This seems odd, but it allows for the two panels to mirror each other exactly, which actually makes more sense in use. While I like the Dual Screen and it does add a much-needed unique flair to the V60, it’s not something I can keep on all the time. It does feel like LG needs a bit of reset with its flagship phones though and we might just get that with the LG Velvet. The phone’s outstanding feature, cameras-wise, is its ability to capture video at 8K at 24fps (a 7680 x 4320 resolution), matching the Galaxy S20 line, with LG’s ‘Steady Record’ technology on hand to stabilize footage.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. That said, we think 5G usage will have an impact on battery and are evaluating different methods to test its impact.The Dual Screen works like a firm folio case, opening up to reveal a second display with the exact same dimensions as the V60’s screen – plug the phone into the Dual Screen’s USB-C plug and snap it into place, and voila, you have twice the screen real estate. In our battery rundown test, in which we stream HD video over Wi-Fi at full brightness, we got an impressive 11 hours and 58 minutes of rundown time, close to the S20 Ultra's 12 hours and 4 minutes. Here, Android 10 is covered by a gaudy skin with loads of duplicate apps and a generally old-fashioned feel.

Whether it’s a chat conversation, your Twitter feed, or a YouTube/Netflix video you don’t want to pause, the Dual Screen is handy for multitasking, even if it’s just to streamline media consumption. Compared with flagships like the Google Pixel 4 XL and the Samsung Galaxy S20, the LG V60’s camera setup is pretty unimpressive.While the extra screen is the main benefit, the Dual Screen add-on also adds some extra protection to the phone’s display and a handy screen on the front for checking time and notifications.

Inside the LG V60 ThinQ, you’ll find the guts of your typical Android flagship: Snapdragon 865 with 5G modem, 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. What I really like about LG’s camera app is the manual mode, which is both easy to use and packs the ability to shoot some impressive macro shots with manual focus. In terms of video, the V60 ThinQ continues to perform well and packs a four mic array and the ability to capture 8K footage in HDR 10. The V60’s display supports HDR10+ for a bit more clarity in movies and other media, which keeps it more on par with displays on other flagships. The phone loads most of its buttons on the left side, including volume up and down buttons and a Google Assistant button, with the lock button on the right side.This included accessory functions just like it did on the LG V50 and LG G8X, adding a second panel to the device to create a sort of DIY Surface Duo. Keep in mind that to have a perfect coverage, the ideal thing is that the LG V60 ThinQ has all the frequencies for all networks, that are used in United Kingdom, although if the LG V60 ThinQ lacks any of the frequency bands used, it does not mean that it does not work on that network, but coverage could be limited to certain areas. The SIM and microSD slot is at the top, while a USB-C slot sits in the center of the bottom, flanked by a speaker and – yes – a 3. This is a brute of a device that feels bigger than the Galaxy S20 Ultra due to its lack of curves and far more squared-off design. The LG V60 is a decent flagship in its own right, but the detachable Dual Screen paired with it is a novel accessory that may seriously appeal to the multitaskers, gamers, and screen fiends of the world.

Batteries of any device must hold a charge at least 80% of their original capacity or it will be deemed "Faulty". Steven completed his master's degree in journalism in 2016, specializing in investigative and participatory reporting.There’s also an EIS/Steady Record feature that creates less blur, and Steadicam-like digital stabilization available at 1080p. LG believes content creators will get the best use of this, but it will certainly be a nice addition for anyone shooting video. We advise that if you are unsure of the condition or specification of your device, please contact us. With the Dual Screen attached and used consistently, the V60 ThinQ made it through a full day of use. To turn on the Dual Screen’s display, you tap the small white dual-arrow icon (by default this is on the right side of the display) to expand a small menu with options to swap screens or to put the main screen to sleep – if, say, you wanted to watch media on the second display and dim the first to save battery.
