With today’s launch of the OnePlus Nord, you might be wondering just how similar the new mid-range smartphone is to the LG Velvet. Both devices are positioned as mid-range smartphones, running on the same Snapdragon 765G from Qualcomm, but there are some significant differences between the two.
The main differentiator is the price. While the OnePlus Nord starts at 400 Euro, the LG Velvet carriers a 50% premium for its base model, even though it has less RAM and arguably an inferior camera setup. That being said, the higher price tag allows the LG Velvet to offer an official IP68 dust and water resistance rating and wireless charging – two features that the OnePlus Nord omits.
