Last year, LG killed the G-series of smartphones to introduce the new LG Velvet lineup. The phone received a good reception from both users and critics. The company was working on its successor but given that the mobile phone business has been shuttered, we will not get the LG Velvet 2 Pro that was planned.
However, an unboxing video of the LG Velvet 2 Pro aka LG Rainbow has been leaked online (via Tron), showing what the smartphone could have been. The unreleased smartphones have been sold by the company to its employees.
The video shows that the device continues to have the same design as its predecessor, with a curved display upfront for a higher screen-to-body ratio. As per the reports, it would have featured a 6.8-inch P-OLED display panel with Full HD+ screen resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR support.
On the backside, there’s a triple-camera setup with the company’s new raindrop design, consisting of an OIS-enabled 64-megapixel primary camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor. For taking selfies and video calling, there’s a 10-megapixel snapper up front.
The smartphone is running the Android operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own custom user interface. It reportedly packs Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, coupled with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. It packs a 4,500mAh battery with fast charging support.
This indicates that, unlike its predecessor, LG planned to position this new model as a flagship smartphone. However, as mentioned above, with LG shutting down its mobile phone business, this smartphone won’t be available commercially.
