Short Review

  • The LG X Skin features a slim and lightweight design, measuring 144.8 x 71.4 x 6.9 mm and weighing only 122 grams.
  • Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity with a pixel density of approximately 294 ppi.

  • The rear camera boasts an 8 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while a 5 MP front camera is available for selfies.
  • The battery capacity is 2100 mAh, which may require frequent recharging due to its limited size.
  • Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is straightforward, though it may lack some modern features found in newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
