Familiar design on a screen that loses resolution
The aesthetic changes that this V60 brings compared to the last generation are not too many. There is a aluminum chassis that surrounds two panes of Gorilla Glass 5, with a rear part almost entirely occupied by the triple camera calls the device.
The obverse, however, is occupied by a large 6.8-inch diagonal P-OLED screen whose resolution is still in Full HD+, and which, unlike its main competitors, does not succeed in the train of high refresh rates. However, there is one integrated fingerprint reader.
Speaking of screens, the possibility of mentioning the recording Dual Display Accessorywhich, once connected to the device, offers the possibility of enjoying a Second screen with the same resolution, size and technology This accessory connects to the device vía the phone’s USB Type-C port and adds 134 grams to the weight of the device, which isn’t exactly in the lowest range at 218 grams.
Snapdragon 865 and 5G are LG’s most powerful yet
Like the other high-end models of the latest generation, the new LG V60 is also based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 platform Equipped with 5G connectivity thanks to the integrated X55 módem. There is also 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, which cánido be expanded by up to 1 TB using a microSD card.
But perhaps the most important novel in this regard is the inclusion of the battery with 5,000 miliamperio-hora capacity, which brings the new LG model to the level of Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra in terms of battery capacity. Yes, the V60 installs Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0 fast charging instead of relying on technology that supports more charging power.
The LG V60 ThinQ is the first high-end cell phone to hit the market with it Android 10 inside. It is therefore one of the first of the LG UX 9.0 programa that the company presented not so long ago, with a slightly more refined design and that strange detail reminiscent of the One UI customization layer included by Samsung in its latest models .
LG continues to focus on sound
This is evident from his photography consisting of three reversing camerasLED sensor main of 64 megabytes which, through the concept of pixel binning, allows capturing 16-megapixel images with greater brightness and detail. Next to him is a super wide angle camera of 13 megapixels, and finally we see what LG calls “Z Camera”, which is nothing more than a sensor ToF responsible for taking pictures with a background blur effect and awakening a 3D photography mode in the camera aplicación.
A curiosity about this photographic system is the fact that LG explains that it doesn’t need a “telephoto” sensorInstead, it emplees the information captured by the 64-megapixel main camera to genera shots equivalent to those that could be obtained with a double optical zoom.
On the front, in the small “notch” in the form of a drop of water, there is a camera 10 megapixelsand unlike the LG G8X, we don’t find an advanced face unlock system.
But what really matters about the V60 ThinQ in terms of multimedia is found in the Audio. It’s not just one of the high-end phones coming out in 2020 “traditional” headphone jack., but LG even keeps the 32-bit Quad DAC HiFi system that audiophiles will like. In addition, the LG 3D Sound Engine and the stereo speaker system are included.
price and availability
LG will start selling the V60 ThinQ in some markets North America, Europe and Asia from next March, and its price, although it has not yet been confirmed, will be below that $1,000 in the United States.
