Deal Details
EDIT 8/25: Thread originally is for ATT version but now looks like sane seller has the unlocked TMO version as well for $10 more. Brand new, warranty, ect.. the TMO version is better since it's using MediaTek 5G chip, the Dimensity 1000C, instead of the SD 765G, which is on all the other variants.

LG Velvet TMO variant $269

Bootloop, screen burn/off color issues, charging failing (phone will work but will not charge) - all issues in my family's history of LG phones none of which they acknowledged as a warrantyable issue.

I'm more than happy to see them crash and burn. They made good products but had shit support.
Yeah, compared to which Android manufacturer? LG mobile support was at least on par with the competition. Apple + Apple Care the way to go if you expect to be pampered (and don't mind paying $$$).


Also, which phones and how were they used?

Bootloop - One generation of LG phones (G4/V10) had a known motherboard defect due to contacts coming loose (insufficient SoC cooling). LG provided extended warranty after having their arm twisted.

Screen burn/persistence/retention - Not an issue exclusive to LG, it is likely user practice in combination with the display tech (e.g max brightness with static content on an OLED). Not something that would be covered under a limited warranty

Phone does not charge - User likely damaged the charging port. Afaik no V series have soldered on charging ports, and the assembly is replaceable. Not something that would be covered under a limited warranty

I have an LG 6 phone do not recommend them they still bootloop in 2021 every LG phone seems to suffer from this
The LG G6 was one of the last inoovative phones that actually made sense!
It had a 2:1 screen which had all kinds of usefulness. multitasking means both apps are square and remain the same no matter which way you hold the phone. There were cool camera uses where you take a square shot, then it shows that image while you compose the next.
Then samsung came along and started making arbitrary aspect ratios that made no sense and every other manufacturer followed suit. the whole thing became a mess.

Not true. Google pay will work, but you don't know what you're doing. You sound very ignorant, and shouldn't spread false info. Google pay -- not Google play services, is the app affected by root and bootloader unlock. However, it's easy to address this.

I had Pay working fine on my rooted OnePlus 8 and Edge.
Fact: Unlocking bootloader causes the phone to fail SafetyNet tests (which is part of Google Services)

Fact: A lot of apps/games rely on SafetyNet to ensure the phone is secure e.g. Google Pay, banking apps and even games like Pokémon Go.

I use this exact phone on T-mob. I have a 5g sim and for a while I thought I could use data only.
Finally I found there is a setting to enable 2g! And now I can make and receive calls (on 2g I guess) and internet via 4/5g still works fine.

I bought this during a previous sale and it's pretty good. The only thing I don't like is how tall and skinny it is. oh and i don't like curved screens either. But for the price, I'm willing to live with those dislikes.
There is no VoLTE on T-Mobile or any none- at&t network...
Also, there is no so called "5G sim card" in T-Mobile.
you almost cannot surf and talk....

I've used Samsungs and Pixels and none have given me the grief that LG has.

Bootloops on G4, also Nexus 5, and the LG tablet X 8. Screen burn on a backup V30 phone with a purple tint over the whole screen? It was a faulty display, and I got it covered through my 3rd party warranty after waiting a year for it to kick in (yes, that happened in under a year). Charging port - also within the 1 year on the V30 on the same backup phone. It had less than 10 charge cycles on it.

If you want to fanboy, go ahead, but LG lost the war and for good reason.

I know that. That's why you use magisk when unlocked. Safety net passes on all of my devices. It wouldn't make sense to unlock the bl if the phone is to remain unrooted, since widevine level gets downgraded and some apps will complain.

Aren't the specs on this almost identical to the pixel 5a they just announced for $500? I need a spare phone because my current spare phone suddenly has a crap battery. It's a 4 year old Motorola g6. Also can't tell if it supports UW on AT&T.

MagiskHide (systemless rooting app) can hide the changes and pass Safetynet, enable banking apps, etc.

Edit: was covered. Confirming..

They don't mention it in these specs, but the phone is really durable. After my Huawei died a year ago during a fishing trip, I bought this phone... IP68 and MIL-STD-810G. It also has a really nice battery. With moderate use, it can last 2 days. I took it to the water park all summer and kept it in my pocket when I'm in the pool and doing rides. I did lots of underwater video without using a special case. It's been a great phone in this regard.

Yes. Hardware-wise it's actually better in a number of ways with a larger screen, mSD slot, wireless charging, better IP rating, FM radio and slightly faster charging. Pixel has all sorts of software advantages of course and a bit larger battery.

Normal price is only $20-30 more on Amazon, not sure if this is a good deal.

$200 would be a good deal.
