LG V60 5G ThinQ review: A compromised phone I like anyway
Here's the really weird thing about the V60: I can't remember the last time I liked a phone that annoyed me this much. Ambitious, oddball features like 3D portraits and the dual-screen case need some serious finessing, and LG's software is in dire need of an overhaul. Ultimately though, the fact that V60 delivers on the fundamentals -- solid performance, a good-looking screen, capable cameras and long battery life -- means it's worth paying attention to. It's light on thrills, sure, but you still get a lot of phone for a reasonable price.

Saudi Arabia may be spying on its citizens via US mobile networks
