<\/p>\nWhat is somewhat unexpected though is the fact that LG is reportedly using the Snapdragon 845 processor in the phone. The Snapdragon 845 is a two-year-old chipset used in 2018’s flagship phones like the Galaxy S9 series<\/a>, HTC U12 Plus<\/a>, and the LG G7<\/a>.<\/p>\n Toranji<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Snapdragon 845<\/a> is still a powerful proposition (especially when it comes to the GPU), but the main concern we have is that chipmakers tend to phase out support for older silicon. So that could mean the LG Velvet 4G is left in the lurch when it comes to updates compared to phones with more modern processors.<\/p>\n Otherwise, the Iranian outlet also reports that the phone is packing 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a price tag that’s ~20% cheaper than the 5G-enabled LG Velvet. For what it’s worth, the 5G model retails for ~$757 in Korea, which means the 4G model could retail for ~$600.<\/p>\n We haven’t heard of this website before, so we’d definitely take this story with a grain of salt. But between the images and screenshot of apparent specs, it certainly looks like the real deal. In any event, we’ve contacted LG for more details and will update the article when\/if they get back to us.<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Hadlee Simons<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"The](\"https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/lg-velvet-4g-toranji-back-1200x675.jpg\")
