Comparisons Featuring LG K51S
Short Review
- The LG K51S features a sleek design with dimensions of 165.2 x 76.7 x 8.3 mm and a weight of 194.5g, available in Titanium, Pink, Blue, and Red.
- Its 6.55-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 282 ppi, although it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 chipset, with an octa-core CPU and 3GB of RAM, suitable for everyday tasks but may struggle with intensive applications.
- The camera system includes a 32 MP main sensor, complemented by a 5 MP ultrawide, 2 MP macro, and 2 MP depth sensors, capable of 1080p video recording at 30fps, while the 13 MP front camera serves well for selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 4000 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 9.0 (Pie), providing a straightforward user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The absence of stereo speakers is noted, though it retains a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the LG K51S presents a balanced set of features for casual users.
