LG V60 ThinQ review

The LG V60 ThinQ has not got an official UK release, so getting hold of one is a little tricky. Still, if one is available in your region, then it can prove cheaper than the Galaxy S20 Ultra, especially in the States where the price is $950. For that, you get a good phone with a fun Dual Screen add-on, 5G, performance that mostly matches the competition and a strong camera.

There is a lot that this phone gets right. It’s comfortable in the hand, the software works well, the display is nice, it has a headphone jack, the build quality is top notch, the cameras work well for 99% of things, and the list goes on. For those who need a dual screen, this is one to check out for sure.

Overall, the V60 is a good device that makes improvements over LG’s previous Dual Screen device, the G8X ThinQ. The V60 makes a great alternative to the Galaxy S20 series (which starts at $1,319 CAD) or the iPhone 11 Pro (which starts from $1,379 CAD).

The V60 ThinQ sports flagship specs like a 5,000mAh battery, a Snapdragon 865 chipset and two screens. After using both the G8X ThinQ and now the V60 ThinQ, I’ve grown to really like the secondary screen, and though it’s not a true foldable display, the phone offers a lot in the way of multi-tasking. If you’re looking for a phone with a solid battery, speedy performance and two screens, the V60 ThinQ is the choice pick.

Pandemics are weird. The things that seemed important a few months ago, like pocketable phones with cute little displays, aren’t quite as appealing anymore. Needs and wants change, and right now — a phone that can give me two large, fully independent and functioning displays without having to switch back and forth between two apps on a single screen seems like a no-brainer. With the Dual Screen case installed on the LG V60 ThinQ, I feel like I am functioning at a more efficient level than normal. Right now, that’s priceless.

The LG V60 ThinQ 5G is a great phone for quarantine because it’s so versatile. It’s also the best smartphone we’ve seen from LG in the past few years and it’s a pretty good value. However, it’s somewhat held back by its camera, and its large size means that it’s not for everyone.

Do you need two screens? Nope. All of us can do virtually any mobile computing task on one slab of glass. You can do almost anything on the V60 too even without the case. The add-on experience — the option to add a secondary screen, use your wired headphones, as well as a third party stylus — plus its top of the line specs, are things that you will not get from any other phone. What you’re buying when you get the LG V60, is the choice to take your multitasking, productivity, and entertainment to another level whenever you want to.

If you like to keep up with the latest and best products, the LG V60 should be on your list. It ticks all of the important boxes and competes with the other flagship phones on the market, and it does so at a price that’s cheaper than others. As much as I don’t care for the UI and pre-installed apps, I can uninstall and make adjustments. Performance-wise it’s as good as anything else I’ve tested in the past year. The Dual Screen might be an unnecessary gimmick to some, but I find it very helpful.

This is one of the more affordable Snapdragon 865, 5G equipped phones out there right now. This is a bargain compared to a similarly spec’d Samsung Galaxy S20, so that’s something to seriously consider. Aside from that, the LG V60 is a winner in my opinion especially when you consider all that in comes with at that price point.

Less

The LG V60 isn't the right phone for everyone, but if you love having a handset with a ton of screen real estate (to say nothing of what you get from that second display), top-shelf performance, and battery to last for days — and you'd like to have all that without dropping a solid grand on your purchase — this could be right up your alley. A few extra features would help seal the deal, but it's still really easy to find a lot to like here.
