Hi everyone, new to the forum. My name is Randy, but I didn't see a way to have my name displayed.
LG will support their phones as per law in the US, which means, "There were plenty of concerns about
long-term
support after
LG announced it
would be exiting the smartphone business, it later clarified that many of its premium devices
will receive three years of updates. The
V60 is included in that list, meaning it
should be eligible for
Android 13 as its final upgrade.Apr 24, 2021, Android Authority".
- The release date of the V60 was April 20th, 2020, so it'll have security updates and OS updates until 4/2023.
- Personally I'd still buy a V60, that's about as much support as I expect from manufacturers, though lately I heard Samsung is upping their security updates to 4 years on their Galaxy phones. That's pretty sweet, but 3 years of full support is not bad at all.

I LOVED my V20 and now my V40 because of the extraordinary recording quality. I'd put it on a little tripod while jamming with friends and the music sounded like you were there.
Was recently looking for a replacement for my V40, and after making a spreadsheet that had critical features, this is what I came up with:
Must haves:
- Large screen, preferably 6.4" and above
- Wireless charging
- Outstanding battery life
- SD card slot (if only 64GB, if 128GB then it's optional)
Wanna haves:
- Headphone jack
- Release Date less than 1.5 years
- Stereo speakers
- IP of 68
The V40 has nearly all these criteria, the V60 does have all these. The closest I found that was affordable to me (I'm looking for total costs including tax under $500), was the Samsung Galaxy S10+. It's a little older though, release date of 2/2019. However I also found new V60s for that price as well: about $425 plus tax.

On a different topic, I was hoping someone would weigh in on a Thread I started on the V20 forum.

I suspect that it being an older phone there won't be much traffic, and it'd be the same issue with a V40.
Basically I bought an AT&T V20 that I used on a T-Mobile network, and I can't access the upgrades to Android 8 'cause I'm not an AT&T customer. Probably best to follow the above link and respond in that thread. Thanks!
