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

GSM Arena is your friend to find specs. cpu is SD 765g, which is a great mid-tier chip that will basically handle everything, even multitasking.
I don't understand why people get so caught up on OS updates. security updates maybe. but most ios and android updates do little more than add useless features and consume more resources.
If it's a great SoC (aka CPU), why are they afraid to bring the name up? Google used the same SoC for its Pixel 5.

Yeah! I think you're right. I have really liked LG phones for the most part. Still have a V20 too.
I collect phones trying most from Apple to the lesser know Chinese brands. I like LG as well can't beat them for quality feature rich products. I use a V20 as a daily driver and have v30 v35 and v50. I of course have this one, the Velvet. Cool phone certainly looks the part but shy a few features from the top v series. Still very very nice.

Decent phone but for $150 more you can get a mint V60 which beats this in every way.

However, this phone is one of the few that has the trinity of features that phone makers neglect: microSD slot, QI charging, and headphone jack. Even better if you can find a cheap dual screen for this. BUT, the T-mobile edition uses the Mediatek Dimensity 1000 processor rather than Snapdragon, so the dual screen cases won't be compatible.

That's the point, the phone goes for a much lower price on ebay, but AT&T saw it fit to take advantage of an elderly woman with next to nothing fixed income instead of selling her a cheaper phone. It's a PSA heads up.
again... nothing to do with this seller.

Updated OP w/ the TMO variant from this same seller, same condition, warranty, ect… however since TMO version has the better processor MediaTek Dimensity 1000C, it's ten bucks more than this ATT variant. Both phones are carrier unlocked though!

Bought few phones from LG in my life, support/updates were terrible, needless to say they will be no better when company went off the market?
funny, got a total of 5 or more LG's till date (various models) and they were awesome. even the lowest end ones. on the other hand, my experience with xiaomi and oppo were terrible (to be kind).

sure, the xiaomi's got a lot of updates but what's the point when the software is inherently buggy? i don't get the fad with 'frequent updates' - if it works well, why break it? then again, that's just my view.

such a shame that companies like Nokia (of yore) and LG focused on the US instead of better markets, ultimately burning their fingers. two companies that did a LOT of r&d without simply copying - perhaps a bit too much. quite unfortunate. sure wish they had the guts to stick to their guts instead of gambolling all over the place.

Reading through the LG Velvet subreddit it seems people are having a lot of problems with this phone (not sure if they specified SD or MediaTek) from getting no data to big battery drain to not connecting to WiFi. That and my prior experience with my G4 overheating when I had it back then turned me away from this phone.

Without T-Mo's VoLTE software/implementation on the phone though, you won't be able to use it for calls on T-Mo after about the end of the year. Beginning Jan 2022, T-Mo deactivates legacy voice support, and only supporting their implementation of VoLTE, for all voice calls. I haven't checked phone news lately, as to whether T-Mo is sticking to the Jan 22 timetable, but as far as I know, that's still the current cut-off.
If this ATT version doesn't support/load T-Mo VoLTE software, then it's dead for calls on T-Mo starting January.
You certainly can use the phone (to make calls) without VoLTE after Jan 2022, as long as T-Mobile's GSM 2G is still there for falling over voice call.
T-Mobile does not have plan to shutdown GSM yet

1) T-Mobile is tentatively slated to discontinue its 2G network for Dec 2022, so yes, in theory, you could use it, to some extent (see #2), for part of the next year, to make 2G voice calls.
2) Prior to the Dec'22 decommissioning of 2G, as with other carriers, TMo's planning, or likely planning to remove some of the 2G support and calling areas, as it begins re-allocating 2G spectrum, prior to the drop-dead date.
3) T-Mobile's pushed the date a few times, I think (most recent was Aug 4, 2021?), but at some point, soon, they're going to stop even permitting activation of phones w/o T-Mo VoLTE, such as this one. That could literally be any day now.

So, best case scenario (without reflashing OS, drivers, and editing .prop file, etc. to add/enable T-Mo VoLTE), you get the phone signed up on T-Mo before they stop activating non-T-Mo VoLTE phones, then you hope you get 2G voice calling, for some portion of the next year.
That gamble doesn't seem slick, but that's just me.


UPDATE: Just noticed the OP addition of the fact, that the seller's now offering the T-Mo version for $10 more. So, nobody has to go through the above 2g-ymnastics, and can get the T-Mo version. Everybody wins!

First, T-Mobile has no plan to cut 2G GSM so far.
Second, there is no need activation phone , just put your activated SIM card in you are ready to go...

Updates can be overrated. I've had updates bugger my phone unexpectedly and that's dangerous. Plus as phones have to get more spyware forced on them LG will be out of the picture.

Who cares about the seller, it was a price compare from a rip off company that was being highlighted.

Battery drain is common on current 5g phones that hunt and peck between 5G and 4G signals
