LG Velvet 5G Review In 2022

BLOOPERS AT THE END!
--------------------
We all said goodbye to LG phones almost a year ago. I owned a few of their phones over the course of my life, and once hearing of the tech giants departure, I decided to quickly snatch up a delicious looking phone...
The LG Velvet 5G.
I couldn't resist the temptation to pick up one of the last LG phones to be made. (Alongside the V series and Wing)
This is one bootylicious phone!

Watching on my LG velvet. I love this phone. Thanks for the review.

[@jopatech]

I’m using it as a secondary phone at the moment. It really is a beautiful experience! Thanks for the sub!! 🙏

[@darleneselboza3539]

Is it okay to buy this phone now ? I read an article that LG will stop making phones I'm wondering what will be the effect and how about the updates, signal, and etc..

[@jopatech]

@@darleneselboza3539 according to The Verge, LG has stated they will continue to update their phones for up to 3 years, so the Velvet should see updates into 2023. That includes security and OS updates. For now, my Velvet is still on Android 11 and my fingers are crossed for an update here in Canada hopefully soon.

[@darleneselboza3539]

@@jopatech now I'm wondering what will happen next yr if it will be done on 2023. Would you still recommend buying this phone then?

[@jopatech]

@@darleneselboza3539 I would if you are on a budget. If the phone is priced properly and security isn’t a big concern for you (example, you are using this as a media device and not for sensitive work) then it’s a great buy. By 2023, we will have some great new phones on the market that will render the Velvet obsolete, so something else might catch your eye. 😎

Andriod 13 is confirmed for the LG Velvet 4 and 5 G versions. I already have the 5G version but now I am getting the 4G one too since I live in Europe and it's really cheap here - it does have the SD 845 which makes it a different phone on the inside not to mention dual sim support.

[@jopatech]

Nice!! Sadly, still waiting on Android 12 here in Canada 😒

[@exs3574]

Yes, you can get a better spec plastic brick for the money however in this case it's beauty over power. The Velvet design and quality is truly one of a kind. As a Samsung S-series fan I bought my LG back in 2020. Not only does it work perfectly fine but also looks absolutely stunning compared to the current plastic stuff on the market and most importantly it doesn't cost $1200. 6.8 Poled screen, glass front & back, aluminum frame, IP68 water resistant, stereo + headphone jack, wireless charging, NFC - that's more than most people would ever expect. In addtion to this it's slim and shaped like a credit card - feels like a hand extension not a "better spec" brick you really don't need anyway. Great vid though 👍

[@jopatech]

I couldn’t agree more! I’ll never get over how good the Velvet feels. It’s name truly speaks volumes about its style 😎

Looking into buying this phone or the LG V60. As a samsung galaxy fold user i gotta say i fill like i compromised by getting a phone without a 3.5 mm headphone jack and micro sd card support. I've been a big LG fan since the LG G3 and owned so many of there flagships since the G3 like the v10, V30 and LG G8X duel screen. Most likely will be buying the LG Velvet or LG V60 with the dual screen case off ebay before summer is over. Good video 👍🏼.

[@jopatech]

Thank you very much! The Fold is a beautiful phone, but like most beautiful things, comes caveats. The V60 will give you more options and power, but the Velvet will get the job done. The dual screen Velvet is also nifty and you don’t have to worry about a ‘glasstic’ screen 😎

[@racea.t6531]

@@jopatech I bought the LG V60, the bamboo smart stylus and gonna grab the dual screen case next. My samsung galaxy fold is now put away. I cant lie miss the fold but i know it will change once i get my dual screen case.👍

I've had my LG 5 for 18 months. I've found if I use the Battery Saver featured, it will really extend the life of the battery over the course of a day.

[@jopatech]

That's awesome! I know the performance takes a slight hit and so does certain push notifications for apps like email, etc... How is your LG performing overall the with battery saver on? I'm curious to know!

[@phoenixmysticised88]

@@jopatech Unfortunately, over the last month the battery performance has declined! I thought of replacing the battery, but as I'm sure you know, it's impossible to do with this model.

My first LG was the LG Shine

does it have a hybrid slot to put 2 sims? or only one SIM and SD card?

Sadly, only 1 SIM and micro SD card

Still rocking my V60 with the dual screen case, I will miss LG they made my phones I don't know where I will go next.

It does suck, but that V60 is still a great phone!

[@iamsophiegaming7043]

Does the camera good??

[@jopatech]

@@iamsophiegaming7043 the cameras on both phones are good, but not the best, in my opinion.

[@marcossan9988]

Your V60 will last another 5 to 10 years easily; high - end smartphones have become so powerful & good since 2018

[@jopatech]

@@marcossan9988 this is very true. All our phones are capable for years after their release and with more ram and cpu power, a battery change will keep things fresh for some time

[@johnika20091]

Is this phone unlocked because what carrier would I be able to use it with??? I haven't seen it in anywhere

[@jopatech]

Mine was purchased through the Rogers network but in Canada, all phones are now sold unlocked no matter where in the country. So technically, mine is unlocked 🤓

[@iskandarkandar6273]

Oh yes ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jopatech]

Oh yes indeed!

[@AhmedR7AH]

Is it with NFC feature?

I wish they had stayed also. Always loved their phones 😌

[@aliceaozaki5339]

Thanks! What case do you recommend?

[@jopatech]

I gravitate towards Spigen cases. Best quality and protection for a good price!

[@exs3574]

I checked a few incl. Spiegen 3:30 the black one on the left is great and works best for me. Highly recommended.

[@jopatech]

@@exs3574 Agreed!!

[@marcossan9988]

It got the military standard. Just don't drop it outside on concrete. Cases are for the somewhat unhandy people to be honest..

Plz make camera comparison with gcam vs stock camera lg valvet

Camera on the Velvet isn't that good, I have it and even in full lighting it's not great. It's a midranger at the end of the day

[@scotty666tt]

Got a velvet and a G8 had the V60 till my spouse cracked one night while she was pissed but outta all the phones the V60 was a monster,Velvet OK

[@l818l6]

whats the difference of tmobile and thub version?

[@jopatech]

I may not be 100% correct on this one, but I believe one offers 5G and the other offers 4G LTE.

[@robertabrams91]

Processer

[@nikolaipuskin4675]

Audio chip Hi-res on board?

[@jopatech]

No hi res audio chip like you’d find in the V or G series. The velvet uses software enhancements for their 3D sound. It still sounds great for the everyday user!

[@newajsharif916]

[@amgadsabet2941]

hi dear, i bought one from a month and it work with android 10 and refuse to updat , i use it outsid the USA , is this the reason ?? it is at&t edition

[@jopatech]

The only thing I can think of is it’s a carrier locked phone. AT&T may be the ones who control updates for their phones. I am from Canada, so things in the USA may be different and I can’t tell you for certain.

[@jstrpc]

At&t won't push out the update for the phone unless u have an activated at&t sim in the phone. Next time you're in the state stop by a carrier store and ask for one of their Sims and restart your phone that's what I did

[@jopatech]

@@jstrpc that’s a good idea! I’m in Canada, so I’ll see if my carrier here does the same.

[@howarddiego3924]

Which is better lg velvet 5g or lg v40 thinq?

[@jopatech]

The V40 ThinQ offers a better screen, better cameras, and overall higher specs, but it is 2 years older than the Velvet. Other than age, the V40 is a solid contender! Especially at a very good price on the used market.

[@howarddiego3924]

So would you choose v40 over lg velvet?

[@jopatech]

@@howarddiego3924 I haven't personally used the V40, but looking at the specs, I would choose it over the velvet. The V series always offered more and was made to take the abuse. If you can, go for a newer V series so you can get some more time out of it. (V60)

[@giacjack]

It's going to have android 12 update, so happy

[@jopatech]

I’m still waiting for that update. It’s going to be a well deserved update, for sure!

[@giacjack]

@@deleqtronica8733 yeah i updated it about 10 days ago

[@jukokololy5188]

What's better lg velvet or v50s?

[@jopatech]

If you’re looking for raw horsepower and updates aren’t a major concern for you, the V50s is a solid choice. The CPU is more powerful and can handle multitasking with ease thanks to the 8GB of memory. If updates and security are a concern, the Velvet is the way to go as it should receive Android 12 outside of South Korea with a few more security updates. Hope that helps and thanks for tuning in!

[@jukokololy5188]

@@jopatech thank you another question is the Camera really good? I want to make vlogs and slow motion video using 4k shoot which is more smoother and color accurate ?

[@jopatech]

@@jukokololy5188 I personally have not used the V50S, I don’t think it was available in Canada. However, you will probably get better footage from the V50S because of the more powerful internals. V series always was better than the G in terms of overall performance.

[@user-xv1sc9vh5z]

Thanks for this review bro I want ask you How long does it take to charge its battery?

[@jopatech]

From 0 to 100 it will take 1.5 hours with the included charger. Once the phone hits 80% the speed drops to preserver battery life. From 0 you can get the phone in the 40% range with a 30 minute charge. Hope that helps and thanks for the view!! ✌️

How about the screen on time? How long does it last?

[@jopatech]

@@andrieymasongsong5720 I haven’t done a dedicated screen-on test, however, gsm arena states just over 12 hours of web browsing or 15.5 hours of offline video playback. Before my last charge, I had around 5 and a half hours of screen on time on a normal day. That is a more realistic number for mixed use, but you could see above 6 hours as some users have reported.
