After eight generations of G-series phones, it seems LG is finally ready to move on and try something different with a new family of handsets headlined by the upcoming LG Velvet. And while a shakeup from LG’s mobile division has been long overdue, an important question remains: How fuzzy will the LG Velvet really be?
Today we are bringing exclusive renders of LG Velvet based on Sketch in collaboration with Waqar Khan (Concept Designer)
With no actual pones existing its hard to say. The goal of the Velvet is to transition away from LG’s previous (and somewhat boring) alphanumeric designations and into something that LG says will “help the consumer capture the essence of the device best suited for his or her personality and ever changing trends.”
Admittedly, that sounds a lot like corporate jargon intended to evoke an emotional response from potential buyers, though based on a few hints dropped by LG and the design preview LG dropped last week, LG might actually be cooking up something intriguing.

For the Velvet’s design, LG looks like it will lean hard on symmetry and smooth flowing lines with the phone featuring a “raindrop camera” in addition to symmetrical curves on the front and back of the phone that are meant to please both your hands and eyes.
The smartphone could be sporting a 6.7-inch – 6.9-inch display and it could be sporting a 48-megapixel quad camera setup on its back. The device may arrive with support for dual screen accessory. Some reports have claimed that LG may announce it on May 15. It may carry a price tag of around ~$700. With over a month remaining for the rumored launch, more details on the LG Velvet is likely to surface in the coming weeks.
