Muzik, 20 Nov 2020Completely understood and agreed with your thoughts. Well,... moreFrom now on if you want to have QuadDACs you have to buy LG flagships. And Velvet is more of an upper mid-tier offering from LG. Get the V60 if you want to upgrade.

RishiGuru, 19 Nov 2020Disclaimer, I am a music lover and love LG's QuadDACs.... moreCompletely understood and agreed with your thoughts.
Well, my periority is audio output here. I also used v series mobiles v20 and G series G5 and what makes me stick to LG is only sound quality. And still, i am using G7+ and i dont to upgarde to Velvet just beacuse of design which is not a important thing to me. I hardly use that for other then audio/calls sometimes camera (G7+ camera is awesome in manual mode) etc. I had a tab and now that upgraded to Tab s7 which do all the things for me. I use alpha6400 for photography. But its been 26 months and give a thought to upgrade that but I will go for a QuadDac mobile in every way.

Muzik, 01 Nov 2020Everything is okey for me for this model like sd845 , 6/128... moreDisclaimer, I am a music lover and love LG's QuadDACs. I own three LG's all with QuadDACs.
However after the current reshuffle of LG Mobile's top management the direction and priorities have changed.
Outcome:
1) LG will mainly concentrate on experimental concepts like LG Wing. New concepts requires a lot of energy and manpower so the development team from Korea mainly responsible for LG flagships like G & V series phones will now concentrate on experimental concept phones and a traditional top-tier V series 5G phone. V series will have QuadDACs.
2) The experimental phones will be for marketing reasons, for drawing consumer attention and grabbing head lines. From strategic business perspective this type of products are very important. Just think of Samsung Galaxy Fold.
3) From low to mid-tier products upto Velvet, LG will outsource from ODMs. Bad news. Expect no QuadDACS here.
4) Under previous management if you look at LG G6, G7, G8, G8X, V30, V40, V50 they all look very similar. Same industrial no nonsense design but with little design flair or snazz. Though I love the design of my V30+ & G8X. Under new management its all about design. Just look at Velvet & Wing. When you splurge more money and effort on design, something have to give. Out goes QuadDAC and audio tuning houses like Meridian Audio & B&O.
5) Lets be realistic, the highest selling flagships in the world gives a damn to audio jack and its audio quality. So why should LG? I say all this with a heavy heart as a audio fanatic. My LG G8X with Meridian Audio tuned QuadDAC & aslo stereo speakers are the very best I ever heard on a smartphone. I hope LG continues this tradition for us audio lovers.

Everything is okey for me for this model like sd845 , 6/128, cam is good but No quad DAC..?? I brought Lg g7 plus thinq in 2018 just because of awesome and immersive sound quality. That mobile is still at the top in everything. But I really like the design and want to buy but after reading reviews, I decided to stick with G7+ only. Thanks reviewers for your contribution.

I do want to laugh at this phone for only having Snapdragon 845, but the usage of Android 10 out of the box really proves that chipset is not important compared to software version.

And yeah The LG Velvet is overpriced for its cpu processor 600 dollars?? Crazy price tag but its not bad its just overpriced. I mean you can get a used galaxy S9 for half the price. But my bad dude I didn't mean to spread "False Information. Btw the s9 plus can do it for 5 minutes max then it goes back to 4k 30 fps.

Do your homework. Snapdragon 685 is not an old CPU, it can record 8k so why only 4k 30fps ? I have an a70 with same specifics3but cost 50% less

Anonymous, 22 Aug 2020The real reason for LG to use SD845 (2018 chip) for a 2020 ... moreI know it feels odd that they use an "old" chip, but the 845 is still the third fastest chip on the market (behind the 855 and 865). Would you rather them using the newest mid-range chip even though the 845 is better in every way?

But what LG did with the velvet was just bad a snapdragon 845 phone for 600 DOLLARS!? You could literally get a used s9 with the same specs for half the price. The LG Velvet was just a overpriced phone not bad but Overpriced.

Do your research the galaxy s9 didn't have 4k 60 fps either and idk what type of videos your making to want 4k 60 fps on a phone anyway. You are just being picky tbh. I always see you hate on mid range phones also so. So in your opinion A phone has to have 4k 60 fps to be good ok buddy.
