Ii love the review. Clear and concise I totally agree with you about the thought process of LG management concerning pricing . As a life-long LG fan I have to come to the conclusion that they have no problem letting horrible marketing stand in the way of great phones...
Thank you for starting the review right off the bat and not waste 2-3min making pretentious commentary about some other phone or company that is not entirely related to the phone at hand. Subscribing because of that.
Good review. In Korea, at least, there were some good deals for preorders through Coupang - got 200,000 off the list price of KRW 890,000, so that comes to be about $570. Then LG also threw in an LG Puricare Mini, which retails around KRW 200,000. So I was quite happy with that (plus I was upgrading after three years of my G6, so I'm perfectly content with my "G9" 😅)

Watching on my trusty LG G6 😊 Will you guys be reviewing the LG Stylo 6 too? That phone piqued my interest because of the fairly inexpensive pricing but with a huge 6.8" 1080p screen
I don't know if I bought a faulty device. I bought the t-mobile variant. However, the battery isn't as good as I thought. It looses 5 percent of battery with sparse browsing within an hour. And that's with extended battery saver on, and brightness set to 12%. Is this normal battery drainage for the phone? Did anyone notice this when theirs was new?
The notch is a deal breaker for me but I do love LG smartphones. All my Android devices since day one were LG's. Watching this video on an LG Stylo 5X.
Can some advise me? My G4 is almost 5 years old now and looking to upgrade. Should I choose the G8, V60, K61 or wait for the Velvet? Camera and longevity are most important to me. Any thoughts?
They put a high price tag because of the drop of price: „look, the phone got cheaper.“ That’s clearly a scam in my eyes. And I wanted this to replace my iPhone XR...
@@tessat1693 It's subjective. Some people appreciate the aesthetic and it does make a phone feel smaller in the hand. But, it also increases the cost of the phone, makes it more fragile and your hand accidentally touches the screen when holding it. Since phones are designed with a price in mind, i'd say the quad dac was more important to include than a curved screen.
I have the v60 my bro has the Velvet. If you adjust the EQ settings right on the Velvet the headphone sounds are really impressive. The bigger differences is actually camera and battery.
@@douglassgarvey653 I'm always disappointed by LGs pricing and features. All they need is a mid range phone with a good dac, like the audiophile version of Google pixel 4a. They keep spending money on random things instead of using their mature tech, which at this point won't cost them anything.
@@spoots1234 Honestly I was lost as well when I seen a dac would not be included into the Velvet. I just assumed LG would install the dac in all their newer mid and top tier phones. Maybe that'll change in the Velvet 2
The UI really looks like ONE UI. Why LG? I loved their phone in 2017 and below because looks so special than others. I see this and I don't see any special thing anymore.
Sadly LG killed the G9 and went with the Velvet. Maybe it's worth $100-150 over a $450 phone but probably not $300. I wish they had included a Quad DAC, then I might have considered it.
I had to replace this phone twice and return both of them. this phone has big problem with wifi. you just start face time and it will get hot around the front facing camera less than 10 minutes and drop out the wifi and won't let you connect until it cools off or restart. it will use your cell data. I disable switching to cell data from wifi if wifi no good. but it will never make difference. Anyone else has the same issue? I think they used very very crappy cheap moden cheapest in this phone.
I just ordered this phone bc it has bluetooth 5.1 and has 5g. Just a few minutes after ordering I saw people complain about the sound. Damn I hope its not that bad or I will return it. My Huawei P20 pro has Dolby Atmos and it's great.
@@hxsm8090 I returned it after checking it for 10 minutes lol. Display colors are not accurate at all and the sound is bad like I've read in the reviews. I went for a Samsung S21 Ultra instead which ofc is much more expensive but worth it for the next 5 years.
😂😂😂😂 overpriced yeah ok. If this is overpriced then so was the galaxy s9 and the galaxy a71 5g. And how often did you end up maxing out or even using most of the SD 845s power? If you hardly ever then why? Why are you complaining about a $600 phone not being a ton more powerful? And at least lg is giving a more fleshed out phone for only $100 more than the worse in almost every way galaxy a71 5g. With the velvet you get wireless charging, stereo speakers, built in screen recording, ip68 water and dust resistance, 3d surround sound sofware, aptx HD support, a headphone jack only beaten by external dacs and other lg phones, gorilla glass 5 instead of 3, high sensitivity mics for better call quality and video recording, a far better screen in terms of brightness and vividness especially when watching videos, and aluminum body, active pen support, support for optional accessories like a dual screen case, up to 2TB of expandable storage, and probably more. ALL OF WHICH THE GALAXY A71 5G DOES NOT HAVE. And Samsung still expects people to pay $500 for it. If i bought that galaxy and my friend showed off their $100 more lg velvet id be fucking pissed that i just spent $500 when i couldve soent $100 more and gotten $300 worth of extra features.
@@subject204ghost3 hey man, i am not fan of samsung at least in india. I will not compare lg with Samsung. Because in past lg had launched a number of phones which are far better from samsung. I just want to tell that company had ruined this phone by giving a notch. It will be better if this phone come without notch than this phone will be incredible. Lg is very good their phone do not get the exposure and always underrated. Now lg has come with wing. As per fhe video this time lg had done a great job regarding the wing.

I'm a fan of LG phones, but even I thought this phone should not be priced more than $599. For $749 you are better off getting a oneplus 8 or even the iPhone 11.
3D sound engine u say it doesnt help the sound engine at all. Another reviewer i listen to says it improves the sound engine alot. So who are we suppose to listen to then!? I feel reviewers into phones still need to work on being more specific into why or what difference there are or there isnt between having 3D engine on to having it off.!!
Yeah the front doesn't have a unique look, there's no gold lining on the sides. Even the back is not embedded with diamond crystals. So, that's not unique either. You are right
Man, for every single good thing you talked about for this phone, you quickly mentioned like 2 negative things you didn't like. Either this phone is completely horrible, or you just really didn't like it. No wonder LG stopped making phones.
Why would you chose this Velvet over the V60? It's just a spin-off? Nah, I'd rather have a G9 with the 865processer & the 32bit DAC? It's no wonder LG keeps losing 💰? Updates & OS need improvement. This phone makes no sense!
Wow I'm an LG fan who had every G phone since the G2. There is literally nothing here for me. Its just a boring underpowered phone with no features. Who are they aiming this at. Sad to say my G8 is my last LG phone. Even the V60 has too many compromises. LG what are you doing!
Learn how to review...focus on the key points!!! I agree that 750 is too high, but HAVE YOU MENTIONED IT COMES WITH A SECONDARY DISPLAY??? With that the pricing should be around 600... Minus that..than I say 450
It does NOT comes with a secondary display in Korea. We have to pay extra money for that. Im Korean who bought that phone yesterday, so i know the truth. Its kinda expensive consider to its spec, but i decided to get one because of that gorgeous disign and colour.
@@kfx3907 even lg v60 has the same case.. some are offering with in bundle..some are not... But that's not the main point, the main point was to focus on the key pros n cons.. and I don't see this guy mentioned any positive things. For me, i would go for this mostly cz of the dual screen!!!
Thank you! That's the first time I've heard a reviewer mention the screen protector issues with curved screens.
Get a plastic one, may not prevent drops but deals with scratches and stays on. The phone does have gorilla Glass 5
All curved screen designed phone have such problems

This was a very good review tbank u :)
LG and Samsung are both Korean companies so some features are bound to be similar between the two phones. Great review👍

Please how is the camera?
I cant get the dual case anywhere for mine :(
Not bad LG , not bad at all!! Pretty impressed with Lg’s new velvet smartphones and I like the new decisions that they’re making
Unfortunately they quit making phones ):
Can you screen record
facebook messenger video calls with audio on that phone?
Can someone explain to me what is " QUAD DAC?
What will we do with lg
Is this available in ph?? Where to buy?
Now that the price is right...ill be getting this soon....hopefully!
considering the LG sell the V60 for $800, this phone should not be priced at $750
more like 550$
Justus Gichuki This phone should be priced at $549 or less
Does the dual screen case sold separately? Or comes in the box?
Sold separatly.

They made the wrong move with the notch and the thicker top and bottom bezzel, but I think that's because they use a "Plastic Oled Display."
