LG Velvet will have an even cheaper, non-5G version, and more colors
The official announcement for Korea already previewed the LG Velvet specs and the new “raindrop” rear-facing camera with three imaging sensors and an LED flash arranged vertically in descending order by size and a “symmetrical, flowing form factor” described as “both pleasing to the eye and pleasing to touch.”

A cheaper, non-5G LG Velvet model appears
A surprise version of the LG Velvet has popped up over at the cross-platform Geekbench database, as well as at the Wi-fi certification consortium. While it looks pretty much like the 5G model powered by the Snapdragon 765, this LM-G910 model is running on… two-year old Snapdragon 845, carrying 6GB RAM.
The price of the LTE version is said to be at least 20% cheaper than the 5G-laden LG Velvet, which may bring it in the sub-$500 category, and if it keeps the rest of the specs and the svelte design, LG may have another winning strategy. Mum’s the word on the US debut of both the LTE and the 5G models of the LG Velvet, but we should know more before June rolls over.
