Editorial report

LG Velvet 4G technical sheet

The LG Velvet 4G suits buyers after a large display and slim glass design, provided a 60 Hz refresh rate is an acceptable trade-off. That rate is lower than on most phones of its time. Its 6.8-inch pOLED display has a pixel density of 395 ppi, above average, while the overall display and design rank among the best of the period.

The Snapdragon 845 scores 425,451 in AnTuTu v10, above average, and performance and hardware also stand above average overall. The camera and battery are above average as complete categories. Capacity is an average 4,300 mAh, while 25 W fast charging is above average and 9 W wireless charging is included. The main camera records 4K video at 30 fps, and an ultrawide camera is part of the rear setup.

The glass body has IP68 and MIL-STD-810G protection. Storage is 128 GB and expandable; other practical inclusions are NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and Android 10. Taken as a whole, the LG Velvet 4G stands better than most phones launched around the same time and earns a NeoScore of 5.6. It is a compelling choice for its screen and design, with the clear compromise of a 60 Hz display.
