However, according to a leak by @FrontTron, the company was able to manufacturer a limited number of units of some models and now LG employees in South Korea have the exclusive opportunity to purchase either of the unreleased devices.

The Velvet 2 Pro is being sold in Black, Bronze, Ivory colors. The image uploaded along with the leak gives us a sneak peek of the Ivory white model. The design is quite similar to the first-gen Velvet with a triple camera setup but the lenses seem to protrude a tad more on this version.
