Comparisons Featuring LG K4 (2017)
Short Review
- The LG K4 (2017) features a compact design with dimensions of 144.7 x 72.6 x 7.9 mm and a weight of 138 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 195 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-definition content.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chipset with a quad-core 1.1 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, providing basic functionality for everyday use.
- The camera setup includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of 720p video recording and a 5 MP front camera for selfies, both of which deliver satisfactory results in good lighting conditions.
- The 2500 mAh battery offers decent longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, the software experience is straightforward, though it may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in black and titan colors, providing limited aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the LG K4 (2017) is a basic smartphone suitable for users with minimal requirements.
- Special features are limited, with no water resistance or advanced functionalities.
