Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Let’s talk about the LG Velvet!”.
So there’s this new phone line from LG called the LG velvet. It was just announced in South Korea, even though we’ve seen a lot of rumors coming out in the last couple of months about it, but what’s really exciting about it is that it feels like it’s. A new direction for LG, I think one of LG’s biggest problems over the last couple of years – is that it’s really stubborn and just has a refusal to change. I mean the phone designs haven’t really changed that much, although the v60 is probably one of the best designs they’ve made recently and the UI looks like it’s from 2013. So a lot of people are really excited about the velvet because it feels like it could be. A new direction for LG they’ve kind of made all these phones that look pretty similar over the last few years, although that v60 is probably the best-looking from they’ve made in a few years, primarily because of that extra camera. But the velvet just seems like it’s.
Finally, a like fashion-forward trendy forward phone and that’s something that LG really needs because they’ve always been really good on paper, but in reality people just want to pick up Samsung’s or iPhones, and they really need a brand refresh. And luckily, the velvet actually continues a lot of the things that people really liked about: LG phones. It’S still got a headphone jack and expandable storage and an ip68 rating and wireless charging. I think the one thing that people are going to be a little confused on or a little divided on is the snapdragon 765 processor. Now, like I mentioned in my video about the pixel 5 and the potential for that phone to have a snapdragon 765. I really don’t think this is a bad thing.
765 has got an integrated 5g modem, which means it’s smaller, it’s going to be cheaper and you don’t really have to deal with all the extra power and cost that comes along with the 865. I’M sure you definitely miss a few things from a 65 powered phones. It’S not gon na be as fast, and I can’t do two gigapixel per second processing which enables things like a que video.
But honestly, I feel like a lot of people, don’t really care about those things and they care more about things like battery life, which the 765 is going to enable and again it’s got that integrated 5g modems. So that’s not gon na be a problem either. Now something that’s definitely a little weird about the LG velvet series is the price.
Lg is basically targeting this as a flagship phone. It just doesn’t have the same flagship specs as something like the LG v 60. It’S only got two main cameras, a wide and a main camera, and it’s not as high resolution. It’S got a smaller battery. It doesn’t have an age 65, but actually cost slightly more than the v60 in South Korea. But I think LG is actually targeting this.
As a more fashion-forward design forward phone, there are a lot of products that are not as technically capable but still are more expensive, just because the design is really nice and people want these phones. I mean, if you look at the LG velvet just from the back. There’S like a ton of different colors, there’s all these super bright vivid colors, and it’s also got this really nice camera array. That is supposed to look like a raindrop coming down the back of the phone, and I think it looks really good. I’M really happy to see that LG is moving in a new design forward fashion. It just depends on if people are gon na pick up on that. Personally, I think this is what LG needs to get back in the market again if they can make their design really futuristic and fashion-forward if they can revamp their UI and make it futuristic in fashion forward, still have most of those really pro specs that a lot Of people want, and just not necessarily use the a 65 or quite as good cameras. I think that that is a phone that could sell pretty. Well, we still don’t know when this is coming to global markets. We don’t know how much it’s going to cost when it comes to global markets, but I think this might be what LG needs to get back in the game. So I really want to open the floor up to you guys. Do you guys think that the LG velvet is going to be the phone that solidifies LG back in the market? Is it kind of totally flop because the specs aren’t quite there with the v60? Let me know in the comments: I’m definitely gon na go down there and engage with you guys and until next time, I’ll catch you in the next article .
