I was also able to look for recipes for mains on one screen and side dishes on the other.\u00a0 You can also comparison shop any product more easily.\u00a0 It came in handy when I wanted to watch YouTube videos and clear up some emails at the same time. You quickly find uses for the second screen and it is difficult to go back to a single screen.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"final-thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n<p>I really ended up liking the option to have a dual screen. The battery life was incredible \u2013 one charge lasted for three days of use (not continuous). \u00a0It beats any phone that I have ever tried before. \u00a0The camera was good and there were a few unique features that I haven\u2019t seen on other smart devices, but it does not have a telephoto lens. \u00a0The quality of video was excellent \u2013 it was smooth even when I was distracted and had shaky hands. \u00a0The only real downside though, is that it is bulky\u2013 although, that is true of most smartphones.<\/p>\n<p>Some things come down to preference. A lot of people will only use iPhones or only use Androids.\u00a0 I have one of each, and there are advantages and disadvantages to both.\u00a0 The user experience on either platform is not that different, again, it comes down to preference.\u00a0 The decision is whether you need a dual screen device.\u00a0 I, personally, enjoyed having the option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">The LG V60 ThinQ 5G Dual Screen launched in Canada on April 9 and I had the opportunity to test it out for almost 3 weeks.\u00a0 The goal of the&hellip;<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/divine-reviews-the-lg-v60-thinq-5g-dual-screen\/\" class=\"button button-primary button-effect\"><span>View Post<\/span><span><i class=\"cs-icon cs-icon-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1598105,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[6339,6342,6343,6340,6344,6341],"powerkit_post_featured":[3],"class_list":{"0":"post-1598104","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-reviews","8":"tag-lg-v60-thinq-5g-dual-screen","9":"tag-lg-v60-thinq-5g-review","10":"tag-smart-devices","11":"tag-smart-phones","12":"tag-tech-for-lifestyle","13":"tag-tech-reviews"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1598104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1598104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1598104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1598105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1598104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1598104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1598104"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=1598104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
