6.8-inch Display, Sound Technology Maximizing Video Immersion Draws Attention
Equipped with AI Sound, ASMR Recording, and Stereo Speaker Features
6GB RAM, 128GB Memory, and 4300mAh Large Capacity Battery Included

Asia Economy reporter Han Jinju] LG Electronics will launch its strategically designed smartphone 'LG Velvet' on the 15th of next month.

On the 28th, LG Electronics announced that it will release the 'LG Velvet' on May 15 through the three major mobile carriers and unlocked channels. Ahead of the unveiling on the 7th of next month, LG will also recruit a 300-person LG Velvet experience group starting from the 29th.

The LG Velvet features a large 6.8-inch screen but is only 74.1mm wide, with a '3D Arc Design' that curves smoothly on the left and right sides of the back, providing a comfortable grip.

The key to the Velvet's design is the rear camera arrangement that falls vertically like a water droplet. It is equipped with a total of three cameras: a main camera (48MP), an ultra-wide (8MP), and a depth (5MP) camera.

It also applies 'Quad Binning' technology, which combines four pixels into one to capture clear photos even in dark environments. The 'Voice Out Focus' feature distinguishes background noise from voice when recording videos. Additionally, it includes an ASMR recording function to capture vivid sounds with a high-performance microphone.

It also includes sound features optimized for videos and games. It is equipped with a cinema full vision display with a 20.5:9 aspect ratio, stereo speakers balanced for left and right volume, and supports 'Artificial Intelligence Sound' that analyzes the content being played to find the optimal sound quality, maximizing immersion when watching videos.

LG Velvet 'Illusion Sunset'

LG Electronics equipped the Velvet with Qualcomm's latest 5G chipset, the 'Snapdragon 765 5G.' The Snapdragon 765 5G is a chipset that combines the AP and modem into one, allowing efficient use of internal smartphone space. This is why a slim design was possible despite the large 6.8-inch screen.

The LG Velvet also supports dual screens. Based on the chipset's performance, multitasking such as gaming on one screen and watching videos on the other runs smoothly. The LG Velvet supports dual screens and a stylus pen, but dedicated accessories must be purchased separately.

The battery capacity is 4300mAh. By applying a low-power software algorithm, unnecessary power consumption is minimized, allowing worry-free use even in 5G environments. The RAM is 8GB, the memory capacity is 128GB, and it can be expanded up to 2TB via a microSD slot. The colors are Aurora White, Aurora Gray, Aurora Green, and Illusion Sunset, totaling four options.

LG Electronics will operate an experience group called 'VELVETist' for four weeks starting from the 15th of next month. Recruitment will be conducted from the 29th through the Facebook event page and the experience group recruitment site. Selected participants will receive the product free of charge.

Kim Piljun, Head of LG Electronics Korea Mobile Group (Executive Director), said, “The LG Velvet is a product that realizes a high-quality design that you want to touch beyond just visible design,” and added, “We will provide various opportunities for customers to directly experience the product.”
