LG Velvet price in India, specs, and sale date have been announced as the phone goes official alongside the LG Wing dual-screen smartphone that comes with a swivel design. The LG Velvet, in contrast, is a regular smartphone with a single 6.8-inch FHD+ POLED display with a waterdrop notch atop for the selfie camera. The handset was initially unveiled back in May globally with 5G Snapdragon 765 SoC, but the Indian variant is curiously powered by the 2018 flagship Snapdragon 845 processor. Other key LG Velvet specifications include IP68 design, military-grade compliance, 48MP triple rear camera setup, and a 4,300mAh battery.
