LG VELVET™ 5G | AT&T

I can't say enough good things about this phone for the price I paid. I got it At&t unlocked so I knew it would be coming opened an slightly used. I wanted a new At&t locked version of the phone but didn't wanna have to go to the store to buy it however this one worked too. So it came in a box inside another box. Packaged very well wasn't damaged during shipping which btw was blazing fast bought it Wednesday had it in my hand Friday morning when my mail went. I wish it would've came w the wired headphones but it didn't. However everything else was there. The phone itself didn't have a mark on it an still had the original stickers on n the top an bottom of the phone. Was weird however out of the box the phone was on so the battery was pretty drained when I got it so I plugged it in let it charge for awhile an put my sim in it. I got wifi calling texting an volte. Which is what I needed it for. It exceeded my expectations of this phone off the bat w the smooth yet colorful display, fast when switching through multiple apps, camera is awesome (some close up pics can get pixley) but for 200 because I had a 100 gift card it was well worth the money. It has dual speakers an are very loud n crisp. Still has the 3mm headphone jack that I love. I love lgs screens always have. It's a bummer there no longer in the cell phone industry. It updated to Android 11 no problems. I all around love this phone the only small very small thing I have a pick w an it's y I didn't give a 4 star review. The battery. However I understand if your on your phone alot it consumes battery however. I'm only maybe 3 hours total out of a day an if I'm on Facebook talking u might as well hook up a charger cause it will die fast. Now if ur not watching you tube or on Facebook talking the battery isn't that bad. I can leave 100% at 11am n at 8pm when I get home I still have about 85% or more. The fast charging isn't fast though kinda slow compared to the mia1 I have from 4 years ago it's tops off in under a hr from 0 to 100 an this one takes about 2 wireless charging the 1st night I didn't even get a 100% I thought it was the charger itself so I got another one did the samething. However it seems that the longer I use this phone the better the battery life gets an the wireless charger is now capable of charging to 100% even though it takes it almost 5 hours or more. I hope this review helped someone out in deciding to buy this phone. It feels amazing in the hand quality feel an not heavy but made sturdy. Doesn't feel cheap or platic. Tha k u lg for this wonderful device!

If you're looking for a budget Android phone that has wireless charging or NFC, this is it. My provider is Red Pocket, but it's running on the AT&T network (GSMA), which is why I purchased this phone.Pros:- Nice Display- Speed and memory is plenty for most users- Thin and not too heavy- Wireless charging works beautifullyCons:- VERY SLIPPERY, it's like it's been coated with butter. If you're like most people and get a case, it's not an issue though- FINGERPRINT READER: Horrible, just horrible. Took many attempts to teach-in, and recognition is not working well. It's really bad.- End Of Life product: Since LG exited the smartphone business, don't expect too many Android updatesUSING ON RED POCKET GSMA: I simply moved my SIM from my old Motorola into the Velvet, configured the APN settings (as per Red Pocket website), saved the APN and rebooted the phone. Took maybe 5 to 10 minutes and I was all ready to go. If your local cell tower supports it, you'll get 5G.GETTING ANDROID UPDATES: If you are NOT an actual AT&T customer (for example if you're on Red Pocket), you will be unable to get android updates through the usual update mechanism (the phone ships with Android 10 and when you try to update, it tells you that you're already on the latest version). There is no way to update yourself, but if you go to the AT&T website and chat, just tell them that you have an AT&T Velvet 5G phone but you're not an AT&T customer but want the software update. They will ask for your phone's IMEI, and within 24 hours you will be able to update. They were very nice about it and I'm now on Android 11 (the most current as of April 2022)HOTSPOT: Out of the box (with Red Pocket as provider), the hotspot feature does not work. Red Pocket support hasn't been great, unfortunately, in fixing it. I will update once it's working.
