Great review! I have T-Mobile and went in yesterday to look at it. They just got it in so it wasn't displayed yet. I have the One Plus 6T now. I went ahead and ordered the Velvet online since they didn't have the color I wanted. I like the dual screen option so I may look into getting that in the future. I am glad I ordered now since I saw your review.
Thank you for the review. I have had the velvet 5g for 5 days now and I'm really happy. I came from a pixel 3. Camera isn't pixel but it is still great
I'm actually really into this phone as LG's start in revamping their phone series. What's I'm not into is having to pay an extra $100 just to have it on Verizon 😭
T-mobile lowered the Velvet for $96 while Verizon has it at full retail price. Do the math, unless you wish to throw money 💰 away. Unfortunately the main reason T-Mobile decided to lower LG phones is primarily because LG is not going to release any more models. They have decided to pull out of cell phones due to the popularity & competition of Samsung & Apple models.
Great video. Wound up picking up the LGV60. LOVE that phone, but this phone will be great as well. Thought about picking this one up but couldn't find out when they would release it with T-Mobile, so went on and picked up the LGV60 for only $100 more.
Lovely phone! Love the features and options that are missing on almost every other phone. Wacom stylus. Dual screen. SD card. Headphone jack. No plastic. Google Button. No huge camera module Large oled 5G. And if you shop around it can be under $500 easy. I think it is much better tjan the surface dual and galaxy fold valuewise while offering some of those features. The ace is you can use it as a single screen the choice is yours. I hope LG gets their hinge fown to the surface duo size work on their automode add a better wide angle and maybe bring back the quad dac in the future with out raising the price. Their is also a market for a much smaller Velvet maybe 5.8 to 6.1. Face I'd or maybe retina with masks would be goid even if not as secure. A traditional no look finger print scanner is much better than all the inscreen ones please bring it back.
I just recently got an LG Velvet 5G phone.. I'm living in Canada. I had to upgrade, due to my LG G8 ThinQ dropping and breaking the back glass, where the camera and thumbprint sensor resides. However, I also learned recently, that LG will no longer be focusing on smartphones. They will be pulling out of the mobile market and only concentrating on smart home products.
Great review. Love the phone. Wish the cameras were a bit better but I think it's a software issue with over sharpening and noise that can be resolved through an update.
I wish i.could find the dual screen for my at&t LG velvet.. its impossible to find one not even at&t sells them anymore i love my velvet so much my favorite phone ever..
I just purchased as of a few days ago the LG velvet 5G and I love it. I looked at the reviews the ones that you read and they were really putting down this phone meaning what they think the camera should be better for the price and everything you talked about cuz just not as good even on all the other Live reviews I've watched yours is by far the best that makes me feel confident in this phone and all the ways that I needed to be because I'm not a gamer but I sing on the Smule app and record songs and do live video recordings when I'm singing and I'm just feeling confident that the camera as well as the speaker sound will work well for me. I haven't then back on Smule because and I got a new phone I haven't been able to get back in 2 mi profile page because I don't remember my password for my old email account I don't know why when I joined it use my old email account but I will be back in soon I'm working on it thank you for excellent review of this phone :-)
Thanks for the video I just wanted to know where do you buy this dual screen I may not need it right away but it's good to know Stay safe in this crazy new world
Yeah. I don't know why they don't have them available unlocked. Makes no sense to me. And also, it's supposed to be available on other carriers by the end of summer according to LG
@@TechOdyssey Yes, heard that as well but my phone stopped changing and no one here had the V60 or Velvet in shock so I'm using an A71 Samsung. Not bad tbh. Huge phone. When they come to TMobile (hopefully in Red) ill switch then to it or the Pixel 5A.
A question at the end of the introduction below; I have an LG v40. Works fine. I like the V60, but I think it is too big. If the v60 was between its current size and the size of the v40 I would have had it already. Well, the Velvet is only very slightly smaller than the v60, but still "smaller". And for that reason and interest me. So here's the question for those that may know. Would the Velvet actually be an improvement over the v40? I mainly use it to stream videos such as RUclips or Netflix. And routine internet connections and searches and so forth and for taking videos and pictures. No gaming
Good luck getting the dual screen with T-Mobile, they don't offer it. They have the Velvet for $600 ($588) and then if you want the dual screen, that works with the T-Mobile phone, you have to pick up it from LG for 200 bucks.
Does anyone else have problems with their backlight going out each and every time you touch any button? Also is the second screen included in the price, and come with the LG velvet?
First time watching one of your videos, really like it. My galaxy 9s has cracked screen, so I'm upgrading. Can't decide between the velvet or the A71 5g. Flip back and forth between lg and samsung and like both brands. Guess the velvet based on looks. What say you?!
@@jimmoberly308 so far so good it takes getting adjust to. I broke the screen of my A70 loved the A70 so much. However I am trying to figure out the back buttons on the velvet.
@@aslanjudah33 no, not on mine, it shattered starting at a corner of the vol dn button. The back is glass, on this one. It hasn't been dropped but i do keep it in my front pocket.
I purchased this thing brand new sealed from someone for $200 CAD ($158.54 USD). 100000000000000% worth the money. Good screen, fast, good battery, 128GB Storage, pretty good camera, great chipset, 5G, Fingerprint sensor (I don't like Face-Id because of the masks), Always On Display and USB-C. Worth $158 USD. Considering that for $158 companies are just clearing there old phones from the stone age, the phones are bad and will probably never get another software update.
@@johnnyjones2220 Im getting 5G and 4G wifi better then my iPhone XS. And for bluetooth, I only use it with my Razer Hammerheads and they worl like a charm. And also, this phone is fast for the price.
i have a Blackberry KeyOne , which i love ! but getting old ,starting to show its age....should i wait for the new BBerry or buy this LG Velvet? your thoughts
The velvet is a really good phone and if you can get a good deal and want to upgrade, I don't think you'll be disappointed. But if you upgrade would you still want the new Blackberry next year? Is this a permanent replacement phone or a filler until the new one comes out?,
@@TechOdyssey a 2 yr plan with my provider here in Canada , so for 2 yrs i'll be stuck with LG LOL, in 2 yrs if ever Bberry phone is still alive and awesome , will study seriously to go back to my first Love Balckberrys. thanks i really enjoy your reviews, in Canada the LG is $750 btw., and like you said I will not pay over $1000 for a cell phone, i mean cell phones are up to $2500 which is nuts! have a great day and thanks again
@@superalain1961 I don't have a preference but any class 10 SDHC should be fine. You can pick up 256/512 pretty reasonably priced now'days. Just find one for sale on Best Buy or Amazon
V60 blew Velvet a mile because V60 is a powerful phone with full features. There is a reason why Velvet is cheaper than V60 because it lacked some features like OIS and etc. Velvet got only 300k antutu benchmark vs V60 got 600k antutu benchmark. But if you don't mind spending around $100 more, then go for V60. On Ebay $400 for brand new V60 and $270 for brand new Velvet. If you use your phone just for talking, texting, light gaming, and social media, Velvet is more than enough. If you use your phone for heavy gaming and graphic, then V60 is the best route to go for.
About $12 difference in price. The T-Mobile velvet variant has a different processor that's supposedly better than the 765g. Having a second screen is a nice option to have sometime in the future when the price of the screen case goes down.
I'm not sure what the carrier deals look like. I received both to review. I know the pricing for the phone is $599 but beyond that I'm not sure what ATT and LG are offering, or what will happen when they got TMO and Verizon
@@TechOdyssey that's funny, cause all my friends who have phones with facial recognition, most of whom have itrash phones, don't even use the feature, it's a stupid , useless feature.
This phone is bullshit not worth the money ,way to slippery ,and it had to get to your Icons always brings you to places you don’t want to go .it takes a long time to get to your main screen my poor fingers are soar from swiping to get into thing I want .If I had my time back I would of never ever bought it .
you dont need to swipe home,change settings in display and go for "buttons" instead of "gestures".You end up with swiping because "gestures" is default.
I've had my Velvet for 3 years now. This is the first balanced review I've seen. And I don't take a hard hit paying for it.
I just ordered a Velvet ... Partly due to your review. Nice work Adam!
Oh cool. Hope you enjoy it!
Did you get one . ive had one for a month love it
Have you had an issue with the back glass breaking
@@baddad1357 nope had a case from day one

Did u buy the Velvet? :D

Great info and looks like good value for the price 👍
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
An other great honest review. See you again.
Thank you.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
Lovely phone!
Love the features and options that are missing on almost every other phone.
Wacom stylus. Dual screen. SD card. Headphone jack. No plastic. Google Button. No huge camera module
Large oled 5G. And if you shop around it can be under $500 easy.
I think it is much better tjan the surface dual and galaxy fold valuewise while offering some of those features.
The ace is you can use it as a single screen the choice is yours.
I hope LG gets their hinge fown to the surface duo size work on their automode add a better wide angle and maybe bring back the quad dac in the future with out raising the price.
Their is also a market for a much smaller Velvet maybe 5.8 to 6.1.
Face I'd or maybe retina with masks would be goid even if not as secure.
A traditional no look finger print scanner is much better than all the inscreen ones please bring it back.
Got to remember T-Mobile doesn’t use the snap dragon chip set, they use the centennial 1000, unsure what difference that will make
I made this video well before the TMobile version came out and anyone knew it has the mediatek chip in it
Great video thanks for this 😁
So sad the dual screen does not come with the phone in South Africa! Loving how it looks tho. Thanks for the awesome review. It was really useful
Sorry that it's not available over there. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching
Solid review👍
Dual Screen case is an extra $200 or so. - get the 4D parallax wallpaper, and the Droid Dash cam APP. Perfection !!

To bad its there last phone. I picked one up last week with duel screen for 400 Aussie dollars.
It's such a good phone. It's so frustrating because I feel like 2020 was the best year for LG in a very long time. sad...
Thanks for the video I just wanted to know where do you buy this dual screen I may not need it right away but it's good to know
Stay safe in this crazy new world
Check with LG, directly.
Absolutely this world is crazy stay safe

Velvet or v60, which one would you choose if you had to?
V60 blew Velvet a mile because V60 is a powerful phone with full features. There is a reason why Velvet is cheaper than V60 because it lacked some features like OIS and etc. Velvet got only 300k antutu benchmark vs V60 got 600k antutu benchmark. But if you don't mind spending around $100 more, then go for V60. On Ebay $400 for brand new V60 and $270 for brand new Velvet. If you use your phone just for talking, texting, light gaming, and social media, Velvet is more than enough. If you use your phone for heavy gaming and graphic, then V60 is the best route to go for.
In other words, Velvet is a value edition and V60 is high-end for LG phones.
@@TuanNguyen-su4yy how about v50 vs velvet?

About $12 difference in price. The T-Mobile velvet variant has a different processor that's supposedly better than the 765g. Having a second screen is a nice option to have sometime in the future when the price of the screen case goes down.
