What could have been: the LG Velvet 2 Pro had an S888 chip and a keyless design

04 June 2021
LG would have stepped up the camera compared to the original Velvet too, with a 64MP all-pixel AF and OIS, plus a 3x telephoto module.

No keys and no headphone jack!?
Thank god they've stopped making phones!

    My first flagship phone i ever had was LG G3. I loved the phone and the company. The dual screen function was interesting and i was interested of getting one. But it never came to my region. Im really sad because instead of fixing thier updates problem and improve their phones they kept changing thier ideas and disappointing thier fans. And now they shutdown the phone business.

      skyxz, 05 Jun 2021I don't believe this. Something this good and not so e... moreThat's not really a surprise though. When LG launched the V60 last year, it cost $799 for the base 128GB storage. By contrast, when Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 series last year, the cheapest model with the same base 128GB storage cost $999, which is $200 more than the LG. Even if you buy the V60 with the optional $99.99 detachable DualScreen case, it's still a good $100 cheaper than the S20. LG did show the world that they could make an affordable flagship, it's just that not many people could buy it because LG didn't officially sell it in more countries outside South Korea and the USA.

        Mr. Machuman, 04 Jun 2021please explain why unreleased phones are a lot cooler than usualThere are many prototypes for each model.
        The best one never becomes the final product.
        Usually because the high cost.

          I don't believe this. Something this good and not so expensive would've been crazy good. Too good to believe.

            Brought my first LG phone 5 years ago,a switch from Samsung .Its one of the best of the best phone that i have own.I drop on the floor at least 15 times and its never spoiled.Sad to hear that LG company stop making phone any more.I will buy LG phone again if they starts production because its going to be my first choice to hold a handphone with confidence.Thanks LG and good luck,a fan from Singaopore.

              YUKI93, 05 Jun 2021SD 888. SD 765G is on the original Velvet 5G.If so then at 170USD, it makes for a terribly solid deal, even for LG employees.

              I can imagine at least some of them selling it off at a huge premium...

                Mr. Machuman, 04 Jun 2021please explain why unreleased phones are a lot cooler than usualUnreleased phones are where smartphone companies can show off their crazy concepts and ideas. Remember the Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha? Great concept, but even Xiaomi themselves admit that it is impossible to turn it into a mass production reality.

                  I think we've discussed LG Mobile's death to death. And there's nothing more to discuss except that LG deserves respect for whatever they tried and wish they make a return.

                  This device was also very interesting.

                    Anonymous, 05 Jun 2021The LG Velvet 2 Pro units sold to employees have SD765G or ... moreSD 888. SD 765G is on the original Velvet 5G.

                      Just imagine if samsung or apple do the port less design, will it going to be to far technology.

                            The LG Velvet 2 Pro units sold to employees have SD765G or SD888? This is very confusing.
