optional Dual Screen accessory is useful for productivity and gaming, providing a unique dual-display experience.
  • Good camera performance in optimal conditions, with natural color reproduction, 64MP photo capabilities, and 8K video recording.
  • Solid and premium build quality with IP68 water and dust resistance.
  • Expandable storage via a microSD card slot.
  • Excellent call quality and loud, clear stereo speakers.
  • Strong value proposition as a powerful flagship alternative at a lower price point than competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S20+.
  • Excellent haptic feedback motor.

What customers don't like about LG V60 ThinQ 5G (8GB + 128GB)

  • The USB-C charging port is a very common point of failure and often develops issues over time.
  • Dated software experience with an aging LG UX skin on Android 10 (or later updates), with carriers often delaying OS updates.
  • The 60Hz display refresh rate is considered a generation behind competitors' 90Hz or 120Hz screens.
  • Large and heavy physical size, making one-handed use nearly impossible, especially with the Dual Screen case attached.
  • The in-display fingerprint sensor is unreliable and has poor accuracy according to many users.
  • Camera performance can be inconsistent, with poor low-light capabilities on the ultrawide lens and mediocre zoom quality due to the lack of a telephoto lens.
  • The Dual Screen case is bulky, adds significant weight, and some apps (including popular third-party ones) do not fully support the dual-screen functionality.
  • Durability is a concern, with the phone's glass back proving fragile in drop tests.
  • Lack of multi-band 5G support across all carriers (varies by carrier model).

Verdict

The LG V60 ThinQ 5G, released in 2020, is a multimedia powerhouse featuring the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, a generous 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal UFS 2.0 storage, expandable via microSDXC. Its standout features include a large 6.8-inch P-OLED display, a versatile triple-camera system capable of 8K video recording, and a substantial 5000mAh battery that provides excellent endurance. A key advantage is its robust audio setup, featuring a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, a rarity in modern flagships. The primary drawback is its significant weight and size, which some users find cumbersome, and it was only guaranteed a limited number of major Android software updates following its release.
