Video recording has always been a big part of the V Series, so it’s nice to have improved audio capture to go along with it. The LG V60 has four microphones that help out a lot when recording video. The last audio feature to mention is the phone’s audio capture ability. The phone gets super loud and the audio quality is great. The stereo speakers on the LG V60 are, thankfully, very good. That's a feature that sounds good on paper, but it doesn't always pan out in real life. I've largely moved on to Bluetooth headphones, but I still appreciate having the physical port from time to time. There are two audio features that I do really like, though. While I can say the audio from the LG V60 sounds really good, the Quad DAC technology is wasted on me. Truthfully, I'm not anything close to an audiophile. I've reviewed a lot of LG phones, and there's a subset of people who want to hear about the audio quality. The bottom edge features the USB-C port, speaker grill, and an ancient round port called a “headphone jack.” The volume up, down, and Assistant buttons are basically the same size, so it’s not super obvious by feel if you’re pressing volume or Assistant. I like Google Assistant and use it pretty frequently, but I find this button placement to be a little annoying. On the left side, you’ll find the power button, and on the right side is where the volume buttons and Google Assistant button live. It makes the back of the phone look like a robot face, which may or may not be a good thing depending on your view. ![]() The rear cameras are aligned in a horizontal row, very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S10. One negative about the glass back is how much it shows fingerprints. The aluminum frame provides a nice contrast with the white back. The LG V60 is a decently thick phone, and the shape of the back really makes that known. The glass back slopes drastically into the aluminum frame around the edges. I received the “Classy White” model from LG USA for review, but both the blue and white color options feature Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and Gorilla Glass 6 on the back. Putting the size aside, the design of the LG V60 ThinQ is really nice. I also prefer the feel of a smaller device in my pocket as I find it annoying to have a big phone bouncing around while running or cycling. ![]() Personally, I prefer a smaller device that’s easier to use with one hand. You might be the type of person who spends most of their screen time on a phone, so a big display might be something you really like. The LG V60 isn’t heavier than I would expect, but it certainly feels like LG has returned to the tank-like design of the first V Series devices. I remember reviewing the LG V10 and I couldn’t get over how big, thick, and heavy it was. Maybe I’ve become a curmudgeon who hates big phones, but the size of the LG V60 ThinQ is something that really impacts my daily usage. It’s easily the biggest phone I’ve ever used. Obviously, it’s much narrower than a tablet, but there’s no getting around the fact that this is a very large phone. The 6.8-inch display is very close to the display size on some smaller tablets, after all, with the device itself being just over an inch shorter than the latest iPad Mini. I think everyone will agree that the LG V60 ThinQ is a big phone.
