The LG V60 ThinQ phone is a 5G phone that has a beautiful 6.8-inch screen, an attractive design and good specifications.

The LG V60, whose official name is LG V60 ThinQ 5G, is the new flagship phone of the South Korean company that although it is ahead of the LG G9 that was expected for the first half of the year, integrates many of the expected novelties of that cell phone, including a Snapdragon 865 processor, a large 5,000mAh battery, OLED display and the ability to record 8K video.
The LG V60 cell phone is also compatible with wireless charging (Qi), it has a fingerprint reader integrated in the screen, water resistance with IP68 certification and it runs Android 10. With these characteristics, the LG V60 ThinQ 5G comes to stand up to the Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus and Galaxy S20 Ultra, but the interesting thing is that LG says that it will not only be cheaper in most markets, but also comes with a secondary screen like that of the LG G8X that extends its operation to offer something similar to what folding phones like the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X offer.

LG V60 ThinQ 5G: A 5G cell phone cheaper than the Galaxy …

Design: Elegant and similar to the Galaxy S10 Plus LG V60 ThinQ 5G cell phone has a design very similar to that of the LG G8 and G8X, including a relatively flat front and back and a metal frame that makes it more resistant.The LG V60 even maintains the traditional headphone jack (3.5mm) to make it one of the few flagship phones, along with the Sony Xperia 1 II to have this feature in 2020. In addition, LG continues to integrate a hi-fi amplifier to deliver very good quality Sound through traditional earphones. This LG cell phone also supports wireless charging, is waterproof with IP68 certification (the secondary display is not waterproof) and has a microSD card slot. The back of the LG V60 is It looks a lot like what the Galaxy S10 Plus was.

The interesting thing is that the back of the LG V60 closely resembles that of the Galaxy S10 Plus, as it is mainly made up of a horizontal line where the cameras are located. On the other hand, I really like that LG also wants to look a little more than elegance than usual, because for example in the blue color model (it will also be available in white color), the metal frame has a gold tone (very light) that makes it feel more premium and that color also appears on the edge of the rear cameras module.
The LG V60 feels good in hand despite having a 6.8-inch OLED screen with Full HD + resolution. However, it is clear that it is a large cell phone that is not very easy to control with one hand and could be too big for many. Headphone port and high-fidelity sound LG does not give up and continues to offer a traditional input for headphones (3.5 mm) something that many manufacturers have already been removing from their cell phones, including Samsung with their Galaxy S20. In addition, the LG V60 still integrates a Quad Dac that serves as an amplifier to improve the sound quality of songs so that they sound closer to the high fidelity that many want. LG told us, however, that that amplification hasn’t changed from the previous generation of its flagship phone. The improvement comes mainly through artificial intelligence that LG has implemented in its televisions to analyze millions of sound examples to automatically adjust the best sound profile. LG continues to bet on the traditional headphone jack (3.5mm).

Two screens: As a cheap folding phone In the United States and in other countries the LG V60 will be sold mainly accompanied by a secondary screen (Dual Screen) that offers exactly the same quality as the main screen. What’s more, the secondary display has an eyebrow as the main display, but it doesn’t have a built-in camera there. Although this is odd, LG says it’s simply to offer symmetry between the two displays and to make the experience the same no matter which display The secondary screen works like that of the LG G8X, so you can place it on the back of the phone if you do not want to use it or adjust it at all angles so that it also serves as a support for the phone.The LG V60 comes with the screen free high school, at least initially.

Also, the functions are maintained. With this, you can extend the function of apps, have two apps open at the same time or you can simply watch a video while you can browse, be on Facebook or browse a Web page. This means that you can place video game controls on the lower screen while at the top you can see what happens in the game, or you can simply have a Chrome window open on each screen. Cameras: 8K video, 3D photos and more to what the Galaxy S20 offers, the LG V60 places a lot of emphasis on the importance of its cameras. The LG V60 allows recording 8K video (like Samsung cell phones); It has an impressive 64 megapixel main sensor and incorporates new features. Among these, the possibility of taking 3D photos for Facebook stands out, which you can then share directly from the cell phone and without having to modify them, because 3D photos are simply a filter in the camera app. Also, the LG V60 brings a new function called Voice Bokeh that prioritizes people’s voices in front of the camera, while reducing ambient noise. See below for some of the photos I took with a pre-production unit of the LG V60. Large battery: 5,000mAh. The LG V60 has a 5,000mAh battery, the same capacity that we see in the Galaxy S20 Ultra. With this and its Full HD + screen, the phone should offer a very good battery life, but until we test it in detail we will not know for sure. The LG V60 also has Quick Charge 4 as the fast charging methodology, so with the adapter you find in your box you could charge the phone to 25 watts like Samsung phones, a curious fact that LG revealed Or is that for the moment the battery limit, at least in the United States, is 5,000mAh according to rules established by the government to differentiate a cell phone from a tablet and other larger devices. LG Pay The LG V60 integrates the new payment system of the company that is one of the newest in the United States, but it differs in the same way as Samsung Pay does by not only being compatible with NFC, but also with payment terminals that do not have this technology by making people think that You have swiped the card when sending magnetic slings. In this way, the compatibility offered by LG Pay is superior to that offered by Apple Pay and Google Pay.
