LG Q60

The LG Q60 is an affordable mid-range device you might easily overlook. And that would be a pity because the Q60 clearly has something to offer. What exactly is something we are going to find out for you here.

Camera with wide angle and bokeh

What LG does very well with the Q60 is that they equip such a cheap model with 3 cameras on the back. You don't see that very often and that clearly gives him an edge. For the main camera a 16 megapixel shooter was chosen. This is equipped with PDAF which stands for Phase Detection AutoFocus. That is a quick way to focus. Less chance of blurry photos. The second camera consists of a 5 megapixel sensor and 120° wide-angle lens. Ideal for nature shots or group shots. Finally, there is a 2 megapixel depth of field camera. Because the Q60 can distinguish the foreground from the background, you can make the first one sharp and the second one out of focus. This is called the bokeh effect and delivers beautiful portraits.

Large screen, spatial sound

What is a phone without a good screen? LG has equipped the Q60 with a nice big screen of 6.26 inch. That sounds large, but because of the minimal screen edges, it is not unnecessarily large. LG calls this a FullVision Display and it has a modern screen ratio of 19 to 9. The screen resolution only doesn't get any further than HD+. It is still sharp but not as sharp as much more expensive smartphones. Traditionally, LG also invests in sound quality. The Q60 is equipped with DTS:X 3D Surround Sound. This only works when you're listening wired and ensures high quality spatial sound.

Special Google Assist button

What LG did economise on is the mobile processor. Inside the Q60 there is a MediaTek Helio P22 which has eight cores of up to 2.0 GHz on paper, but in practise does not feel very fast. This is also to be expected in this price category. Fortunately, LG has not equipped the Q60 with a lot of unnecessary software (bloatware) so it is not unnecessarily slow. What remains is one thing we want to discuss and that is the separate Google Assist button. With this button you can call up your own virtual assistant with 1 press, who will answer all your questions and follow commands.
