Meet Velvet, LG’s next phone with one-of-its-kind ‘raindrop’ camera design

Days after revealing the key “aesthetic” details of the Velvet, LG has dropped the phone’s full specifications leaving literally nothing to the imagination. The Velvet will be part of an all-new series of smartphones that will focus a great deal on distinctive designs and what LG is calling “tactile” elegance, rather than being a spec-sheet filler like every other smartphone today. That’s not to say that its hardware will be any less inspiring.

Based on the details shared by LG, the Velvet will come with a 6.8-inch OLED display with a 20.5:9 aspect ratio. The resolution hasn’t been specified though chances are we’re looking at a 1080p+ or full-HD+ panel. Under the hood, the Velvet will pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 processor which will bring, among other things, support for 5G connectivity to the phone. This will be paired with up to 8GB RAM and up to 128GB storage which will be expandable by up to 2TB via a micro-SD card slot.
