The LG Velvet<\/a> is about to launch in the US, although your choice of carrier will dictate when you can get it.<\/p>\n LG has announced<\/a> that the Velvet 5G will be available through AT&T<\/a> on July 22 for $599, or well below the $900 you’d pay for an up-to-the-minute flagship like the V60<\/a>. However, you’ll have to wait to buy it through T-Mobile or Verizon (disclaimer: this author also writes for Verizon-owned Engadget<\/em>), both of which will make the Velvet available later this summer. Verizon’s model will offer access to both ultra wideband and low-band 5G.<\/p>\n The phone maker didn’t mention availability of a carrier-independent model through its website<\/a>, but did say that US customers will get a range of colors including Aurora Grey, Aurora Silver, Aurora Red, and Pink White. Not all carriers will carry the same color options.<\/p>\n If you’re looking to purchase the Dual Screen accessory for the Velvet, that’ll be an extra $200.<\/p>\n See also: <\/strong>LG Velvet review: Style points<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/72H0_5i4FVs<\/a><\/p>\n The underlying hardware will be the same, at least. LG is focusing on the audiovisual experience with a 6.8-inch, 1080p P-OLED screen and stereo speakers with a sound-enriching 3D Sound Engine. It’s in other areas where LG trims costs. The Velvet is using an upper mid-range Snapdragon 765G chip with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. The 4,300mAh battery is average for the size. You’ll also find a 48MP primary rear camera, an 8MP wide-angle cam, a 5MP depth sensor, and a 16MP front shooter for selfies.<\/p>\n We found that the phone wasn’t as responsive as high-end phones and had merely adequate camera quality. However, the outstanding display, strong audio quality, and eye-catching design made up for those shortcomings. And at $599, you’re getting quite a lot from a mainstream, 5G-capable smartphone. With that said, the base OnePlus 8<\/a> offers faster performance and improved battery life for $100 more — it’s worth considering if your budget has a little more room. You also might want to consider the OnePlus Nord<\/a>, which undercuts the Velvet, though isn’t readily available in the US<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Jon Fingas<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"See Campaign: <\/strong>https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/lg-velvet-1105710\/<\/a>
