LG is formally announcing its next-generation dual-screen capable phone, the LG V60 ThinQ 5G. This comes after the boom behind foldable like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and dual-screen phones like the upcoming Microsoft Surface Duo.
LG V60 ThinQ 5G combines exactly what you would expect from a flagship phone in 2020 and a straightforward successor to last year’s V50 ThinQ. By using the Snapdragon 865 — backed by 8GB of RAM — the V60 ThinQ 5G is, as the name implies, 5G capable. To offset the additional battery, drain from using 5G connectivity, LG has packed in a massive 5000mAh battery, a full 25% upgrade from last year.
As with the other phones in LG’s enthusiast-oriented V series, the LG V60 ThinQ flaunts its 3.5mm headphone port, boosted with a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC and LG’s own “3D Sound Engine” audio enhancement techniques. On the other side of audio, LG is touting something it calls “voice bokeh” to put the “focus” on the person speaking rather than the background noise, no doubt powered by the phone’s four-channel microphone arrangement.
On the front of the LG V60 ThinQ 5G, you’ll find a 6.8-inch 2460×1080 P-OLED display, but with the separate LG Dual Screen, you can attach a second, identical display via a 360-degree hinge. Harkening back to past entries in the LG V series, this Dual Screen accessory features an external 2.1-inch monochromatic cover display for quick access to notifications.
