Editorial report

LG Velvet 5G UW technical sheet

The LG Velvet 5G UW suits buyers after a large display and water and dust protection; its main trade-off is a 4,300 mAh battery, which holds slightly less than average for phones of its time. Its 25 W fast charging is above average, while 9 W wireless charging is among the best, but neither changes the battery’s below-average capacity.

The 6.8-inch pOLED display has 395 ppi and an 88.6% screen-to-body ratio, among the best of its time. At 7.9 mm thick, the phone is also among the slimmest. It withstands water and dust (IP68) and knocks and drops (MIL-STD-810G); the IP68 rating covers immersion to 1.5 m. Storage is 128 GB and expandable, with 6 GB of RAM. The Snapdragon 765 5G puts its performance ahead of most phones launched around the same time.

The camera stands better than most: the setup includes a 48 MP camera and an 8 MP ultrawide. Connectivity is above average, with 5G, NFC and a 3.5 mm audio jack; stereo speakers are included too. Its overall NeoScore is 6.0. This is a fit for buyers who value a distinctive, large display, ruggedness and broad connections, and can accept a battery capacity slightly below the norm in return for both fast wired and wireless charging.
