Comparisons Featuring LG U
Short Review
- The LG U features a sleek design with dimensions of 147.6 x 73.2 x 7.7 mm and a lightweight build at 135g.
- Its 5.2-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, delivering a sharp pixel density of approximately 424 ppi.
- Performance is powered by an octa-core 1.14 GHz CPU, paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.
- The rear camera is a 13 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 1080p@30fps, while the 8 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 3000 mAh, providing adequate power without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the software experience is relatively straightforward but lacks the latest features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in white, black, and pink colors, adding a touch of personalization.
- However, it lacks water resistance and stereo speakers, which may limit its appeal.
- Overall, the LG U is a solid option for basic smartphone needs.
