A third version of the beautiful LG Velvet is on the way with 5G speeds and a lower price
The 5G-enabled Velvet is arguably the most interesting smartphone released by LG in a long time, and although the company inexplicably held off its US commercial debut until last week, the reasonably powerful and gloriously stylish 6.8-incher is up for grabs now… at a lower price than expected a couple of months ago.
The MediaTek Dimensity 800 SoC is currently found inside China-first phones like the ZTE Axon 11 SE or Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro, which doesn’t make us very hopeful that we’ll ever see this third member of the LG Velvet lineup officially released in the US.
Interestingly, the 420 dpi density also revealed by Google’s Play Console documents strongly suggests that this thing will come with a smaller screen than the 6.8-inch LG Velvet 5G. The display resolution is apparently unchanged, at 2460 x 1080 pixels, and Android 10 is unsurprisingly set to run the software show out the box.
