Short Review

  • The LG X power 3 features a plastic build with a glass front, measuring 154.7 x 78.1 x 8.9 mm and weighing 171 grams, available in Moroccan Blue.
  • Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
  • Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset with a quad-core 1.4 GHz CPU and Adreno 308 GPU, it includes 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
  • The rear camera is a 13 MP unit capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the front-facing camera is 5 MP.
  • The device is equipped with a substantial 4500 mAh battery, supporting 10W charging but no wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 8.1 (Oreo), it does not offer stereo speakers but retains a headphone jack.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and microUSB 2.0, though it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
  • Overall, the LG X power 3 combines decent performance with a solid battery life and basic camera functionality.

  • The absence of advanced connectivity options and software updates could limit its appeal in a competitive market.
