LG Velvet key specs officially confirmed ahead of May 7 launch

LG has officially revealed key details about the LG Velvet which is set to launch in an online event on May 7. The South Korean company has revealed almost all information about the device almost a week in advance. LG also confirmed the devices will go on sale in South Korea on May 15. The device did go through the usual rounds of leaks and rumours. The recent announcement a week before launch simply confirms all the details.

LG Velvet hardware specs and features

The LG Velvet is a 5G-powered smartphone that rocks a large 6.8-inch display which LG is calling the Cinema FullVision display because of the tall 20.5:9 aspect ratio. It’s a fast mid-ranger with the Snapdragon 765 under the hood which comes with an integrated 5G modem.

The rear panel of the phone rocks a triple camera setup with a ‘raindrop’ design. The camera hardware includes a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 5MP depth sensor. To aid in video shooting, there’s a ‘Voice Out Focus’ feature that cleans the audio of background noises. There’s also an interesting ASMR recording mode.

The LG Velvet comes with a 4,300mAh battery and a ‘low-power software algorithm’ that’s apparently LG’s own and should keep power consumption on the down-low. The phone also comes with stereo speakers and supports LG’s Dual Screen and Stylus accessories. LG has confirmed the phone will be available in Aurora White, Aurora Grey, Aurora Green, and Illusion Sunset.

LG has not disclosed the price of the LG Velvet yet. The phone will be sold through all three major carriers in South Korea from May 15. More details on the pricing and availability will be revealed on May 7 at the online event.
