LG K5 8 GB / 1 GB

The low-cost series of smartphones with the prefix "K" from the South Korean brand LG entered the market in early 2016. The model with the K5 index is the most affordable in the new line.

Assembly

The phone is enclosed in a high-quality metal case, which is rare in state employees. The back cover is removable and it opens access to replacing the battery or expanding the memory of the smartphone via microSD cards with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. The 8 GB internal storage provides users with about half of its capacity.

Display

The screen of a smartphone with a typical 5-inch diagonal has a low resolution (854x480 pixels). Part of the display is eaten by touch control keys, which are located on its lower part. On the other hand, the screen has wide viewing angles and also reproduces colours correctly.

Confident Behavior

In the AnTuTu test, the performance level of the smartphone is estimated at about 23.5K points. In applications, the gadget behaves like a strong average — at medium graphics settings, it feels confident in all modern games. The merit of this lies on the shoulders of the 4-core processor MediaTek MT6580, paired with 1 GB of RAM.

Photo and video

As befits a modern smartphone, there was a place on board for two cameras: the main one with a resolution of 5 MP and the front one with 2 MP. They have several interesting features in their arsenal, among which stand out shooting by hand gesture, shooting with one touch and virtual flash for selfies. The resulting photo and video materials do not shine with super-quality, but with sufficient lighting they give quite a decent result.

battery life

The battery capacity of 1900 mAh is enough for a day of not very active use of the smartphone. Therefore, in order to always stay in touch, it will not be superfluous to stock up on an extra battery or an external battery to charge your gadget on the go.
