LG's mobile phone division has given itself a new coat of paint. With the Velvet, a 5G smartphone comes onto the market, which scores with a modern look, a powerful camera and extensive equipment.
We were amazed when we got the Velvet into the editorial office. We already knew the device from pictures, but in reality it is much more impressive. Above all, the smooth workmanship and the high-contrast display are very appealing at first glance.
If you are looking for a predecessor in the line-up of the technology giant, the G8 has to serve, but LG's real goal was to breathe new life into the somewhat outdated smartphone segment. And it succeeded.
Discreet- The Velvet's triple camera was placed discreetly on the back. Only the main notches are slightly raised, the other lenses and the LED flash are completely embedded in the back of the case.
Nice body:
The LG Velvet is flawlessly processed. No gaps or material irregularities disturb the overall picture. The front consists almost entirely of the 6.8-inch P-OLED screen. If you are right to ask yourself what is the difference between P-OLED and OLED? Well, first and foremost it is a marketing formulation, the technique behind the name is basically the same.
The resolution of the display is 2,460 x 1,080 pixels, the maximum brightness around 500 candela. In short: You just like to look at the display, it is crisp and sharp and all content can still be read without any problems even in direct sunlight. It is perfect for any type of app use or Mobilebet voucher, whether at home or on the go. The options for the voucher are varied, from handicap and result to goal scorer bets. Every common betting option is available.
In addition, thanks to the elongated design and the aspect ratio of 20.5: 9, the device is safe and secure in hand. While the display bezels are practically non-existent on the left and right, they disturb the otherwise modern overall picture a bit above and below. LG installed the front camera in a drop notch in the middle and dispensed with experiments such as a punch hole (display notch) or even a retractable lens.
The optical fingerprint scanner is located under the display glass and is perhaps a little too far below. It takes a comparatively long time to set up, but we didn't notice anything negative about the operation. The sensor could be operated easily at any time and responded quickly and reliably. The buttons on the left and right all have good pressure points.
In addition to the power button and the volume buttons, the Velvet also has a button for the Google Assistant. Those who use the digital helper will appreciate this. The USB-C and jack connections are on the bottom, the SIM card tray and a micro SD card are on the top.
Potent Triple Camera:
On the back, LG has managed to make the triple camera appear extremely discreet. The main lens is slightly raised, but both the wide-angle camera and the sensor for depth information are flush with the back of the display.
In general, it can be said that the back has been given an extremely chic coat of paint. Our test device came in the color Aurora White and looks really great. However, the glossy glass back also has to be referred to as a fingerprint magnet.
It is a double shame that LG does not include a case in the scope of delivery. In addition to the cell phone, there are only charging cables, power adapters and the SIM card tool in the packaging.
The quality of the camera is impressive, especially in good lighting conditions, the notch reveals its full strength and produces crisp, high-contrast and colorful images. When dusk falls, however, the results are a little washed out and also begin to rustle. This may also be due to the fact that an optical image stabilizer was not installed.

If you take pictures in poor light conditions with the help of a tripod, the results are much better.
With us: only two colors:
Even if LG advertises the Velvet in a number of color variants on its numerous international channels, the phone is only available from us in two versions (Aurora White and Aurora Gray).
Almost nothing to be desired:
The equipment that LG has given the Velvet is also very commendable. Dual speakers, IP68 certification, the latest 5G radio technology and wireless charging are real highlights, especially for a device from the mid-range price range. We have already mentioned the fingerprint scanner under the display, but the lack of a dual SIM function is a bit of a shame. From
