LG has been teasing the launch of its upcoming smartphone, LG Velvet, over the past month. The South Korean giant has already shared the design, the complete internal specs, and even the availability details ahead of launch. And today, we finally learned the price tag for LG Velvet, which is said to be the G-series replacement. The device includes a curved design, raindrop-style cameras, and the Snapdragon 765G chipset onboard.
LG is sticking with a notch instead of the punch-hole cutout that most phone makers are adopting in 2020. And it’s perfectly fine. LG Velvet sports a 6.8-inch Full-HD+ OLED display with curved edges on both sides. The display boasts a 20.5:9 aspect ratio and 2340 × 1080-pixel resolution.
As the title already tells you, LG Velvet is not a flagship smartphone. It is powered by Snapdragon 765G chipset from Qualcomm. There’s 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage onboard but the latter can be expanded up to 1TB using a microSD card. The device is backed by the company’s custom skin based on Android 10.
LG Velvet has been priced at 899,800 won (around Rs. 55,800 or $735) in South Korea. You will be surprised to know that the LG Velvet has launched with a price tag slightly higher than last year’s G8 ThinQ flagship.
