Appears the G-series is indeed confirmed dead (UPDATE: Now the LG 'Velvet')

[PythonFanPA]

Or, at the very least, its dead as a high end phone series.  Sounds like they're going with a new more midrange line and probably staying with the V-series going forward to compete at high end:

Apparently the new phone said to be releasing on May 15th is going to be called the LG Velvet:

Velvet?! LOL okay [emoji1787]

Sad!

I've satisfactorily owned the LG G2, G3, G4 and G7.

Have owned the LG G3-8. Was looking forward to the 9. Now second guessing what will be my next phone. Was hoping to use the 9 to make the jump to 5G.

Yep, I know.   This begs the obvious question of, is the phone going to be available in Blue, such that users can say they have an LG Blue Velvet phone? 😂

And of course Red Velvet, and the first time one gets run over it's a Crushed Velvet. Perhaps a Velvet Elvis edition? [emoji13]

Does anyone know if this phone will even come to Sprint? We didn't get the LG V60. I'm really interested in the Velvet but wondering if we can even buy it.

Hands on look at the phone. Scroll down for pics:

I talked with a Sprint rep who told me they won't be getting the LG Velvet. I asked if Tmobile will and they said yes most likely they will. Does anyone know how that works as far as Sprint legacy plans? In other words can we keep our Sprint plan and get the Velvet from T-Mobile?
