Ultra-thin body with “3D Arc” design.
After several years of following the same design line in its G and V series, the South Korean company has made a decision return to the work table and create a new aesthetic language This sets this model apart from all other terminals that LG has launched in recent years.
The LG Velvet features a Glass and crystal body, where the curves are the main features – as with most high-end mobile phones from the major manufacturers -. His face is occupied with a large curved screen surrounded by reduced edges and guided by a small “notch” in the shape of a drop of water, deviating a certain symmetry from the phone’s appearance.
The screen in question emplees technology P OLED and there is a diagonal of it 6.8 inches. There is your intention Full HDand integrates a fingerprint reader under the panel.
The back, also made of glass and also with curves on the sides, espectáculos a clear and harmonious design with the rest of the design, and only the triple camera system in the upper left part completes this cleaning. The camera configuration is led by a large sensor, along with two smaller ones and finally an even smaller diameter LED flash.
To join the back to the front, a brushed aluminum housing, which gives the device a certain robustness when it is locked in place improve ergonomics thanks to its slightly rounded corners and its flat bottom.
The phone will be available in several different colors: green, white, gray and a gradient that goes from yellow to red. Also yes IP68 certification and military resistance class MIL-STD-810G.
An unusual Snapdragon core in a flagship
One of the main reasons behind the excessive increase in high-end mobile phones launched in 2020 is the famous Snapdragon 865 and its high cost compared to last year’s model. Therefore, it is not surprising that some brands have decided Rely on processors in the lower price rangewho are equally capable of delivering a premium experience. It’s an LG case.
The Velvet brings the chip Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, a chip that, like the 865, is made in 7 nanometers and consists of 8 cores. with him 8GB LPDDR4x RAM Y 128GB UFS 2.1 storage. Not the fastest storage tech out there, although that’s consistent given what segment of the market this phone is targeting.

Naturally, Android 10 The version of Android running in this device is a three-layer customized LG UX with all the new features introduced in the latest version.
Triple camera and dedication to vídeos with “ASMR mode”
As I mentioned earlier, the main photography system on the LG Velvet consists of through different cameras. The first sensor is 48 megapixel resolution with f/1.8 aperture, PDAF and OIS, and has a 8 megapixel ultra-angle camera, as well as a 5 megapixel depth lens. In this case, LG forgets the “Tele”. The front, for its part, is led by a camera 17 megapixel resolution.
The main innovations in this regard are the system Quad binning, which combines four pixels into one to create brighter images when using the main sensor; or a new audio capture mode when recording vídeos that allows you to separate background noise and speech. But perhaps the strangest feature of all is this ASMR methodincreasing the sensitivity of the microphones during vídeo recording to capture even the tiniest of whispers.
More details on the multimedia part of the phones are included double stereo speaker supported by the Artificial Intelligence Audio system that automatically analyzes the content being played and determines the most suitable sound quality for each type of sound.

In conclusion it must be said that together with the phone LG will sell official accessories like the dual-screen case which allows you to add a second screen to the device; as well as a smart pen Because not much is known yet. Both perro be purchased separately, but their prices have not been announced at this time.
