Comparisons Featuring LG Q70
Short Review
- The LG Q70 features a sleek design with a glass front and back, complemented by an aluminum frame, measuring 162.1 x 76.8 x 8.3 mm and weighing 198 grams.
- Its 6.4-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 2310 pixels, providing sharp visuals at approximately 398 ppi, though it lacks HDR support and refreshes at 60Hz.
- Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 chipset, it delivers solid performance with an octa-core CPU and Adreno 612 GPU, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
- The camera system includes a 16MP front-facing camera capable of capturing decent selfies, while video recording supports up to 4K at 30fps.
- A 4000mAh battery ensures longevity, with 15W wired charging but no wireless charging option.
- Running on Android 9.0 (upgradable to Android 10) with LG UX 9, the software experience is user-friendly.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The phone also retains a headphone jack, which is becoming less common.
- Overall, the LG Q70 combines a solid build, good performance, and decent camera capabilities.
- However, it lacks some modern features like HDR and wireless charging.
