lg K10 ( 2017)
LG K10 (2017) is an upgraded edition of old LG K 10 (2016) and has very simple but elegant pebble shape design. The rear side of this phone is slightly different as compared to the old 2016 LG K10. The fingerprint sensor is placed under the power button and if it pressed three-time it triggers the 112 SOS emergency call. The removable back panel of the is built of plastic but the durability of it is very good and it gives a metal finish.
The LG K10 sports the display size of 5.3 inches. It is HD IPS display with 227ppi which is quite legible even under the direct sunlight but struggles a little bit due to reflective nature of the display. The color reproduction is good and vivid. The low resolution affects the display quality. In the display setting, it has an option through which you can change the color saturation in getting a Comfort view. It allows users to switch to warmer color time to reduce stress on eyes.
The LG K10 (2017) comes with a 13-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front camera. In terms of picture quality, the 13 MP can easily handle the day-to-day phone photography with good detail especially in close up shots with balanced color accuracy. In case of night light, the phone’s camera is not much effective and shows grains. The camera app is very user-friendly and easy to use and doesn’t feel cluttered but the autofocus of the phone is a little bit slow. The front selfie camera is basic and enough for individual selfies.
If your talk about the software the LG K10 runs on Android 7.0 which makes it one of handful phones those runs on Nougat at this price point. The phone didn’t lag while our usage, but it also not snappy like Honor 6X and become sluggish while using multiple apps simultaneously. However, we were able to play Asphalt, FiFa 16 soccer like heavy graphic intensive games on it without any problem. Also, there was no heating issue while playing games, watching video and in-camera. The phone is powered by a removable 2,800mAh battery and gives a battery life of almost a day on moderate usage. In our video loop test, we played YouTube video at 720P and we got 4 hours and 48 minutes. Bottomline: Overall the LG K10 (2017) is a very good phone but if you see its price tag i.e.
` 13,000 then it is a tad high for the configuration it offers. You can go for Honor 6X or Coolpad Cool1.
