Still worth the buy in 2023! You will get an update to Android 13. Love this phone!

[@christianheidt5733]

Hi, maybe you can explain to me how to pair to a Bluetooth device? I'm at a point where I'm going to throw it in the garbage and buy another phone

[@Spicylatte56]

Me too! 😺

[@m.b.5349]

I used the Canadian version on ATT until last Feb (when 3g got turned off). The Illusion Sunset color is the best, and I loved the phone. The 765g cpu is kinda weak for graphically intense games, but other than that I loved the device. Just ordered the ATT Silver color one to use along with my G8x.

[@srztf]

I used LGV60 and LG Velvet before and both are fantastic phones. LGV60 is an all-rounder but LG Velvet is a beautiful phone. The design, idk man, i like the curved screen, the size of the phone, it felt great in my hand..

[@neptunesotherdaughter7119]

I found this beauty by accident. I love this one. Reminds me of the S22. The size of it. I like the size and the camera and IT'S long. I have big hands and it would slip all the time. But this one I SIMPLY love it. Metro wants me to get another kind of android.

[@andcentral2965]

I've just placed an online order for one. Considering its good build quality, appealing aesthetics, impressive system specifications, and excellent camera, getting this now for just $160 is a real bargain. I can now able to enjoy a premium phone experience without hurting my wallet so much.

[@robjayar8684]

I purchased the Velvet 5G earlier this year at a price of $150, and I'm thoroughly enjoying its features.

@@nerysona.m2811 Great phone in great condition, just stuck on android 11 with T mobile and no security patches so I had to move on to something else. A great option for the same price is the Motorola edge 2022 renewed on Amazon

[@krecikowi]

Best phone I got, fantastic price.

[@elenemaria594]

Bittersweet... I agree! And thanks for sharing LG's smartphones again:)

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Yeah the only good thing about LG mobile going out of business was that it suppressed their value on the resale market. I actually bought an LG wing end of v60 when they announced the closure just because I knew it would be my last chance to really get access to these kind of devices. Tempted to get a velvet at this price but the LG wing is so similar it would feel a little redundant.

[@kosztypatrik7028]

Hi, if I know correctly it has 25W cable charger. Can you tell me the Amper and Voltage values please?

[@peterthomas9042]

Hi there I have an LG Velvet and the weather animation has stopped does anyone know out there how to fix it

Just bought one for 50 bucks to replace my red hydrogen that has started dropping data coverage because of no 5g support(best I can figure out).

nice phone

[@krisna2869]

Vivo V27 is same models like LG VELVET....

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Under $100? I mean that's worth buying as a secondary device even if you don't need a new phone. Be dedicated music player with an SD card and a headphone jack. That might be the best deal in 2023 on the resale market. The 765 g is absolutely fine on the day today with good thermals. Stylus support, desktop mode. It gets Android 13. Personally I'm more partial to the LG wing or v60 but both of those are probably going to cost you at least $200. I mean you could get this and a v60 for the same price as an a53

[@johnmc3862]

No quad DAC.

[@Mariothekid1k]

This is a steal

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

It's absolutely insane value. You could safely use this for a couple more years on Android 13. I don't know why people are spending 800 bucks on an s23 or something when you could get a velvet or a v60 -- hell both -- for $0.20 on the dollar.

[@whysoserious4464]

​@@michaelcorcoran8768 that's an easy answer. They want a newer phone with better specs

[@steeltownbrown52]

Steal where? The lowest I've seen for this is 250 CAD (186 USD).

[@deleqtronica8733]

​@@steeltownbrown52I bought mine 5-6 months ago for $175 CND second hand, you can definitely find it for around $200 CND

[@deleqtronica8733]

​@@michaelcorcoran8768because of security updates. Also the camera on this phone is not that good compared to flagships

[@ThePembetulan]

Use it till to dated about 5 month! In terms of design this phone look gorgeous! On paper the spec is outstanding but in the real world this was the last model that's what makes lg stop producing smartphones! This phone have the weakest data connection problem! Battery last about 5 to 6 hour only and the sound lack of bass and talking about the sound now after using it about 5 month my velvet have no sound and the mic not working at all no ringtone no video sound no notification tone you can hear coming from the speaker? Try reset back to factory default but the problem not fix?and if you install screen protections the proximity sensor would not work and the on display finger print sensor sensitivity also the worst! Selfie camera just forget it! The only good about this phone is the video stability and the wide angle camera !so this is my honest reviews after using it for 5 month and now I'm using the cheaper android phone better than velvet Infinix note 12 G99 pro 4G using 13R/256R with 5000 battery.

[@Jamie-lb7eh]

Maybe they stopped making them because they are impossible to figure out how to pair to a Bluetooth device. I've tried everything to no avail, it asks to put some numbered password. Where do I put this numbered password? 😡😡😡😡😡😡
