LG Velvet - Is LG BACK?! By TechZG

Lg velvet a resurrection: a savior for LG, just maybe sale. Gee, I've had a torrid time in recent years when it comes to smartphone sales, moving from a very solid player in the smartphone industry to really a forgotten piece of history compared to the glory days anyway, before it was arrival to some of the biggest names in the industry. But now it barely makes up enough sales to constitute even telling us how many it sells and just makes up the others' column when it comes to sales volume data, but hey. Let's just pause for a second and admire this new phone from LG, the LG velvet, and this is the thing that LG think will resurrect their fortunes and bring them back into consumer consciousness. We got news of the LG velvet last week, some sketches some teasers and some information about what exactly the phone might be. According to LG, they want to bring back a unique design to smartphones again that goes against the current design.

Language of smartphones, which is essentially a slab with a bigger camera bump on the back so enter the water drop or raindrop inspired camera array and more premium materials. We also heard from LG that this may be a more affordable phone and use a mid-range chipset. Many people speculated it might be the snapdragon 765 G, and actually today, that was confirmed officially by LG and well, let's just say: I like it, but I am skeptical too about how successful it can be. The chipset is very capable overall, the snapdragon 765 G is the brand-new mid-range chipset from Snapdragon. It's got 5g, it's pretty powerful, and it's already been used in a few mid-range type of Chinese phones like the rip UK 30.

Also, the Xiaomi me 10. Lite is supposedly going to use that chipset when it does come out very soon. The Bevy's ed6 uses it some ring devices from OPPO and also a real mean device. The X 50 also uses that chipset. Those phones, though, are relatively quite cheap, not something that LG usually does.

Although good news LG are apparently going on something called an offensive. Pricing strategy basically means they're going to be charging less money for their products. Another area that LG will focus on is design. In fact, the official trailer that they gave us for the LG velvet is literally called lg velvet design, the video showcases its 3d arc and raindrop camera array design a triple camera arrangement, with an LED flash all arranged in a vertical descending order in terms of size. The 3d art design apparently refers to the curve on the screen and on the chassis at the back being exactly the same and looking like a perfectly rounded curve from front to back a nice design won't be enough to sway consumers, though over other SPENT out phones from red-meat, Xiaomi and so on.

But the addition of a three and a half millimeter headphone jack is definitely a starting point. Apparently stereo speakers in the device is definitely a good spec too, and the design in general definitely is more premium is with its curves. If it has a curved screen, it would definitely be an OLED screen as well, which is definitely different to the cheaper Snapdragon 765 G phones that have currently been released. But the confirmation in the official video that it uses an u-shaped notch, is a little perplexing. It's not a terrible design by any means.

It's a very neat design. However. The entire Android world has moved away from that design right now in 2020, literally every phone that I've seen so far has a cutout design or a hole-punch design in the screen. So it immediately serves to make the design on the screen of this phone look old, even though it may not be a bad design. Some people may prefer it, but in terms of the competition everyone has moved away from that.

So it immediately looks like a 20-18 phone rather than a modern new phone early rumors are suggesting a forty, eight megapixel main image sensor, 4000 million power battery and the screen being, maybe as big as six point nine inches, which is really huge and is one of the biggest screens in the industry. Right now that goes head-to-head with the s20 ultra in terms of screen size, it will be coming to Korea, obviously, but apparently also finding its way to Europe America Japan, possibly some other markets too. Maybe for about 800,000 Korean Won, which is about 650 US dollars, whether the phone will be able to turn around LG's fortunes I guess we'll have to wait and see. Let me know your comments. Do you think this is a good-looking phone good, specs good price, or do you think it just won't be able to compete with the Chinese brands, those spec tout phones at lower prices?

That's it for now go see you in the next one.
