A low-cost phone with well-balanced features from a brand that there is no reason not to trust. Under the plastic outer shell of the smartphone, a bundle of a 4-core MediaTek MT6737 processor and 1.5 GB of RAM is working — it lacks “stars from the sky”, but in ordinary tasks it shows itself worthy. The HD screen (1280x720 pixels) turned out to be quite good. The display diagonal is 5", which is convenient for controlling the gadget with one hand. Under the hood, the LG K8 2017 DualSim has three full-fledged slots: two for SIM cards and one for a memory card with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. The flash drive will serve as a great addition to the 16 GB of internal memory. The cameras on board the device are represented by a 13 MP rear module and a 5 MP selfie camera. Under the “eye” of the ma...in camera, there was a place for a fingerprint scanner, which is involved in ensuring the confidentiality of storing personal data.

Brand trust

On the one hand, LG K8 2017 is more expensive than Xiaomi Redmi 4X and Meizu M3s, which are similar in characteristics, and even inferior to them in terms of the quality of materials – the body is not metal, the most common plastic. On the other hand, many buyers are still distrustful of Chinese smartphones, trusting South Korean brands more. At the same time, the LG K8 2017 is significantly cheaper than its "compatriot" Samsung Galaxy J5 2016, which, by the way, is also made in plastic.

Korean style

The K8 2017 is well recognizable as LG's corporate identity, which began with the popular L-series of 2014. The front panel is devoid of physical keys (they are virtual on-screen), and the back cover is made of plastic with a checkered texture. Such material does not scratch for a long time and does not strive to slip out of hands. A fingerprint scanner is placed under the eye of the 13-megapixel camera. Inside the smartphone, there was a place for three separate slots: for two SIM-cards and a memory card.

All the colours of the rainbow

The screen resolution is 720p, which is quite tolerable for a small diagonal of 5". Fortunately, the matrix is installed with good colour reproduction (most likely, LG's own production) and is covered on top with tempered 2.5D glass. In this price category, most likely, even a relatively small amount of supported microSD memory cards - less than 32 GB will not become a problem. Finally, we note that K8 2017 has an older brother - K10 2017 with a slightly larger screen size and a more powerful processor.
