LG V60 ThinQ 5G Hands-On: A Big Smartphone With Only Two Rear Cameras

The newly announced LG V60 ThinQ 5G is a high-end smartphone that’s meant to directly compete with Samsung’s Galaxy S20. Like last year’s G8X ThinQ and V50 thinQ, the V60 ThinQ 5G is compatible with a Dual Screen case that adds another screen to the handset.

While the availability date and price of the phone remains unknown, LG did say that the V60 will come at a price lower than that of the S20, whose 5G version now costs Rs 71,500. However, considering the G8X from last year costing Rs 55,800, the V60 may cost more than that. And as the phone has already been announced, here are hands-on photos that will give up a closer look at the LG V60 ThinQ 5G.

Design

The V60 sports an OLED screen that measures 6.8 inches, which is 0.4 inches larger than last year’s model. The additional space on the display makes it more comfortable for users to watch videos as well as browse the web while the colors are vibrant and rich. However, at such a large size, it could be difficult to use the smartphone on one hand, not to mention when you fit it in the accessory case.

It will take you some time to master the Dual Screen, finding specific actions by tapping around the display. But once you’ve got used to it, there are several benefits you can enjoy. Now that you have two displays, you can use one of them as a game controller, or multitask on both displays, or expand an app across them like on a tablet. The Dual Screen case can be used as a stand or removed completely.

Camera

While recent smartphones have three or four cameras on average, the V60 ThinQ 5G has two and an added sensor. However, it’s not a deal-breaker at all because while more cameras mean more photo options, most regular users don’t need that many.

On the back, there is a 64MP main lens along with a 13MP wide-angle camera. You can capture photos at either the full resolution or at 16 megapixels. The second option is possible thanks to the pixel binning technique, which essentially combines a sensor’s pixels, improving photos in low-light environments.

There is also a ToF camera for depth-sensing and AR applications, such as selfie stickers and the 3D photo effect. With this, you can take portraits featuring a sense of depth, but this capability needs further refining on the V60 ThinQ 5G.

The handset supports 8K video capturing and up to 10x digital zoom. On the front, there is a 10MP lens for taking selfies.
