Comparisons Featuring LG K20 (2019)
Short Review
- The LG K20 (2019) features a compact design with dimensions of 148.6 x 71.9 x 8.3 mm and a weight of 152g, utilizing a glass front and plastic back.
- Its 5.45-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 197 ppi, with a standard refresh rate of 60Hz.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6739 chipset, a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The battery capacity is 3000mAh, providing adequate power for daily use without fast charging or wireless options.
- Running on Android 9.0 Pie (Go edition), the software is optimized for lower-end hardware, offering essential features without bloat.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 5.0, though it lacks 5G support and NFC.
- The phone is available in New Aurora Black and New Moroccan Blue colors.
- Notably, it includes a headphone jack, which is becoming less common in modern devices.
- Overall, the LG K20 (2019) is a straightforward device aimed at users seeking basic functionality.
