it feels outdated compared to other devices
screen quality
The quality degrades a bit in very dark settings
There s no special DAC
Velvet is currently only available at AT&T
affect day-to-day usage
Very High graphics quality and High frame rate settings
The big hinge between the two displays is definitely distracting when using any app
stuttering under heavy load - mostly when quickly switching apps
the camera array laid out like a water drop falling
The photos from the main sensor are often lacking in a bit of brightness
not great and is missing the night mode option
it s over to third-parties and importing
uninspired
unexciting
boring
bland
do look softer in very poor lighting
have prices for all regions at the time of review
the ultra-wide is basic and zoom is purely digital
Details become fuzzy when there s not enough light
it refuses to install on our LG Velvet
big plastic gap between the displays makes it useless for video
but poor as the sun started to set
downside of the camera was it struggled in low light situations
lack of a fast display and out of this world telescopic camera

shot somewhat blurred around its edges
Low-light snaps are hit-and-miss too
heavy curves and fairly thin rim
painful to cover up the back of this phone
the display lacks some of the newer tech you ll find in the Moto Edge
The full screen keyboard that takes over the panel is also poor
the menus are clogged up and the heavy use of strong translucency effects
the updated Dual Screen does lose the front reflective side
not picking up as much of the detail and color in scenes
LG Velvet is only available in the U
nice to see multi-gigabit speeds in the home

frustratingly slow fingerprint scanner
relatively sluggish in-screen fingerprint scanner
the cameras are somewhat lacking
sounds a little thin at higher volume levels
You are using an outdated browser
its cameras are slightly lacking
low-light areas caused the cameras to suffer
The Velvet is heavily tapered on the sides
don't quite measure up to more expensive phones
defaults to having no app drawer or visible control buttons
Losing the control buttons gives you more screen real estate

the ultra-wide lens can only do 1080p
flagship phones are getting really expensive
work with other Dual Screen accessories
it was actually really heavy and bulky
not filled with annoying software pop-ups
the Velvet is not the best option out there
Samsung Galaxy phones from a couple of years ago
LG Rollable phone not put on hold
No accents
curves
patterns or anything
some of its specs and features are a bit outdated

While it's not perfect, LG's Velvet is a delight to use. It's got a sleek, unique design, an excellent camera for its price point, and perhaps most interestingly, it has a MediaTek Dimensity chipset.
