Comparisons Featuring LG K40S
Short Review
- The LG K40S features a sleek design with dimensions of 156.3 x 73.9 x 8.6 mm and a weight of 186 grams, available in New Aurora Black and New Moroccan Blue.
- Its 6.1-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 276 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Powered by the Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 chipset, the phone delivers adequate performance with an octa-core CPU and options for 2GB or 3GB of RAM.
- The camera system includes a 13 MP main sensor and a 5 MP ultrawide lens, capable of recording video at 1080p@30fps, while the 13 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- A 3500 mAh battery ensures reasonable longevity, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- The device runs on Android 9.0 (Pie) and is upgradable to Android 10, providing a user-friendly experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The inclusion of a headphone jack is a plus for audio enthusiasts, although stereo speakers are absent.
- Overall, the LG K40S offers a balanced set of features for everyday use without standout capabilities.
