    I used the Canadian version on ATT until last Feb (when 3g got turned off). The Illusion Sunset color is the best, and I loved the phone. The 765g cpu is kinda weak for graphically intense games, but other than that I loved the device. Just ordered the ATT Silver color one to use along with my G8x.

      Yeah the only good thing about LG mobile going out of business was that it suppressed their value on the resale market. I actually bought an LG wing end of v60 when they announced the closure just because I knew it would be my last chance to really get access to these kind of devices.
      Tempted to get a velvet at this price but the LG wing is so similar it would feel a little redundant.

    Under $100? I mean that's worth buying as a secondary device even if you don't need a new phone. Be dedicated music player with an SD card and a headphone jack.
    That might be the best deal in 2023 on the resale market. The 765 g is absolutely fine on the day today with good thermals. Stylus support, desktop mode.
    It gets Android 13. Personally I'm more partial to the LG wing or v60 but both of those are probably going to cost you at least $200.
    I mean you could get this and a v60 for the same price as an a53

    Use it till to dated about 5 month! In terms of design this phone look gorgeous! On paper the spec is outstanding but in the real world this was the last model that's what makes lg stop producing smartphones! This phone have the weakest data connection problem! Battery last about 5 to 6 hour only and the sound lack of bass and talking about the sound now after using it about 5 month my velvet have no sound and the mic not working at all no ringtone no video sound no notification tone you can hear coming from the speaker? Try reset back to factory default but the problem not fix?and if you install screen protections the proximity sensor would not work and the on display finger print sensor sensitivity also the worst! Selfie camera just forget it! The only good about this phone is the video stability and the wide angle camera !so this is my honest reviews after using it for 5 month and now I'm using the cheaper android phone better than velvet Infinix note 12 G99 pro 4G using 13R/256R with 5000 battery.

      It's absolutely insane value. You could safely use this for a couple more years on Android 13. I don't know why people are spending 800 bucks on an s23 or something when you could get a velvet or a v60 -- hell both -- for $0.20 on the dollar.
