LG Velvet Review

Lisa Gade reviews the more affordable 5G LG Velvet Android 10 smartphone on AT&T. The $599 phone supports LG’s Dual Display, sold separately. Thanks to our sponsor, Keeper Security. Visit them here www.keepersecurity.com/person... and use our promo code MOBILETECH20 to save 20% on individual and family plans, and secure add-ons. The Velvet is also coming to T-Mobile and Verizon later this summer. The Velvet is a lovely new look for LG, and it has a 6.8” OLED display that supports Wacom AES pens (as does the Dual Display accessory). It has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G CPU, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, a microSD card slot and triple rear cameras. It competes with the Samsung Galaxy A71 and the OnePlus Nord.

The awesome thing is, that Lisa can speak in detail to anyone looking to buy a product, because she's a gamer, video editor, digital artist, photographer etc etc. Love these reviews for their thoroughness

Every review I watch, I'm amazed at how simple and to-the-point these reviews are. No time is wasted, and nothing too subjective is forced in. It sounds so simple, but it's actually exceedingly rare from my experience.

[@hmj8469]

great review. It's a little frustrating that a $600 phone is considered budget-mid range. It wasn't that long ago that $600 could get you a top of the line OnePlus.

[@brosplit]

Previous Top of the line oneplus was a budget flagship -introductory product. They cant keep up with xiaomi pricing thus bbk made realme which still hard keeping up with xiaomi.

[@carlesc5497]

Wait a little bit after July 31st when the extra $600 of unemployment expires and Americans take home roughly 1200 a month. This phone will be considered LUXURY.

100% of all LG phones are based entirely upon false advertising. Every LG phone I have ever used was so pathetically horrific, that, I realized LG's very involvement in the smartphone technology in and of itself is a total scam. I remember seeing so many advertisements of how spectacular their Q7+ phone was, and after buying it, the only thing it did was cause misery and trauma, because of how much of a piece of bullcrap it was. LG has no business being involved with smartphone technology, because, they have cut too many cheap corners, which has permanently slandered their own name.

[@pkboss8324]

@ why bad experience with LG?? What phones u had I had a LG G6 it came with a factory fault Red smudge otherwise it was good This LG velvet with 4300mah with only 5-6 hours SOT seems like battery LG did put is poor quality or they are scamming the people by saying its 4300 mah it probably less because nowadays phones with 4000 mah are giving 8-10 hours of SOT LG is always making strange moves

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

The dual screen is a $200 value. So that makes the value coder to Se, pixel, edge or s10lite. V60 is $200 more but has 865. Both have stylus support for way less than note or duo

[@SC2point0]

[@therealfirstone]

I absolutely love you're style of review, quick, strait to the point and very clear info. Now this is one phone I would consider. I'm the kind of user that set aside my Note 8 for a Motorola G7+ I got for free from my carrier. It was new, flat screen, fast enough and I'm satisfied with the casual picture taking quality. I mention flat screen because I was never a fan of the Note's rounded edges, I never found a good screen protector that worked well with it. I've realized that I don't need the latest and greatest since now even moderate technology phones are good enough, way better than a couple years back. Like I said, I really enjoy you're great reviews, Thanks

[@michaelrs8010]

Well, when we have that answer, we'll always have to answer why every year they have to "improve" with a new model, that is just as buggy as the last model, instead of fixing the last model and making it better.

Lisa - I decided to get a V60 and the dual screen. AT&T has the V60; but can't get the dual screen from AT&T. Is there any other provider, brand, model that works with the Wacom and is dual screen? ... Also found out LG is dropping their entire mobile business. What do you think? Is it still a good expense (Jun2021) or will support die in a year or so. ... Thank You. Great channel to learn from.

For book readers, and note takers, anything with stylus support and dual screen is huge benefit. Can Kindle app books be opened on both pages for example? As a decently priced alternative to upcoming Microsoft, Samsung it adds the important factor of pushing prices down.

[@marcinjaneczko2564]

Is it worth to change htc u 11 for that?

[@HeadsetHistorian]

That's oddly compelling for LG. I remember loving the G3 (minus bootlooping) along with the V10 ans V20 but LG really have been uncompelling except for the Quad DAC. This looks like a real step forward for them. More competition is always a good thing.

I had the same issue with mine. Cooking the motherboard in the oven fixed the issue, at least for a little while. Strangest workaround I have ever seen on a piece of tech.

Excellent review. You hit on every point! I love the looks of the Velvet. I currently have the LG G8, which I love. If the Velvet had the 32-bit Hi-Fi QuadDAC, it would be in my cart. Frankly, I won't be considering a new phone until I can get every 5g tech, as well as the 32-bit Hi-Fi QuadDAC. If you are a Bluetooth headphone person, that won't make any difference. Listening to high-res audio on the G8 with my Bose qc20 noise canceling wired headphones is another world...including Tidal.

[@brightymcbrightface]

the main camera on my pixel 3XL crashes (anyone know a fix?) I use a Sony RX100 for photos, but need the phone camera for various apps (that look at QR codes or shopping or translation). I like a big display and 6.8 OLED at 1080 is fine (don't need to see 4K on a phone ...) So I'm shopping for a phone, but I have to admit after being "vanilla" Android since the first Nexus, I think if Samsung does a great job with the Note 20, I could be willing to spend up, but this dual screen is appealing for the price and the specs are sufficient (paying up for the flagship chips in 2020 seems silly when 2019 phones were already "wow"). 2:42 benches and specs with two displays, it's going to be thick, or leave the second display in your bag, so ........................................................

[@michaelrs8010]

Well, I was all set to go in and buy the T-Mobile Velvet (as my v40 went belly-up last week and I had to go back to my LG G6 backup phonel for awhile) and guess what I found out? It does not come with the dual screen for $600 (ok, 588) and you do not have the option from T-Mobile to get the dual screen. But it gets crazier. If you want the single screen handset V60 at T-Mobile it's $650. If you want the dual screen they bump that up $50. So $700 for a dual screen T-Mobile V60. So then you pay $600 at T-Mobile for your single screen handset Velvet. If you want the dual-screen version, or as they call it the dual screen accessory, you have to get that from LG for $200. And it has to be that specific one, because apparently, like the phones, the dual-screen accessory is made to work with a specific carrier model of the phone. So $700 for a dual screen V60, or $800 for a dual screen Velvet. But wait, it gets even slightly better. The T-Mobile version of The Velvet has the Media Tek 1000c chip in it. Not the Snapdragon 765. The Media-Tek is supposed to be a better chipset. Not up to the snapdragon 865, but much better than the 765 that other carriers have in their version of the Velvet. But because of that there's one more little annoyance. That chipset resulted in a slight build reconfiguration of the T-Mobile velvet. The camera teardrop Is offset from the rest of the models by about 3 millimeters. So if you get an aftermarket case for your T-Mobile velvet have an exacto knife handy, because the lenses well either be off center in the hole of a case made for them for them or some of the casee might actually cover a bit of the lens area. If T-Mobile wanted to do things right, they would have offered the dual-screen version of The Velvet, for $50 more, just like they do with the V60.
