Comparisons Featuring LG Q61
Short Review
- The LG Q61 features a solid build with dimensions of 164.5 x 77.5 x 8.3 mm and a weight that provides a comfortable grip.
- Its 6.53-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, delivering sharp visuals at approximately 395 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 chipset, with an octa-core CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing adequate multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 48 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, a 2 MP macro, and a 5 MP depth sensor, allowing for versatile photography, while video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps.
- A 16 MP front camera is available for selfies.
- The 4000 mAh battery supports all-day usage but does not feature fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 9.0 (Pie), the software experience is straightforward, though it may lack some of the latest features found in newer versions.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC, enhancing usability.
- The absence of 5G support may limit future-proofing, but the inclusion of a headphone jack is a plus.
- Overall, the LG Q61 offers a balanced set of features for everyday use.
