While we can definitely understand why some of you may feel reluctant to even consider purchasing a mobile device manufactured by a company that’s recently thrown in the towel, the LG Velvet is still one of our top picks for 2021’s best budget 5G phone title.
Given the gorgeous design, reasonably powerful processor, hefty battery, versatile rear-facing camera system, microSD support, and headphone jack, we fully stand by that nomination, mind you, especially when you can get the jumbo-sized mid-ranger at a measly $279.99 brand new.
Available in a single Aurora Silver hue, the LG Velvet 5G devices on sale here in a “limited quantity” come with a respectable 6GB RAM in addition to a generous 128 gigs of internal storage space, as well as a Snapdragon 765 SoC, 4,300mAh battery capacity, 25W fast charging technology, a 48MP primary shooter, and a notched P-OLED screen with a resolution of 2460 x 1080 pixels.
