Quello che LG non fa cosìbene sono le animazioni intorno all'interfaccia del telefono(UI).Cose come le cartelle sono piuttosto lente da aprire.Hanno un'apertura rilassata che siamo sicuri deriva dalle personalizzazioni di LG del sistema operativo Android di Google(OS)piuttosto rispetto all'hardware cheèpiùlento.Alcuni produttori prendono di mira in modo aggressivo lo snap e la velocitàcome OnePlus,mentre LGèun po'piùlento e alcuni potrebbero interpretarlo come sottoalimentato. Il display in séèdavvero bello,anche se nonostante le dimensioni di 6,8 pollici nonèpossibile passare a risoluzioni piùelevate.È2460 x 1080 pixel-Full HD+-e non c'èuna frequenza di aggiornamento piùveloce,èun 60Hz convenzionale.Alcuni lo prenderanno come una generazione dietro i dispositivi di punta,con altri dispositivi a schermo grande che offrono una frequenza di aggiornamento di 90Hz o 120Hz per uno scorrimento piùfluido e risoluzioni 1440p per maggiori dettagli. Sulla scheda tecnica che potrebbe far sembrare l'LG Velvet meno attraente,ma nell'uso quotidianoèimprobabile che sia qualcosa che ti dàfastidio.Frequenze di aggiornamento piùveloci sono di tendenza al momento,ma in molti casi fanno poca differenza per l'esperienza complessiva-anche se le opinioni divergono in merito,con alcuni giuramenti su frequenze di aggiornamento piùveloci.

LG Wing 5G Review

The wildest phone of late 2020, the LG Wing ($999) has a unique swiveling screen that brings a breath of fresh, creative air to the stale world of rectangular smartphones. Its T-shaped two-screen layout makes it the ultimate phone for multitaskers who like to take notes while in Zoom meetings or access both music and maps while driving. It also has a Gimbal video mode that simulates a Steadicam attachment. I wish this innovative device were a slam dunk, but the phone is extremely heavy, and underpowered for the price. The promise of using two screens at once also falls a little flat when you realize that third-party apps likely won't take advantage of the new design.

Perfect to a 'T'?

The LG Wing looks like a big, thick, but ordinary smartphone. At 6.67 by 2.93 by 0.43 inches (HWD), it's roughly the same width and height as other large flagships, and thicker by about 0.1 inch. But whoof, it weighs 9.17 ounces. I called the 8-ounce iPhone 12 Pro Max too heavy, so this one is a brick—though there's a reason for that. Push the bottom of the screen up and clockwise, and boom! The phone is in a "T" shape, with the large screen above in landscape orientation and a smaller screen below.

The main screen is a 6.8-inch, 2,460-by-1,080 AMOLED at 395ppi. The smaller one is a nearly-square, 3.9-inch, 1,240-by-1,080 OLED display at 419ppi. Unlike with folding phones, the two screens aren't designed to be used as one fluid display: They're a primary and a secondary panel. On the glossy back of the lower screen, there's a triple-camera stack. To use those cameras, you hold the phone up as if it were a cross to ward off vampires.

Once you get past the coolness, you'll notice some flaws. The color balance isn't very saturated, especially in comparison to Samsung phones, which really punch up the colors. There's a single, loud, aggressively tinny speaker on the bottom; USB-C or Bluetooth headphones are a must. (There's no 3.5mm headphone jack.)

The hinge moves smoothly, and LG says that it's rated for at least 200,000 rotations. It doesn't hold at any location other than zero and 90 degrees; once you push it, it's going to swivel automatically on a spring until it snaps into place.

Shockingly for something this oddly shaped, the phone has an IP54 rating for water resistance. The internal components have a spray-on waterproof coating; how long it will hold up with the parts constantly moving is hard to say.

Performance That Doesn't Really Take Flight

The Wing's Qualcomm 765G chipset benchmarks below where I'd expect. I didn't see any problems in video calling, web browsing, or movie watching, even while multitasking on two screens, but high-performance games that aren't optimized for the device may have issues. The included game, Asphalt 9: Legends, was fine; it's designed for the phone. In the extremely high-test but popular open-world adventure game Genshin Impact, occasional stutters somewhat marred the gameplay experience.

The Wing scores 7,946 on PCMark Work 2.0; 596 single-core, 1,858 multi-core on Geekbench; 318 on Basemark Web; and 17fps on-screen, 21fps off-screen with the GFXBench Car Chase graphics benchmark. By comparison, the $699 Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G scores 12,705 on PCMark Work 2.0, 392 on Basemark Web, and 45fps and 52fps on the GFXBench tests. It's clear that the Wing is operating at sub-flagship performance levels. Its scores are closer to those of the LG Velvet and the OnePlus Nord N10, two midrange phones that cost at least $300 less than the Wing's premium price.

The Wing does have flagship levels of RAM, though, and that's important. The 8GB of RAM is needed to keep all of that multitasking running.

How We Test Phones

The giant 4,000mAh battery runs out of juice surprisingly quickly. With the main screen in portrait orientation and the smaller screen hidden, the Wing streamed video over Wi-Fi for 9 hours, 15 minutes before conking out. Any recent large-size Samsung or Apple phone will surpass that by two hours or more.

The Wing has wireless charging and Qualcomm QuickCharge 4, allowing for fast charging using USB-C PD adapters at up to 28W.

Middling Connectivity

LG does not sell an unlocked, all-carrier Wing. There are two different hardware models: a Verizon/AT&T version and a T-Mobile version. I tested a Verizon model.

You shouldn't expect to see 2Gbps speeds on the Wing; 800Mbps will be more like it. The Wing uses a Qualcomm X52 modem, which we've previously seen run into trouble with AT&T's network (see our LG Velvet review). The X52 doesn't have a problem with Verizon 4G, but where flagship X55 phones will see peak speeds on Verizon's the 5G network, phones with the X52 modem will only use half of Verizon's millimeter-wave spectrum and see slower speeds. (To be fair, that difference will only show up in near-ideal circumstances in a limited number of cities.)

The T-Mobile version of the Wing can presumably handle T-Mobile's mid-band 4G as well as any other phone on the market. However, my Verizon-locked phone can't connect to T-Mobile's network, so I couldn't test its performance there.

5GHz Wi-Fi reception was about on par with the iPhone 12 Pro and behind the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Using an attenuated signal from a 100Mbps source connection, I saw around 8Mbps on both the LG Wing and the 12 Pro, and 35–40Mbps on the Note 20 Ultra. The iPhone 12 mini, on the other hand, frequently dropped that attenuated connection.

Software as Unusual as Its Hardware

The Wing runs Android 10, which is a year old at this point. It will get an upgrade to Android 11, but LG is notoriously slow to provide OS updates, so you'll have to wait for your carrier to push it. Upgrades beyond Android 11 are unlikely.

The Wing's software has been thoroughly customized to take advantage of its unusual form factor. When you swivel the top screen open, it switches from displaying the Android home interface to offering a carousel of dual screen–friendly apps: Asphalt 9, the gallery, the camera, YouTube, and Maps. There's no immediately obvious way to look at any other app on the main screen while it's horizontal. However, if you open an app while the screen is in portrait orientation and then rotate the screen, the app will stay open (sometimes adjusting well to the change of orientation, sometimes ending up displayed sideways).

Once revealed, the bottom screen displays a small version of the Android home screen. Among the icons at the bottom of the small screen, you now have pairs of apps that will open together, such as YouTube and Chrome, or Google Maps and YouTube Music.

Most of the time, the two screens operate independently. This comes in handy. My most frequent use was to pop open LG's QuickNote or Microsoft's OneNote on the bottom screen and jot notes while reading a web page or watching a video on the top screen. The Music-Maps combination looks great for driving, but there's one big UI failure: no Skip Ad button on the small screen, leaving you to endure long ads instead of your favorite playlist. A texting-and-Maps combination isn't bad if you're lost (but please pull over before texting).

You can also read two web pages at once. That's convenient, but the top page is in Landscape mode and the bottom one is small. They're certainly readable, but it isn't as natural an experience as, say, two side-by-side, portrait-style pages on the Galaxy Z Fold 2.

The Ecosystem Pitfall

The Wing's ambitious form factor looks destined to fall to the ecosystem pitfall that a lot of innovative phones have run into over the past several years.

There are four companies with enough market share to drive third-party app and accessory development. They are Apple, Google, and, to a lesser extent, Huawei and Samsung. Even Samsung hasn't done that well at it; the only success I can think of is Samsung making sure creative apps are compatible with its S Pen. Unfortunately for everyone, attempts to promote innovative APIs by other OEMs have universally failed. We saw this with the dual-screen Kyocera Echo and ZTE Axon M, and with Asus's convertible phone-tablets.

LG's dual-screen case for the V60 and the most recent round of foldable phones work around this problem by working with standard Android apps. But the Wing has two screens, with different sizes and aspect ratios, that aren't next to each other and don't form a single rectangle together, and third-party developers don't plan for that.

The result: I don't think we're going to see many games that use the second screen, or third-party camera apps that build on LG's innovative control scheme. LG has announced a few software partners—Rave, Tubi, Ficto, and Naver (which is big in Korea)—but they aren't companies well-known in the US.

Cameras: a Gimbal Gambol

The LG Wing has a main 64-megapixel camera on the back that defaults to taking 16-megapixel photos by combining every four small pixels into one brighter one. The camera has a "2x zoom" option, but it's digital zoom; it just crops the middle out of a 64-megapixel image. I found those resulting zoom shots to look quite good. They didn't seem dimmer than shots taken with the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and they were plenty sharp. There's also a 13-megapixel, 117-degree wide-angle camera on the back, and a 32-megapixel pop-up selfie camera on the front.

Compared to the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, the LG's sharpening is more aggressive, but I like that. Photos taken with this camera really brought out the texture of bricks and the stubble on my face. The Wing's primary camera is flagship level, no question about it. You may like it more or less than other flagship cameras, but I think that comes out to a matter of taste.

In low light, it's hard to compare the LG and the Samsung because they make consistently different exposure decisions. In my tests, the LG always went for a longer exposure: 1/10 when the Samsung chose 1/20, or 1/30 when the Samsung chose 1/60. That results in more detailed images, but with a greater risk of blur if you don't hold the camera still. (I noticed this when whipping out both phones to take a quick snapshot indoors. The LG was blurry at 1/24, while the Samsung was sharper at 1/40.) The LG may have been using a longer exposure because the sensor isn't as sensitive as the Samsung's. Photos taken on the Samsung have more saturated colors in low light; the LG's images look a touch washed out.

I ran into one irritating problem: In low light, when taking photos of objects at short distances, there were sometimes problems with focus lock, resulting in blurry images. This tends to happen on high-megapixel phones that don't have some sort of focus assist light, and it can be frustrating. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has a focus assist sensor, so it does better in those situations.

The Wing's Portrait mode is particularly fun and notable because of its filters. Sure, it can do the usual background blur and "stage lighting" where it blanks out the background. But it can also turn the background into a cartoon or an outline, making for a great effect I haven't seen on other phones.

A neat Dual Recording video mode lets you capture videos with the front and rear cameras at the same time—great for YouTubers. The videos can be saved as two files or one. A whole bunch of phones a few years ago had this feature, but it's been less common in the past two years.

The Wing's Gimbal mode, which imitates a Steadicam, appears to be magic, and it is—of the sleight-of-hand variety. The Gimbal mode relies on a 12-megapixel, 120-degree ultra-wide-angle camera that's rotated 90 degrees relative to the other cameras on the phone. I've seen this trick once before, on the Moto One Action, which used a rotated camera to let you take horizontal videos while holding the phone vertically.

In Gimbal mode, the phone captures up to 1080P video—that's 2.1 megapixels. Think of the 12-megapixel sensor as divided into six 2-megapixel rectangles, and your field of vision as a moving 2.1-megapixel window onto that larger panorama. With a real gimbal, you're moving your camera around. With this, you're just moving a virtual window onto an extremely wide-angle fixed field of view.

There are a bunch of options to play with in the Gimbal mode. You can lock the view so that when you move the phone around, the frame stays still. You can let the frame move, but only on the horizontal axis, preventing vertical shake when you're walking. You can pan with a joystick rather than by moving the phone. (You can't zoom, because you're already using all the pixels.)

The best thing about the Gimbal mode is the panning and what that does to your mind. Typically, when I shoot a video with my phone, I try to keep the frame still because moving the phone around with my hand introduces some wobble and a kind of motion that can be distracting. But the digital panning on the Wing's Gimbal mode is perfectly smooth and feels very professional. That's really nice.

There are a few downsides to this. For one thing, you can't combine pixels to detect more light. On the main camera, the default mode is to combine four 0.8-micron pixels into 1.6-micron pixels for 12-megapixel images; with 1080p video, you can do further pixel combination because you only really need 2.1 megapixels at one time. The gimbal camera says it has 1.4-micron "big pixels," but since it can't ever combine them, images are dimmer and basically useless at night.

Also, at least some of the anti-shake is digital, and you can see it in the resulting video. The gimbal camera has a hexa motion stabilizer to physically reduce shake, but of course it's not going to be as smooth as if you had a real gimbal. When I created intense shaking by skipping along the street while I took video, I could see some distracting digital tearing in the image as the algorithms tried to keep it together.

Will the Wing Be a Thing?

The Wing is a genuinely innovative product. Its Gimbal mode can enable some great filmmaking. Its two screens let you pair passive activities (streaming videos, watching webinars) with active ones (researching on IMDB, taking notes) for a rich, engaged experience.

On the other hand, it's really heavy, performance isn't what I expect from a $1,000 phone, and, most importantly, I don't have faith in LG to further develop and expand the software ecosystem for the form factor. The phone's basic app experience isn't likely to improve or expand with time.

Gimbal mode is cool, but real gimbals aren't that expensive. A DJI Osmo Mobile 3 or Om 4 gimbal costs $80–130. Pair that gimbal with a $699 iPhone 12 mini or Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, and you have better overall phone performance at a lower price than the $999 Wing. Of course, having to tote an extra gimbal around isn't quite as convenient, which is part of the point of the Wing.

There's an old lyric from the British rapper The Streets that always comes into my head for phones like this: "Cult classic, not best seller." When you're out with friends and you flip open an LG Wing, you're going to get comments and stares. You'll be a cool weirdo. Then you can pan around the table with your Gimbal mode, capturing reactions. If that's your game, it'll be a fun one.

I love it when companies get creative with their press kits! OnePlus and Google Pixel have been doing it for a while, and @lgusamobile just hit it out of the park. 🥳 . . Included with the new LG Velvet 5G ($599 at AT&T and coming soon to Verizon and T-Mobile), were the Dual Case (a second full-size screen that is really handy for doing two things at once vs. having to split your screen -- we've seen it on other LG models), a leather case for when I don't want to carry the Velvet in its heavier Dual Case, and something I've been meaning to get for a while -- a PhoneSoap UV-C Sanitizer. 😷 . . The LG Velvet comes in Aurora Gray, Aurora Silver, Aurora Red, and Pink White; mine is the Aurora Silver. The LG Velvet is sleek and beautiful on the outside. It has a 6.8" OLED display (just 60Hz, though) with a 16MP hole punch camera in the center, and the triple cameras on the back (48MP main, 8MP wide-angle, and a 5MP depth camera) aren't obnoxiously raised (which seems to be becoming the norm, ugh). It also has a headphone jack, for those of you who prefer wired headphones over Bluetooth 5.0. 🎧 . . On the inside, Velvet has 6GB RAM and 128HB user memory with a memory card slot (yay!). Velvet utilizes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 mobile platform, and it had a 4,300mAh battery and Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0 with wireless charging. Velvet is also IP68 certified, so you can safely take it with you to the hot tub. LOL, did I forget anything? 😅 . . Anyway, the review will come in a few weeks after I've had a chance to really use it. ✌️ . . . #LG #LGVelvet #reviews #presskit #android #androidphone #ATT #lgdualscreen #mobilephones (at Meador Draw Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9a8_ZJQja/?igshid=6fkkoki9w77e

The New LG Wing Shows What Happens When You Let Creativity Take Flight

LG unveiled its latest phone, the LG Wing. The phone is the first device released from LG’s Explorer Project, the company’s “new mobile category aimed at discovering new ways to interact with mobile devices” and its way to focus on challenging and evolving consumer technology.

The phone stands out from others released this year due to its unique and exciting form factor, which features a 6.8-inch 20.5:9 FHD + P-OLED FullVision screen that swivels out to reveal a 3.9-inch 1.15:1 G-OLED screen beneath it. The main screen has no notches or bevels, and apps will be optimized for the phone, allowing you to rotate the phone in different directions in order to best use them.

The use cases for the phone are seemingly limitless, like the ability to have a map on the main screen for navigation while driving and the smaller screen freed up for taking a call, watching a video on the main screen while accessing playback controls on the smaller screen, or playing a racing game on the main screen, with your HUD on the smaller one.

he LG Wing has three rear cameras—an ultra high resolution 64 MP, an ultra wide 13 MP, and an ultra wide big pixel 12 MP camera—as well as a front-facing 32 MP pop-up camera. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G Mobile Platform processor integrated with a Snapdragon X52 5G Modem-RF system. It’s running Android 10, has an in-display fingerprint sensor, and supports fast charging and wireless charging. The LG Wing’s IP54 rating and 4,000 mAh battery should be able to keep up with your adventures, as well.

This phone isn’t LG’s first foray into unusual form factors. With previous entries like the LG Velvet, the dual-screen LG G8X and LG V60, and even the LG VX9400 from 2008, it’s no wonder why the Wing is able to take flight with such ease.

LG Velvet durability test confirms the origin of the screen in its Dual Screen accessory

The LG Velvet comes in two flavours, although a third is on its way. At the time of writing, LG has released a 5G and Snapdragon 765G-powered edition, along with a cheaper 4G model that has a Snapdragon 845. By contrast, a T-Mobile version has the new MediaTek Dimensity 1000C, which also has a 5G modem. All models have that same 7.9 mm thick case though, which does not necessarily inspire confidence as to its structural rigidity, especially if you have watched JerryRigEverything's recent OnePlus Nord video.

The LG Velvet does flex under severe pressure, but it did not crack or shatter. A small gap between the chassis and display did appear that probably reduces the device's water resistance, but this test is way beyond what most people would do to their smartphones. Likewise, the LG Velvet did not succumb to burned, either.

Additionally, JerryRigEverything determined that the LG Velvet and its Dual Screen accessory share identical displays. A brief teardown revealed that the screen in the Dual Screen accessory even has a cut-out for an in-display fingerprint scanner, as you can view in the view below. JerryRigEverything opines that LG did this to reduce costs, which makes sense considering the relatively affordable price of the Velvet. We have already reviewed the LG Velvet too, should you wish to find out more about the device.

LG’s Bizarre ‘Wing’ Dual-Screen Phone Leaks on Video

Smartphone design has gotten repetitive and boring over the last few years, but a new era of foldable and dual-screen devices could finally spice things up. Samsung is going all-in with foldables, but LG is pushing its dual-screen cases. The company may be taking its ambitions a step further now. A leaked video purports to show the rumored LG Wing, a smartphone that sports a side-mounted display that slips out like, well, a wing. 

LG has been toying with the idea of a secondary display UI on its phones for years. Way back in 2015, LG had the V10 with a “second screen” ticker display at the top. This precursor to more modern notch displays didn’t stick around, but now most LG phones have optional dual-screen cases. Still, if you’re hoping to convince people to use their phones in a new way, an expensive accessory isn’t the way to do it. Microsoft, by comparison, is offering an Android phone with two distinct screens. 

The Wing is LG’s take on a phone that has two screens without the need for an add-on. Rumors point to a primary display measuring 6.8-inches diagonal. The secondary screen flips out to the side (in portrait), but it’s much smaller than the main display at (allegedly) 4 inches. As you can see in the video, the “wing” is a 1:1 screen ratio, which will be a challenge for many apps. LG appears to have special interfaces built for the wing so you can control music or answer calls without interrupting what you’re doing on the main display. 

The device’s specs are unknown, but a Snapdragon 765 chip like the Velvet would be a safe bet. That secondary screen is sure to add to the cost, and a Snapdragon 865 would probably push the price into Samsung flagship territory. That’s a place LG can’t compete right now. 

Based on the video, the Wing does look interesting, and there are certain situations where it could be useful. At the same time, will it be useful enough that you want to haul around a phone with this secondary display all the time? The space dedicated to the screen and flip mechanism could easily have been used to expand the battery or make the phone lighter. There’s also the issue with app support. There’s a history of phones with new hardware elements only supporting pre-installed apps. So, maybe LG’s music app will work on the secondary display, but Spotify won’t. 

We don’t know when the LG Wing will launch or if it will keep that name. However, the device in the video looks beyond the prototype stage. It could be any time now.

LG Velvet with DualScreen review

Introduction

So we’ve got three Galaxy S20s with rumors of Lite spin-offs on the way, three iPhone 11s and mumblings of an even larger Apple family this year, a sizeable bunch of Mi (Note) 10s, and several Find X2s. Pros and Lites, and Pluses, and Maxes, and Notes and whatnot.

LG? Well, LG has the Velvet now.

To be fair, LG’s upper echelon hasn’t been a masterclass in clarity itself. G8, G8x, G8s? Which market gets what, is it a midranger, is it a flagship, how many cameras does it even have – the G8 situation was the worst with some markets getting three, others two, on a handset with the same commercial name. And that ThinQ at the end was always more of a nuisance than a true brand identity. The V lineup has been somewhat more straightforward, though the V50S was but a 5G version of the G8X for South Korea.

There’ll be none of that anymore. LG’s giving up on the alphanumeric gibberish, and will be making phones that have expressive names, character and individuality, and the Velvet comes first.

It’s a premium offering – the Velvet has a glass-aluminum build with IP68-qualifying sealing, properly stunning paintjobs, curved and extra tall OLED display, 5G capability. It has some mid-tier DNA too – that 5G-capable chipset comes from Qualcomm’s 700 series, the camera system uses a middle-of-the-road 48MP main unit and is missing a telephoto, the 6.8-inch OLED maxes out at 60Hz. LG’s goal for ‘differentiated products with a clear character’ shines though, even in the dryness of specsheet below.

LG Velvet specs

Body: 167.2×74.1×7.9mm; 180g; MIL-STD-810G compliant; IP68 water and dust resistant; Aurora White, Aurora Green, Aurora Gray, Illusion Sunset, Red, Pink color schemes.

Chipset: Snapdragon 765G (7nm+): Octa-core (1×2.4 GHz Kryo 475 Prime & 1×2.2 GHz Kryo 475 Gold & 6×1.8 GHz Kryo 475 Silver).

Memory: 6/8GB RAM, 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage, microSD slot.

OS/Software: Android 10, LG UX 9.0.

Rear cameras: Main: 48MP, 1/2.0″ sensor, 0.8µm pixels, 26mm equiv. focal length lens, f/1.8 aperture, PDAF. Ultra wide angle: 8MP, 1/4.0″, 1.12µm, 15mm f/2.2fixed focus. Depth sensor: 5MP, f/2.4.

Misc: Dedicated Google Assistant key; FM Radio (South Korea only), 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo speakers; optical under-display fingerprint sensor.

Dual Screen: Optional snap-in secondary display; 6.8-inch FHD+ OLED (same as main one); additional 2.1-inch monochrome display on the front. 174.4×84.6×14.4mm; 129g, (309g combined); magnetic USB-C passthrough; no battery.

LG Velvet unboxing

The Velvet arrives in a relatively plain white cardboard box with its name stamped in a sleek typeface. LG’s logo is relegated to one of the short sides of the box.

Inside the package, you’ll find an adapter, rated at 9V/1.8A – so just 16.2 watts, and far from the promised 25W PowerDelivery support. It’s also on the QuickCharge branch of the QC/PD compatibility as it has a USB-A port. A USB-A-to-C cable is included, naturally.

Also included is a set of in-ear headphones with nice attention to detail like braided cables and a reinforced L-shaped plug. LG may not be advertising QuadDACs this time around, but its focus on audio apparently remains.

Pre-orders of the LG Velvet in some markets will be getting a whole bunch of extras. Starting with the least important, those include a silicone case, but also a pair of truly wireless earphones, and finally and most importantly, the Dual Screen accessory. We got that last bit as part of the reviewers’ package and we’ll go over its functionality in due time. It has its own box, inside it – the snap-on screen and its magnetic port coupler.

Recensione LG Velvet: riavvio rinfrescante?（2）

C'èanche una corretta classificazione IP68 su questo telefono,che significa protezione e tranquillitàda polvere e acqua.Èesattamente quello che ti aspetteresti da uno smartphone premium,edèesattamente quello che ottieni con il Velvet. LG si sta anche sforzando di sottolineare il delicato approccio alle fotocamere sul retro.Con la maggior parte dei telefoni che gridano su quante fotocamere ci sono e utilizzano un design evidenziato per verificare che,pensa Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra,invece LG vuole un approccio sottile.Il telefono ha fotocamere inferiori a filo del corpo,con solo la fotocamera superiore principale leggermente pronunciata. Quindi,in un certo senso,questoèun nuovo approccio per LG.Anche se c'èla convenzionalitàe questo rende l'LG Velvet un po'piùattraente per coloro che potrebbero aver visto l'LG G8X come un po'noioso. Qualèla parte unica?La cover Dual Screen Dimensioni della copertina:174,4 x 84,6 x 14,4 mm/Peso della copertina:129 g Secondo schermo:display OLED da 6,8 pollici,risoluzione 1080 x 2460 Display esterno da 2,1 pollici Ovviamente l'LG Velvet nonèsolo un telefono,èun telefono a doppio schermo grazie alla custodia Dual Screen cheèdisponibile per esso.Èuna tua scelta se utilizzare o meno questa custodia,ma aggiunge volume,espandendola a un laptop-spessore 14,4 mm e aggiungendo oltre il 70%al peso del telefono,portandolo a un pesante 309 g. Nonèproprio tascabile,ma rende un telefono un po'piùsimile a un libro,e molto diverso dalla raffinatezza di qualcosa come il Samsung Galaxy Fold.Il Velvet si aggancia alla custodia,l'USB C si collega alla parte inferiore e quindi richiede un adattatore di ricarica magnetico per la ricarica nella custodia. Tutta la potenza proviene dal telefono stesso,alimentando il secondo display OLED da 6,8 pollici.Lo schermo della cover Dual Screenèuno specchio del display di Velvet,offrendo una seconda risoluzione Full HD+,il che significa che ti ritroverai con due display da 6,8 pollici.Sì,la mente vacilla. C'èun display esterno aggiuntivo su questo modello-sì,ora sono tre display!-che mostreràle tue notifiche e l'ora.Èutile in un modo retrò. Ora l'approccio Dual Screen dei telefoni LG potrebbe dividere l'opinione.Per alcuni saràsemplicemente troppo grande.Per alcuni saràvisto come un modo economico per affrontare il vantaggio del telefono pieghevole(cheè),mentre per altri saràun rinfrescante nuovo modo di utilizzare il telefono.

Con Wing,LG ha implementato un concetto di smartphone speciale:design elegante con valore aggiunto invece di tecnologia di fascia alta.Il nuovo LG Wing puòfare di piùe offre funzionalitàmolto speciali. Gli smartphone con un display sono normali,gli smartphone con due display come l'LG G8X ThinQ Dual Screen()sono rari,ma niente di nuovo,nel frattempo smartphone pieghevoli come il Samsung Galaxy Fold 2(),dove due piccoli schermi sono trasformati in uno grandeègiànoto al grande pubblico(anche se non ampiamente disponibile).Cosa verrà?LG pensa:uno smartphone con 1,5 display.Se batti le mani sulla testa adesso,dovresti aggiungere qualcosa al tuo giudizio Aspetta e continua a leggere,perchéqualcosa che suona strano ha perfettamente senso in certi casi e,soprattutto,una cosa:interessante. design C'èuna cosa che LG puòfare:costruire smartphone eleganti e di alta qualità.Il produttore coreano lo dimostra ancora con il nuovo LG Wing e lo fa ancora meglio di prima.Con le sue forme fluide e la perfetta lavorazione,l'LG Velvet()èall'altezza al suo nome,quindi l'LG Wing sembra anche un tocco di qualitàsuperiore A prima vista,lo smartphone sembra abbastanza convenzionale:ampio display nella parte anteriore,bordi del pannello arrotondati e un retro in vetro arrotondato verso i bordi e senza fronzoli-solo uno smartphone completamente normale,intelligente. Uno sguardo piùattento rivela una chiara demarcazione del display:un giunto ben visibile separa la parte superiore dalla parte inferiore.Se un potenziale cliente prende poi il modello di classe superiore,diventano evidenti ulteriori stravaganze.L'alaèpesante,molto pesante.Il modello pesa 260 grammi Bilancia,normalmente non ti aspetteresti che con un nome come"ala".Inoltre,il modelloèpiuttosto spesso.Anche se complessivamente sembra abbastanza ben proporzionato,i 169,5×74,5×10,9 millimetri sono principalmente spessi on-che ricorda quasi uno smartphone pieghevole. Che questa associazione non sia cosìsbagliata diventa evidente solo al terzo sguardo,perchése si spinge un po'piùcoraggiosamente verso sinistra l'area inferiore del display,si ruota il display di lato attorno a un asse che si trova da qualche parte all'incrocio del terzo medio e superiore Come risultato finale,il pannello scatta in posizione con un angolo di 90 gradi rispetto alla forma reale dello smartphone.Una minuscola parte dell'alloggiamento inferiore sporge poi sul display ora posizionato orizzontalmenteèstato nascosto,l'illuminato L'area di visualizzazione ora ricorda la lettera T e di conseguenza LG chiama questa modalitàModalitàT.Affascinante! Tanto piùche la qualitàdi elaborazioneèeccellente,comeètipico per LG.Nulla traballa in modalitàchiusa,il display principale si trova saldamente nella parte inferiore del case e quandoèaperto,non ha bisogno di forza grazie a un meccanismo a molla e al termine della quale il pannello urta silenziosamente nella sua posizione finale Tuttavia,c'èun leggero gioco tra le due parti in movimento e si sente un leggero rumore di sfregamento,quindi la meccanica nonèdel tutto perfetta dopotutto,ma dàcomunque l'impressione che funzioneranno ancora dopo diverse migliaia di operazioni.

The LG Velvet Is a Stylish Phone with a Versatile Dual-Screen Case Option

If there is one thing that 2020’s new tech has shown us, folding screens and dual screens are a popular feature that people want, even if they aren’t always affordable. Smartphones that can seemingly do it all are de rigueur, and sometimes it takes more than just a single screen to make that happen. The 5G LG Velvet starts as an agile, fashionable, and versatile Android smartphone; the addition of its optional and removable Dual Screen case provides a second display for those times when you need a phone that can do more.

I’m going to focus on the AT&T version of the LG Velvet that I received for review, but the Velvet is also available for T-Mobile and Verizon customers. Depending upon which carrier you purchase from, the LG Velvet will come in Aurora Gray, Aurora Silver, Aurora Red, and Pink White; my review unit came in Aurora Silver.

There’s not much included in the box. Inside, you’ll find the phone, a wall charger (labeled “fast charge”), a USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable, a quick-start guide, a booklet with info on product safety and the warranty, and a flyer with how to turn your phone into a digital wallet with LG Pay on one side and information on how to get a second year added to your limited warranty with registration and an upload of your purchase receipt on the other.

The LG Velvet measures 6.6″ tall by 2.95″ wide by 0.33″ thick, and it weighs 6.2 ounces. The phone is quite tall and very thin, with a 6.8″ FHD+ OLED Display (2460 x 1080; 395 ppi) with a 20.5:9 aspect ratio and an uninspiring 60Hz refresh rate. It fits quite well in my hand, but the Corning Gorilla Glass 5, which covers its front and back, is very slick (and a fingerprint magnet) without a case. The glass edges on the front are quite curved, and the display wraps subtely down the long sides; a metal frame holds the glass pieces in place. The overall effect is stylish and sharp. The phone is gorgeous and striking; the back glass reflects light so beautifully, as you will soon see. The Velvet isn’t a flagship phone, per se, but it looks and, for the most part, feels like one.

There’s a 4mm black border at the top and bottom of the display with a 1mm black border on each of the sides. A single front-facing 16-megapixel camera lens dips down from the upper border at the center top of the display. If the lens hole bothers you, LG allows you to set a solid black status bar that stops just below the camera display, but doing so puts an 8mm black border at the top of your screen, and it only works with LG apps anyway, so don’t bother. There is a sizeable in-screen fingerprint reader (it’s been about 95% accurate in my use), but no facial recognition. The Velvet’s display is crisp and very bright, and I had no trouble seeing the display outside. The display dims nicely at night with a Comfort View blue light filter that you can manually set; you can also schedule it to come on from sunset to sunrise, or you can set specific times for it to activate. If you prefer to run your phone in dark mode, LG offers the option to do so. You can also set the otherwise bright white screens to go into dark mode from sunrise to sunset or between specific times. LG also offers the option of an always-on display, and they have an excellent selection of clocks and cute creatures (some animated) with which to personalize.

On top of the phone, there is a microphone and a combination SIM and microSD tray. The LG Velvet comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB user memory (On the AT&T version, about 97GB of that is available to the user from the start), and it can accept up to a 2TB memory card. Because I received the AT&T version, it came preloaded with a vast selection of software, including games I won’t play, premium television services that I don’t pay for, and all of the standard AT&T apps. Some of the preloaded apps can be deleted, including HBO Max, Amazon Shopping, NBA, Bleacher Report, Pandora, Candy Crush Saga, three versions of Solitare, DirecTV, Wish, SmartNews, Gold Fish, NewsBreak, Great Big Story, Puto TV, and Coin Master. But many — like most of the AT&T apps, DC universe, CNN, GOT: Conquest, AT&T ProTech, Booking.com, The CW, and Facebook can only be disabled, meaning they are hidden from showing on the phone, but they are still using ROM. After deleting all the non-LG apps that came preloaded to see what would now be available, I had 98.78GB free.

On the left side, there are two volume buttons and a dedicated Google Assistant button.

On the right side, there is a power button.

On the bottom, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, a microphone, and a speaker.

On the back, there are elegantly descending lenses in this order: a 48-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera, and a 5-megapixel ToF (time of flight) sensor followed by an LED flash. I like this simple design, as it is less obnoxious than the square and rectangular camera arrays so many device makers have embraced. The LED flash and the bottom two cameras sit flush with the Velvet’s back, and there is a ~1mm protruding ring around the top lens.

SO SHINY!!!

Let’s take a look at some sample photos; I thought the LG did a good job capturing the water lily display in San Angelo. The zoom photos can get grainy, but it’s to be expected.. (Click any picture to open a larger view slideshow.)

The LG Velvet runs Android 10 with LG’s Velvet UI skin running on top; I’ve had several updates arrive since I had the phone with the most recent being on September 24th. The UI is fine; it’s not too heavily overloaded with weird “features,” and I genuinely appreciate that swiping right on the home screen still brings up Google News (unlike the travesty forced on Samsung users to choose Samsung Daily or … nothing, for instance). However, there are still some head-scratching additions to the system; one of them is the annoying reminder not to remove the (non-removable) battery. I mean, when was the last time a smartphone’s battery was removable? Is someone out there actually still trying to do this?

One addition that Samsung Note admirers might like that the LG Velvet works with an active stylus (like this one), but because I don’t have one and my review unit didn’t include one, I wasn’t able to test that feature. It’s just as well, though; there’s no place to store a stylus, so it would just be an extra piece of gear to carry, and I am not sure how often I would use it anyway.

I like that the Velvet supports WiFi calling, as my network coverage at home can be spotty; this is one of those things that is a deal-breaker for me when considering whether a phone could be my primary or not. We don’t have 5G in my area, so I could not test how well it did or didn’t perform with that type of network.

The phone may look and feel like a flagship, but it runs the mid-to-higher-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 5G Mobile Platform. While the Velvet is capable and zippy enough most of the time (opening web pages, playing games, opening apps, etc.), there have been some odd stalls — like when I scroll on certain web pages or when trying to take a photo with HDR.

Battery life has been surprisingly good; even though the Velvet is a thinner phone, it has a 4,300mAh Li-Ion battery that lasts for about 8 hours of semi-solid use for me. The phone has Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0+ and wireless charging, so that’s convenient when it is time to top off.

One thing I was disappointed in was the removal of the excellent Hi-Fi Quad DAC digital-to-analog converter feature that higher-end LG phones utilize when headphones are plugged in. If you usually use Bluetooth headphones, you likely won’t even miss it. Still, I always felt it was a wired-headphone feature that set LG phones apart and that LG made the most of, especially considering that they were one of the few phone makers still including a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Worth noting is that the LG Velvet is IP68 Certified & MIL-STD 810G Passed, so it’s dust, water, and shock-resistant, which is useful for those who like to bring their phone to the pool or hot tub. This is an underrated feature until it is needed, and then it’s something to be thankful for once an accident or dunking occurs.

Like several models of higher-end LGs before it, the Velvet offers the option of adding a Dual Screen Case to give the user an extra display for enhanced multitasking. Unlike the reflective front on the LG V60’s Dual Screen Case, the front of the LG Velvet’s Dual Screen Case is matte silver with a shiny black cover display; the cover display activates when you lift the phone or press the power button, and it shows the time, date, battery status, and various notifications without having to open the case to check the phone. The Dual Screen Case adds considerable weight and bulk to the otherwise svelte Velvet. With the phone installed in the case, it will now measure 6.9″ tall by 3.4″ wide by 0.6″ thick, and it weighs 10.8 ounces; it is only slightly thinner and lighter than the V60’s Dual Screen Case, but it feels perceptively sleeker in hand.

The benefit of adding this extra bulk to your LG Velvet is, of course, the addition of a second 6.8″ OLED FHD Display. On it, you can operate completely separate apps than those you are running on the main screen. I went into heavy detail on the functions and uses of the second screen in my V60 review, but suffice it to say that it is convenient for having a separate area to chat in another app, for instance, when you are in the middle of a Zoom call. It is also handy for checking email when you are watching a video, or pulling up multiple news sources when researching something. When you’re using the Dual Screen features, you can swap screens from the main to the second screen, you can put the main screen to sleep, or you can turn off the Dual Screen completely. The Dual Screen case folds 360º so you can fold the second screen behind the main screen when you need to reply to emails or answer texts with both thumbs; it’s a bit difficult to manage actual keying when the Dual Screen case is open unless you are proficient at typing with your pointer fingers.

Even though there is no camera in the Dual Screen Case’s display, there is a matching black circle where the camera appears on the main display.

As they did on the V60, LG opted to connect the case to Velvet via a built-in USB Type-C charger on the inside of the Dual Screen Case rather than using POGO pins inside the case with an open charging port on the bottom as LG had on the V50. The Dual Screen Case does drain the battery significantly faster than when using the Velvet alone, So you need to be mindful of that when using it.

The design of the case necessitates using an included white dongle that clips onto your regular USB Type-C charging cable and then magnetically attaches to the charging pins on the bottom of the Dual Screen Case.

The optional Dual Screen Case is not necessary, but it is nice to have when you do want it. And when you don’t need it, you can remove it and carry the LG Velvet on its own

If you buy the LG Velvet outright at AT&T, it will cost $599, but if you make the 30-month AT&T installment payments at $10 per month, it is just $300, which makes it an excellent deal. For $300, you’ll get a gorgeous IP68 5G phone with a large, brilliant screen, a decent camera, a fast processor, wireless charging, and the ability to add the Dual Screen Case with a second display for $200 more. That makes the LG Velvet a compelling choice; if better multitasking is what you need from your phone, you’ll likely love it.

The LG Velvet is available from AT&T ($599.99), Verizon ($699.99), and T-Mobile ($588). The LG Dual Screen Case for the AT&T and Verizon versions of the LG Velvet is available separately for $199.99. You can learn more about the LG Velvet here.

What I Like: 5G support; 3.5mm headphone jack; The LG Velvet’s design is gorgeous and svelte; The screen is brilliant; You can add a microSD card to expand storage; The Dual Screen case is easy to activate, personalize, and control; Excellent battery life (when not using the Dual Screen case); IP68 dust and water-resistance; Battery life is very good; Wireless charging: LG Velvet works with an active stylus (but there is no place to store it if you have one)

What Needs Improvement: The LG Velvet has a 60Hz screen refresh rate in a time when some even mid-tier phones are offering higher; Battery life takes a considerable ding when running both screens; No face-ID; Phone stutters at times; The Hi-Fi Quad DAC digital-to-analog converter feature usually found on high-end LG phones when using wired headphones is not present
