Initially expected out as early as February under a conventional G9 ThinQ name, LG’s newest high-end (ish) smartphone was officially unveiled in May with an entirely different and decidedly unusual moniker, as well as an objectively gorgeous design.
But although the long-struggling mobile division of the Korea-based tech giant placed a lot of confidence in the mass appeal of the 5G-enabled Velvet, this budget-friendly bad boy is still not up for grabs in many key global markets. Fortunately, that’s set to change soon, but while we were extremely optimistic about the affordability of the 6.8-inch handset prior to its domestic debut, our optimism took a big hit when the LG Velvet 5G started selling at the rough equivalent of $735.
Since then, the company kept mum on the official US retail pricing matter, which is rarely a good sign, but now a self-proclaimed “technology pundit” specialized in in-depth phone camera reviews has some pretty encouraging information to share. Apparently, Juan Carlos Bagnell was told by someone undoubtedly reliable at LG that the Velvet “will cost less” stateside “than the current KRW-to-USD conversion of $750.”
