The LG Velvet is a mid-range 5G phone that costs a little too much, even compared to LG’s high-end phones of the last year or two. Its lower power chipset does not feel a huge step down, but the rear camera array is not as versatile as we would hope for at the price.

The Velvet is a stunning phone at a reasonable price, but rivals have more to offer if the DualScreen doesn’t tempt you enough.

El Velvet no deja de ser un teléfono bastante impresionante a un precio razonable, a pesar de que muchos de sus rivales están ofreciendo algo más. Si el uso de la doble pantalla DualScreen es una prioridad para ti, esta podría ser tu elección definitiva.
