The LG V60 is here: My Phone of the Year.

I purchased this case and it is pretty solid, it will do nicely until my dual screen arrives. A lot better than I expected...

I went ahead and ordered one from OtterBox. The symmetry series. Arriving 4 days after my phone though.

There's just not much out there for the V60 right now

That's good enough for me. I'm going to go ahead and order it!

You'll enjoy it. Weren't you using the Nokia 9 Pureview?

Yes, you have a good memory! And I have really enjoyed it. But after it updated to Android 10 the camera app freezes the phone and causes it to reboot. HMD is aware that has happened to some phones but have done nothing to r=try to correct it. They also never updated the camera app which is seriously lacking. I actually think that they've tried to produce too many phone models and are unable to keep up with them all. But it will still be a good backup phone (that can't take pics). Time to move on. I placed my order.

Oh wow that sucks. The Android 10 broke my text messages notification sounds on the OnePlus 7 Pro regardless of which messaging app I tried. So it's nice having my notifications again.

I've almost come to the point that when I'm ready for a new OS I will just replace the phone. I've not had good experiences with updating phones.

It happens though. I've had positive experiences with every update except the Android 10 one which was fine outside of the silent text messages issue.

I keep hoping they'll come up with a fix for my Nokia, though I don't believe it will happen. I was able to get some really nice pics with it during the time I've had it.

Oh yeah I believe you. I really wanted that phone as well but I didn't trust them as far as updates went so I held off on it. I still think it takes some of the best photos around.

I did get a chance to get a little tonight for some quick shots using auto and manual mode and a few night view shots. Tested a few shots at 5x zoom as well and I must say the results came out very nice. In no particular order. Here we go.

Wow, those are truly beautiful. I love the clock tower one with the darkened clouds - is that the Night Mode shot? Looks like this phone takes stellar pictures!

Here's an interesting comparison between the V60's digital zoom, and the V50's dedicated telephoto lens. Color me impressed.

Thanks Morty. The one with the clock tower was actually a standard photo testing out the zoom. I think I was at 5x zoom in that one. I can't wait to test the cameras further when things get better.

Yep I saw that yesterday too. Happy I went with it and LG made the right compromise there.

I'm calling it official.

Wow! And it looked like it was still shining even in that darker setting. So beautiful.

Oh yeah. Nice.

 

[ffejjj]

Grabbed a Speck case too just because they have fast shipping.

And for anyone wondering, you can answer and take calls using the dual screen without opening the case.
