By no means the world’s most powerful (or expensive) 5G-enabled smartphone, the LG Velvet stood out right off the bat with a unique, trend-defying, and unquestionably premium design, as well as an excellent value proposition.
Instead of Qualcomm’s crazy popular Snapdragon 765 processor, T-Mo’s LG Velvet employs “America’s first 5G chipset from MediaTek.” Specifically, we’re talking about the octa-core Dimensity 800, which is an upper mid-end silicon primarily used in Asian markets by the likes of Huawei, ZTE, and Oppo.
You can save up to $294 with an eligible trade-in, monthly installment agreement, and no other strings attached or a flat $294 via bill credits by activating a new voice line on a two-year device payment plan.
Coated in your choice of Aurora Gray or Pink White hues, the Magenta-exclusive LG Velvet 5G looks virtually unchanged apart from its MediaTek processor, featuring a familiar 6.8-inch OLED “FullVision” display, three rear-facing cameras, a large 4,000mAh battery, trendy screen-embedded fingerprint scanner, 128 gigs of internal storage space, 6 gigs of RAM, and a water-resistant construction made from a beautiful combination of metal and glass.
