    I actually really like the LG Velvet's look. Not having an outline around the camera grouping is just different enough to make it stand out from all other phones. I think the whole thing looks beautiful.

      hands down the best phone I have ever owned, I miss when LG was quirky with their phones, but the thing is I bought that phone with android 4.2.2 and it never received any updates, not even security patches, LG is terrible with software updates but otherwise they were the most innovative brand in the smartphone scene.
