LG’s K series is back with an updated selection of mid-to-low range phones, and the LG K10 is the most premium of the line-up for 2017.
It boasts a 5.3-inch HD display, 1.5GHz octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, microSD slot, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front snapper and a removable 2,800mAh battery.
Design wise the K10 has an all plastic build, but a metallic effect border does at least give it a little bit of premium appeal – pick it up though and you’ll be well aware this isn’t a flagship device.
The noticeably plastic finish isn’t really much of a problem, and it feels solid in the hand – you can also pick between black, grey and gold finishes.
It’s nice to see a fingerprint scanner on the rear of the K10, as the digit reading tech continues it proliferation down the tiers and into more affordable handsets. In the hand the fingerprint scanner is in an ergonomic location, but place the LG K10 on a flat surface and you can’t access the scanner – forcing you to pick it up. It’s a little frustrating, but not the end of the world.
The scanner doubles as the power/lock key too, with the volume key located on the left side of the handset – falling nicely under thumb or finger. The HD display is bright and clear, although the 720p resolution isn’t going to blow you away. On screen you’ll find Android 7 Nougat – the latest version of Google’s software – skinned with LG’s overlay which sees the removal of the app draw by default. It can be enabled in the settings though, if you don’t fancy dealing with all your apps on home screens.
You can easily switch between this wide view and a normal portrait mode at the touch of a button in the camera – perfect when you’re having a solo pout session.
this phone is available on jumia at only 14,999
