Marking a departure from the usual square camera, with multiple lenses close together, LG VELVET features a vertically aligned “Raindrop” camera. The harmonious arrangement is made up of three lenses and a flash, placed in descending order of size to evoke the image of raindrops falling on a surface. The new 3D arc design offers symmetrical front and back edges and gently curved corners, creating a sleek, fluid form factor that fits perfectly in the hand and feels comfortable to hold. Four expressive colors* – “Illusion Sunset”, “Aurora White”, “Aurora Grey” and “Aurora Green” – in a glossy, premium finish give LG VELVET a unique personality and an individual sense of style.

Whether watching movies or series on a streaming service, playing games or listening to songs, users will enjoy the enhanced details and realism of the 6.8-inch, 20.5:9 Cinematic P-OLED Full-Vision display. On the other hand, continuing LG's legacy of superior smartphone audio, LG VELVET offers powerful stereo speakers for an immersive sound experience. In addition, it incorporates the LG 3D Sound Engine system, which uses artificial intelligence to automatically analyze and optimize all audio content.

LG VELVET features all the multimedia tools that users expect and love from LG phones. The device features a 16MP camera on the front and a 48MP, 8MP wide and 5MP depth main sensor on the back to capture every moment in stunning quality. It inherits the popular Voice Bokeh feature from the V60, for clear outdoor recordings even in the presence of strong ambient noise. This allows even the smallest sound to be vividly captured with ASMR recording and two built-in high-sensitivity microphones. 4K Time-lapse has also been improved with the new Timelapse Control that can automatically adjust the recording speed according to movements and also allows users the freedom to adjust the recording speed themselves.

To ensure users get the most out of 5G service, LG VELVET introduces Qualcomm's new Snapdragon™ 765 mobile platform. Produced using the latest 7-nanometer process, the 765 includes Qualcomm's second-generation Snapdragon X52 5G modem to provide all the key features customers want without the added bulk. The new processor offers the added benefit of increased performance when using LG Dual Screen for twice the fun, twice the productivity. LG VELVET and Dual Screen also enable compatible active pen input for convenient note taking and drawing when one finger is not precise enough.

“We are excited about LG VELVET, not only because it is an exceptional 5G smartphone, but because of the unique value it presents through our new design language,” said Chang Ma, senior vice president of product strategy at LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “With a singular design that fits perfectly and feels great in the hand, LG VELVET is an individual phone that will appeal to the unique sensibilities of today's consumers looking for something a little different.”

LG VELVET will be available in South Korea starting in May, followed by major markets in Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia. Additional details will be provided closer to its launch in the country.
