Comparisons Featuring LG K7
Short Review
- The LG K7 features a compact design with dimensions of 143.6 x 72.5 x 9.1 mm and a weight of 161 grams, making it comfortable to hold.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-resolution content.
- Performance is powered by either a Mediatek MT6580M or Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chipset, with a quad-core CPU and up to 1.5GB of RAM, suitable for everyday applications but not demanding multitasking.
- The camera setup includes a 5 MP rear camera or an optional 8 MP variant, capable of recording 720p video, while the 5 MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 2125 mAh capacity, but it lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The device runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, providing a basic user experience without the latest features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.1, although it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in multiple colors, including White, Black, Gold, and Titan for the LTE model.
- There is no water resistance, and the build materials are standard for its class.
- Overall, the LG K7 serves as a simple, functional device for users with basic smartphone needs.
