User opinions and reviews

Just found this - my perfect phone - seems like flagship at less than half the price. It has everything I want. However, I just discovered that LG have stopped making phones...!
I wonder why , maybe LG thought that if this phone can't beat the competition and dominate the market, then there's nothing more we can do.

    My wife and I have had 4 of these LG Velvet 5G phones. 2 originals and 2 replacements and I'll be going for my 5th. All of a sudden, they start to heat up during the charging process and when using and it drains the battery very quickly. T-Mobile has been nice in sending us replacements but now I'm afraid they will start a fire....

        I ordered a V50 new unlocked(Korean). Happen to find it on Amazon(Singapore) after a lot of searching and messaging to sellers. Though refurbished ones are available everywhere.

        I also use the peaking feature a lot when using manual control. Very helpful in Astrophotography too.
        Just to show the power of LG devices(V series/ G series/ Velvet),
        I shot this astrophotography and tried to capture meteors from LG V30 via manual mode(Open Camera):

        Possibilities are endless, one should know how to tame these beasts 😊

The V50 still retain the focus peaking feature, so it's very useful to see which subject is in focus or not. It can even shoot 4K60fps video from the ultrawide camera, something that even its successor, the V60, can't do. That said, the Xperia 1 ii does have 20fps burst shooting mode. Also, it has a separate Photo Pro app for total manual control.

          Juan Bagnell made a video comparing the camera performance between the V50 and the Xperia 1 (https://youtu.be/BXlABW3j-Eg) and also the V60 and the Xperia 1 ii (https://youtu.be/4vQe3ui08sA). Definitely worth checking out.

            I checked Sony 1 ii is praised a lot. But still inclined towards V50.
            My main requirement is the camera. I'm impressed with LG V30 and as I mostly control manual mode I'm able to shoot better pictures. Since you are using Velvet and V50 both I was wondering if it is okay to go with V50 now or shall I move on to Sony 1 ii or some other brand. Don't mind for asking queries as I'm looking for first hand information instead of relying on reviews. 😊

That said though, the latest gaming phones from ASUS and Xiaomi now returns the headphone jack.

                If I care about OS update on a midrange phone, I'd go for Samsung phones. The latest A52 and A72 does look like a good midrange phone.

I don't mind to be on the latest software. Moreover, LG has officially released the statement that V50 will get Android 11 for sure.

At the moment, LG doesn't seed Android 11 to the V50 and I'm very hopeful that they will do it. But if you do focus on camera performance, buy the V50. As a sidenote, both V50 and the Velvet has their own DualScreen case.

                                  Not happy with this phone at all! I purchased it Nov 2020 and it would lock up about twice a month. Now, after a recent update, can't sent pics via text when on Wi-Fi!? Can't text at all in group chats on Wi-Fi. LG says they are working on a patch... it's been over a week now!! Too bad as LG is known to have good products, but this one is not. Not a hardware issue but system problems. I will be going back to Samsung!
