LG had a number of devices in the pipeline when it announced its exit from the mobile phone industry in early April. One of them was LG VELVET 2 Pro, the company’s first-ever proper flagship smartphone in recent times. Though this handset has been now canceled along with multiple others, it gets support for Google ARCore.
Since LG put an end to its phone business, it canceled all the upcoming new products. As the company had already manufactured some limited units of the LG VELVET 2 Pro, it sold them off to its employees with no software support.
Hence, though the device never went official, there are some working units out in the wild. One of them even appeared in a YouTube video. As a result, we not only know the design of this handset but also its specs.
Having said that, since certification for certain services takes some time, the LG VELVET 2 Pro gets support for Google ARCore after it gets axed by the company. This does not mean the phone will ever see an official release. It just means that people who got their hands on the smartphone can use apps that require Google ARCore.
The LG VELVET 2 Pro features a 6.8-inch FHD+ curved P-OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, 8GB RAM, 128GB internal storage, 64MP (wide) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 8MP (telephoto) triple cmaera setup, 10MP selfie camera, and a 4,500mAh battery.
