And oh yeah, it still has a headphone jack. Credit: Evan Blass The source of the leaks is once again Evan Blass of @evleaks fame. Screengrabs from an LG promotional video show off a few of the phone’s highlights, including the massive battery. For reference, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus ‘only’ has a 4,300 mAh battery, while the Huawei Mate 10 Pro includes a 4,5000 mAh one; these two phones have some of the best battery life on the market. Granted, we don’t know the V60’s screen size, but LG isn’t normally one to go for the largest screens on the market, so chances are it will translate to actual battery performance.

There isn’t a rear fingerprint sensor, so LG is either using an in-display sensor as with the G8X, or it’s turned to facial recognition (likely the former, as there doesn’t appear to be any hardware for 3D facial recognition). While the big battery is a major improvement on what it arguably LG’s biggest traditional weakness, the company will likely need a bigger hook to pull people away from the competition. LG pulled out of Mobile World Congress this year, but it shouldn’t be long until we find out more regardless.
