I still have my LG v20 because of this. I'd love to upgrade but nothing that's come out since even comes close.

I still have my V10 and v20. My v60 is better though. Definitely some trade-offs but I will argue that v60 is better

Yea, I wasn't ready to upgrade yet when the v60 came out. I guess I should have said "nothing I looked at to upgrade has come close" looking at it now though the non removable battery is a deal breaker.

Still have stacks of batteries for my V10 and v20. I thought it would be a deal-breaker too but it's not as bad as I thought. The huge battery they put in the v60s really been lasting. I do admit I prefer to wirelessly charge slowly which possibly helps.

V60 was the best phone ever, represent!

The v60 is the best phone ever.

All the features, very fast, 2 screens.

My v35 was on par and had the back fingerprint, but otherwise the v60 was the ultimate phone.

Non removable battery is a pretty big deal breaker IMO especially in an era where every subsequent phone is more and more stripped down.

No, the v60 was truly incredible, and the battery especially.

I upgraded to a zfold 3 and the battery life is garbage now.

But when the battery wears out you're fucked if you can't find an upgrade. I'm on my 3rd battery on my V20 because I can always just pick up a new one (or at least as long as someone makes them). I'm not saying the v60 wasn't a nice phone. Just I don't want one that's lifespan is limited by the battery. That is a big deal to me.
