You told us: Most of you say you would’ve bought the canceled LG Velvet 2 Pro
August 25, 2025
LG made the decision to exit the smartphone business earlier this year, resulting in the firm canceling several phones that were in development. We got a good look at one of these phones, theLG Velvet 2 Pro, earlier this month when a hands-on video surfaced online.
The scuppered phone had aSnapdragon 888SoC, 120Hz screen, a versatile triple rear camera, and a 4,500mAh battery, making for a handy device on paper. But would you buy this phone if it actually had a commercial launch? That’s what we asked in our poll last week.
Would you have bought the LG Velvet 2 Pro?
We posted the poll on June 23, and it’s accrued over 1,800 votes up until now. The final result? Well, a grand total of 84.4% of the respondents say they would indeed buy the LG Velvet 2 Pro if it received a commercial launch. That’s a major landslide victory for the pro-LG camp.
Just over 15% of voters say they wouldn’t buy the canceled flagship though, and the comments suggest the lack of aheadphone portis the main reason to give this a skip. It would indeed be a controversial decision, as almost all LG smartphones bar theLG Winghave included the 3.5mm port.
We also have a few reservations about consumers at large buying the smartphone. After all, LG exited the business precisely because people weren’t buying its devices. So while it may well have been a hit with LG fans and audiophiles, it likely would’ve been a loss-making endeavor nonetheless.
