Comparisons Featuring LG K5
Short Review
- The LG K5 features a compact design with dimensions of 145 x 71.6 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 128 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking in sharpness for high-definition content.
- Powered by a Mediatek MT6582 chipset and a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, the performance is adequate for everyday use, though it may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 1080p@30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The 1900 mAh battery provides limited longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is basic and may lack some modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in gold, silver, and titan colors, offering some aesthetic choices.
- There are no water resistance features, and it lacks stereo speakers.
- Overall, the LG K5 is a straightforward device with essential features for basic smartphone users.
