Comparisons Featuring LG K50
Short Review
- The LG K50 features a sleek design with dimensions of 161.3 x 77 x 8.7 mm and a weight of 170g, available in Aurora Black, Moroccan Blue, and Platinum Gray.
- Its 6.26-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 269 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 chipset, an octa-core CPU clocked at 2.0 GHz, paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.
- The camera system includes a dual rear setup with a 13 MP wide lens and a 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while a 13 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The 3500 mAh battery provides adequate power but does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 9.0 (Pie), the software experience is straightforward, though it may lack some modern features.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC, while the device uses a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- The absence of stereo speakers is notable, but a headphone jack is included for audio needs.
- Overall, the LG K50 offers a balanced set of specifications suitable for everyday use.
