Pixel 5 vs LG Velvet Midrange Battle! Where should you spend YOUR $700?

[@adriancepeda5962]

Awesome video! Comes to show that specs aren't everything. Was kind of weary of my pixel 5 purchase knowing of it's direct competition with the velvet, 8t, and s20 fe, but after seeing this video, I'm happy to say that my pixel purchase is worth it :) Was previously an LG owner since the G3, but if the Velvet is any indication of what they can do at that price point, I'm happy to look away from their products and switch to the pixel brand indefinitely.

The audio wasn't even close, the Pixel 5 wins that category easily. I was impressed with how the Velvet performed, but like you said the Pixel 5 did the little things much better and in the end has the better camera performance. 2 shout outs... 1st the stabilization on the Pixel, good Gawd and... 2nd, LG brought their A game in 2020, they released some killer phones this year in the V60, Velvet, and the Wing.

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Absolutely. You're 100% right!

[@scottmckenrick]

Really liking all of the Pixel content. I’m glad I stumbled across your channel. You’ve earned a sub from me!

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Thank you!!!

[@acbelton19]

That was an amazing comparison I have been trying to decide between the two. You have answered that for me thanks so much. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Thank you!

What’s your Instagram

I'm trying to get a hold of a Velvet even though LG is no more, simply because I think the focal length is shorter (you can get closer) so I should be able to get REALLY close up/zoomed in 'macro' shots of things like the face of an ant. I used to be able to get those kind of shots with my old Samsung Galaxy III and my LGG6 (before I dropped it and also got moisture into it.) Have you tried any very close-up, detailed shots of tiny bugs, by any chance? The Pixel 6 Pro I ended up with can only get so close. More traditional shots look fine and sharp but without being able to focus closer, I can't get the level of detail I was getting with the others. ?

[@Fayrbrant]

Judging from video and audio recording alone, I think Pixel 5 is way ahead of the Velvet. I like the color and stabilisation on Pixel 5. Do they have jittering effect from EIS when viewed on larger screen such as laptop monitor?

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Not that I've noticed

[@jeffvaleriano6146]

I've had the Pixel 5 as my secondary before but sold it because of the processor and lack of microsd card slot. I recently purchased a velvet for 177$. I can't complain about anything because of it's design and the price I paid for it. I used gcam apk from online and the photo qualify improved significantly.

[@2Bleicher]

Finally 60fps videos!!!! You are the best 😁👍👍

[@toddplaner8953]

LG Velvet for $299. Think I'll go that route over the Pixel 5. Can't get the 4a $299!

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

If you're on Verizon, you can get it for $0 right now (Nov, 2020)

[@TechOdyssey]

Another 🔥 video!

[@jaytcapinpin]

Had a Pixel 4a 5G...died to water damage. Looking at either the 5a 5G or the Velvet as a replacement. I can find the Velvet for $200 refurbished and the 5a for about $330 refurbished. Decisions Decisions.

[@endofword2012]

Maybe a stupid question, but Did you film in HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL.? and for me Pixel5 have beter stabilisation

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Vertically

[@Bor3ystillsame]

Nice comparison camera 📸😍

These are the pixel videos people need to see

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Thank you!

@@TechnicallySpeaking I'm coming from a pixel 3 xl and can't wait to see the 5 based on your videos

[@supertouring1]

The pixel audio is hands down better. Video wise, the pixel seems more natural while the Velvet seems very artificial or boosted. That said, the pixel 5 seems to give a very reddish color to faces while the Velvet has more natural colours.

[@hellsing0999999999]

Damm, the velvet really has that movie look with the background out of focus.

[@Techvoyage777]

Have you seen any issues with your phone having a “gap”. Looks like users have been affected.

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

I have not seen any on my end

[@MrJrod899]

No issues with mine either

[@caro6151]

I did ....my Velvet has a gap when I move around apps ugh

[@xGeoThumbs]

5:20 Interesting color of grass.

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

I noticed that too

[@neilzacharrysantos2951]

lg has the more vivid colors until that dynamic range issues

[@mmmuck]

LG velvet with gcam seems like a killer combo no?

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Actually... That sounds like a great video idea 🤔🤔🤔

[@mmmuck]

@@TechnicallySpeaking yes please, that would be amazing. I'm leaning towards the pixel but if gcam on the velvet works I'll get the velvet

[@Roxie37118]

What about for music... Which one is better?

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

The velvet for music

[@baldone45]

Lg Velvet is 400.00 on T-Mobile now

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Daaaang!

[@rohanred4026]

Lg wing vs lg velvet vs pixel 4a ?? Suggestions please.

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Ohhh that’s a tough one. The wing is sweet, but more expensive than the 4a. I would choose the 4a overall for myself.

[@caro6151]

I am trying to make a decision. I am a pixel person but LG is much cheaper 😭

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Personally I'd go with Pixel because of the support

[@jasoniannantuono7341]

that velvet front camera is not so good..pixel 5 is fire!

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Yeah, pretty large difference IMO

[@AndrewPSmith]

Magician-ry?? 🤔

[@jahfarevans2616]

The pixel has that iphone look on the front facing camera

[@baldone45]

Doesn't iphone have a giant arse notch in the front?...I don't follow

[@Inspiredx916]

Lol... $700 is not mid range ..

Did you get the velvet? If so, how is it? I'm trying to decide between the velvet or the samsung A71 5g.

I picked the Velvet up for my dad . It's a great phone but it all comes down to what you like.

in terms of colors yes, but in dynamic range. no.
