If LG\u2018s flagships have had one consistent issue over the past few iterations, its been battery life. While other manufacturers had moved onto massive batteries proportionate to ever-larger screens, LG typically maintained batteries smaller than the competition. That seems to be the case no more: The upcoming LG V60 packs a massive 5,000 mAh battery, putting it ahead of almost every existing flagship-class phone on the market.<\/p>\n

And oh yeah, it still has a headphone jack.<\/p>\n

The source of the leaks is once again Evan Blass of @evleaks<\/a> fame. Screengrabs from an LG promotional video show off a few of the phone\u2019s highlights, including the massive battery.<\/p>\n

For reference, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus \u2018only\u2019 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\u2019t know the V60\u2019s screen size, but LG isn\u2019t normally one to go for the largest screens on the market, so chances are it will translate to actual battery performance.<\/p>\n

Other details that can be discerned from the images include a quad-microphone setup \u2013 remember the V series has always been focused on video \u2013 and what appears to be a triple-camera setup and an additional sensor (perhaps a time-of-flight one for depth-sensing?). There isn\u2019t a rear fingerprint sensor, so LG is either using an in-display sensor as with the G8X, or it\u2019s turned to facial recognition (likely the former, as there doesn\u2019t appear to be any hardware for 3D facial recognition).<\/p>\n

While the big battery is a major improvement on what it arguably\u00a0LG\u2018s 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\u2019t be long until we find out more regardless.<\/p>\n
