Pros:
- Nice Display
- Speed and memory is plenty for most users
- Thin and not too heavy
- Wireless charging works beautifully
Cons:
- VERY SLIPPERY, it's like it's been coated with butter. If you're like most people and get a case, it's not an issue though
- FINGERPRINT READER: Horrible, just horrible. Took many attempts to teach-in, and recognition is not working well. It's really bad.
- End Of Life product: Since LG exited the smartphone business, don't expect too many Android updates
USING ON RED POCKET GSMA: I simply moved my SIM from my old Motorola into the Velvet, configured the APN settings (as per Red Pocket website), saved the APN and rebooted the phone. Took maybe 5 to 10 minutes and I was all ready to go. If your local cell tower supports it, you'll get 5G.
GETTING ANDROID UPDATES: If you are NOT an actual AT&T customer (for example if you're on Red Pocket), you will be unable to get android updates through the usual update mechanism (the phone ships with Android 10 and when you try to update, it tells you that you're already on the latest version). There is no way to update yourself, but if you go to the AT&T website and chat, just tell them that you have an AT&T Velvet 5G phone but you're not an AT&T customer but want the software update. They will ask for your phone's IMEI, and within 24 hours you will be able to update. They were very nice about it and I'm now on Android 11 (the most current as of April 2022)
HOTSPOT: Out of the box (with Red Pocket as provider), the hotspot feature does not work. Red Pocket support hasn't been great, unfortunately, in fixing it. I will update once it's working.
Update: after having this phone for a few months I was wondering if I was receiving security updates on this phone through my T-mobile service. Turns out that the answer is -no. LG informed me that in order to get security updates (including the upgrade from android 10 to android 11) 1 has to do the following: buy a SIM card from the phone's original service provider (this phone's original carrier is AT&T) in order to get the updates and latest version of android. Swap SIM cards each time 1 wants to check if the phone's software is up to date. So, 1 has to buy a SIM card from the phone's original service provider (around $4). Then activate the service on that SIM for 1 day, which costs $2 per day. Wait at most a day for that original provider to activate the original provider's SIM card. Then go to the phone's settings to download the phone's software updates. Swap back in your new provider's (mine is T-mobile) SIM card once the updates are installed. Something to think about if one is thinking about buying an unlocked phone with the intent of using it with a cellphone service that differs from its pre-unlocked provider.
First thing to note when buying a 'Unlocked carrier phone'. THIS IS OPEN BOXED! Period. Not 'Brand NEW'. Carrier phones MUST be active on a carrier for a period of time before they can be UNLOCKED. So This is OPENED and activated. Then they unlock it after the period, Repackage it when it's been unlocked. But it is still got the internal carrier items from it's system and will boot from it's carrier service provider logo. This is a ATT GSM. So yes it WILL work on T-mobile network, But you'll need to put a T-mobile Sim card in and do normal phone activation. Then wait about a hour or more depending on so for it to 'log' itself. The steps normally to do this, is to TURN the phone OFF COMPLETELY. Then place your new provider SIM card inside. Turn on. Let it load. Then let it sit after logging in/opening your phone screen up for everything to internally load apps.etc. Get the phone activated, Then reset. It should now fix it's logo load up with which ever provider you going with (Tmobile if you're switching to it. or ATT will just stay same.). T-mobile and ATT are both GSM radio bands. Sprint (Non activable anymore since it's T-mobile/GSM band now.) And Version are the Velvet 5G UW Which is a different phone then this and uses CDMA radio band. Which you cannot use on this phone.
2et. LARGELY recommend you do a 2et format on the phone when you get it. Because the user does do a reset, it's not 100% fully reset. So best bet is to do a true factory reset,etc after you do a 'basic' setup that doesn't have your google,etc account active or sim yet. This'll make sure you have a truly cleared phone.
Besides that. The phone came nicely package, almost new-like Thought again since this is a UNLOCKED Carrier version phone and not a truly 'unlocked' global phone. I kinda expected it to be semi-open box but not really used, Since ATT has a 45day activation requirement before the phone can even be unlocked fully from their carrier to switch to T-mobile if one were to do. But it came clean, Had all it's plugs and cables. Paperwork. etc.
Turned it on and did basic setup, then reformated it again. Setup, and found a rather beans of a secret from carriers. (Though still working on if this is just ATT, or for all carriers.). Phone is dead set on stock version 900ULM-E version. Which is JUNE update of 2020. And you cannot do a 'update' Till it's setup with a carrier. So if you plan to get this without a sim card. You'll be stuck on a stock update of a year old and android 10, With no ability to update it unless you firmware flash, or sim sit it. But a cheap prepaid sim can fix that, But still pain in the neck that you have to do that to get a decent update.
Other then that. Phone is nice. Works pretty well and ATT just got Android 11 on it (again requires you to be on active carrier service to get updates. Cannot update via WIFI without carrier activated sim system.).
Desktop mode works pretty well, Though can't change that and most of the thems/wallpaper on the phone are pretty limited from LG (ugh.). But performance is nice (slightly better then a Motorola One Fusion. Velvet having 582gigaflops/Fusion having 384gigaflops.). For gaming. The options on their gaming launcher is also pretty nice. Custom mode to change the resolution from High/Normal/Low to FPS to high/normal/low. So you can change some games system down for better FPS, or put a limit to FPS speeds.
Tethering is also nice. Dual band, Almost as great as a S20 ultra's wifi speed performance, Just slightly less in stability. But still smooth. And Tether you can do Wifi sharing, instead of just mobile data. + with android 11. You now get Ethernet tether (Ether Wifi to Ethernet or Mobile to Ethernet.). (10 doesn't have this. But still has Wifi sharing.).
Screen is nice and good for a P-OLED (Aka LG's version of AMOLED). But maybe it's just my settings, But i found that on my vs a S20 Ultra's screen. This tends to have a more retained color across, then dimming colors together as a ultra does. Which i compared side by side with on Eve Echoes, and the Green color came out more on the Velvet then Ultra. With less color change on the LG. But again this could probably just be my settings on Custom mode to normal saturation and maxed sharpness. So it's not a knock to being a bad screen. Just weird from my point of view, Others it won't be a problem.
Speakers are nice. Though i think their slightly a little to the loud speaker side then to the headpiece speaker, Since this is a stereo speaker system the loud/headpiece both place. But seems slightly to the right speaker seeming more louder then the left, But maybe this is mainly just me in how the balance goes. But the volume does seem alittle on the low side, Like you need more volume up to hear things more then compared to the ultra. Not meaning it's tinny or anything. Just the volume doesn't have that high of output in general. So you normally got turn things up more then normally.
Back to the screen. It's got curves. Which can be a Plus to some. And a con to others.
This does have slight curve shadowing effects on the screen, And you don't get much curve edge touch support. So you aren't gonna get that edge touch ability to mess around on the corners.
Finger print, Voice activated locks. Now i haven't done the voice phraze unlocking. But the phone does support optical finger print unlocking. This can be a Plus and con to some. It's a plus to some that aren't liking their screen protectors to have a huge hole where the print reader is (like the ultra gets on their screen protectors because of the ultrasonic reader.). But this is also a con due to it's less guarding of your phone. Optical print readers are more of a 'camera' taking a picture of your finger. So if someone has a phone of your finger print and they tried opening your phone. They can do it due to the fact it's only a camera taking a picture to know the print. Unlike the Ultrasonic fingerprint reader on galaxy phones that use sonic waves of sound to bounce off the face of your finger, and sense all the little nooks and bits of your fingerprint to send back to the phone. This is better guarding then optical, Because it doesn't take a picture of your finger. It reads the grooves of your finger print, So if a image is posted on the print reader, This won't work because the sonic waves will sense it's a flat piece instead of the grooves on your finger.
Also there is no selfie/photo unlocking with this phone. Only print/Voice unlock.
Good phone. But do alittle research. Sadly this likely is the last phone to, besides the V60/G8X-G8S series. Since LG has left the game. But supposedly they'll be giving it Android 12 and Android 13 updates. So it'll have it's life to the end.
