LG is set to make a pretty big comeback with its upcoming series of smartphones that will focus on design and aesthetics. Set to replace the LG G series, the first of these phones is the upcoming LG Velvet. Now days ahead of its launch, the entire specifications for the phone have leaked out.
The specifications come from South Korean forums Meeco.kr. The same specification leak was also shared by tipster Sleepy Kuma on Twitter. As we expected, the specifications suggest that despite the premium-looking design the LG Velvet will not be a flagship phone. The device is more of an upper mid-range proposition in the market. However, the phone is still expected to feature support for 5G.
