Summary
- The LG K42 features a larger 6.6-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, while the Xiaomi Mi 6c has a smaller 5.15-inch IPS LCD with a higher resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, resulting in a sharper image.
- In terms of performance, the LG K42 is powered by a Mediatek Helio P22 chipset, whereas the Mi 6c utilizes the more powerful Xiaomi Surge S2, enhancing multitasking and gaming capabilities.
- The camera setup on the Mi 6c includes a 12 MP main sensor with OIS, compared to the K42's 13 MP rear camera without OIS, which may result in better low-light performance for the Mi 6c.
- Both phones have a 4000 mAh battery with 10W charging, but the K42 supports Android 10, upgradable to Android 11, while the Mi 6c runs on an older Android 7.1 with MIUI 9.
- The K42 also includes a headphone jack, unlike the Mi 6c, which lacks this feature.
