Short Review
- The LG Q Stylus features a solid build with a glass front, plastic back, and aluminum frame, measuring 160.1 x 77.7 x 8.1 mm and weighing 171 grams.
- Its 6.2-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels, providing a decent visual experience at approximately 389 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6750 chipset, with an octa-core CPU and options for 3GB or 4GB of RAM, ensuring adequate multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 13 MP rear camera with PDAF and 1080p video recording, while an 8 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The 3300 mAh battery supports 10W charging but does not offer wireless charging.
- Running on Android 8.1 (Oreo), the software experience is straightforward but may feel dated compared to newer versions.
- Notably, the device includes NFC for contactless payments and a USB Type-C port for connectivity.
- The absence of 5G support may limit future-proofing, but it does include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2.
- Available colors are Aurora Black, Moroccan Blue, and Lavender Violet, adding some aesthetic variety.
- Overall, the LG Q Stylus is a functional device with a focus on stylus input and basic features.
