LG recently launched a couple of really unique smartphones recently, the LG Wing and LG Velvet Dual Screen. Both of these smartphones have some really interesting and unique features, with the Wing featuring a swivelling display and the Velvet featuring a really cool design and dual screen support. Well, in this article, I am going to focus on the LG Velvet Dual Screen because at its price of Rs. 36,990, it does seem like a pretty good option. So, what makes the LG Velvet Dual Screen exciting? Here are 4 features that make the LG Velvet Dual Screen an exciting new smartphone:
The LG Velvet Dual Screen has a glass and metal design that’s one of the most refreshing designs of 2020. The front has a curved display and that’s nice but the highlight here has to be the back. To be honest, I really like the different gradient variants of the LG Velvet Dual Screen but we have the Black variant and it looks sleek, minimalistic and very modern. The best part about this back is that it has a very minor camera bump on the main camera sensor while the rest of the cameras sit absolutely flush with the design. Plus, there’s no big camera cutout or anything and that looks very unique.
Dual Screens
Coming to what’s definitely the big highlight of the LG Velvet Dual Screen, the dual screen accessory. This is sold separately but you can get this and the phone at Rs. 44,990. Anyway, the dual screen accessory, which by the way, attaches pretty easily to the phone elevates the smartphone experience of the Velvet to another level. First of all, just using a phone with dual screens is a lot of fun and secondly, I like that the secondary display is the same as the main display. Both the displays are 6.8″ P-OLED FHD+ displays of the same quality. There’s also the external monochrome screen, or Cover display, which shows you the time and notification icons.
The dual screens are definitely one of the USPs of LG Velvet Dual Screen and it does work well for multitasking and gaming, in particular.
LG has always been quietly innovative when it comes to smartphone cameras, so it’s no surprise that the LG Velvet Dual Screen has a very capable camera setup. The phone has a 48MP f/1.8 main camera, an 8MP f/2.2 ultra wide camera and a 5MP f/2.4 depth sensor. Specs apart, I have found the camera performance from the LG Velvet Dual Screen to be decent so far in my brief usage. I mean, the cameras aren’t the focus of the LG Velvet Dual Screen, so it’s understandable that it does not have the absolute best cameras.
Another area where the LG Velvet Dual Screen excels is on the multimedia front. There are three reasons for that. First is the display. The P-OLED panel on the LG Velvet Dual Screen has all the good OLED trails like vibrancy, deep blacks and good brightness levels. Second is the dual stereo speaker setup, which I have found to be loud and fairly clear all around. The third reason for the great multimedia experience are the dual screens.
