The release of budget LG K series smartphones is another attempt by the South Korean giant to gain a foothold in the market of low-cost devices. Some models turned out to be quite interesting (K8 and K10), but the K7 seems to be stuck in the past.
The phone is a parade of contradictions: modern design and outdated chrome bezels, a 5-inch display, but a modest resolution, support for microSD drives and 8 GB of internal memory.
Would this device be of interest? potential buyers? Let's get acquainted, understand and evaluate his chances.
MAIN FEATURES OF A SMARTPHONE
5First: large 5-inch screen;
Second: removable back panel;
Third: capacious battery;
Fourth: support for 2 Nano SIM cards;
Fifth: work in LTE networks.
Scope of delivery
The phone comes in a small cardboard box with a company logo and model name. The device lies with the screen facing the user. The display is carefully covered with a film indicating the features of the gadget.
The kit also includes a 5V 0.85A adapter, a microUSB cable, a 2500 mAh battery and standard instructions.
Design
About the design of the LG K7: it gives away its budget beginnings. Obviously, the engineers were too lazy to come up with something interesting, and therefore the developments from last year’s K or X series were taken.
The rustic design attracts those for whom a phone is just a phone. It is not a pity to place the device on any work surface. The plastic coating is easily washed off from almost any dirt and dust, but you shouldn’t experiment with water - dust and moisture protection is not provided.
Ergonomics are traditional for LG: a volume rocker is placed on the left, and a microUSB connector for charging is located on the bottom. The 3.5 mm socket was placed on the upper end. But where is the power key? But it was placed under the main camera, disguised as a fingerprint sensor.
Display
The screen is a rather interesting component of the phone. On one side it has a diagonal of 5 inches. On the other hand, there is a TFT matrix and a resolution of 854x480. Is this enough? Frankly speaking, not very much. You don’t really watch videos, you don’t read books. Another thing is that the phone was not created for multimedia entertainment, but for simple human calls and prompt communication with customers, suppliers and partners. For mail clients You don’t need a FullHD IPS matrix with viewing angles of 170 degrees. But working with the LG K7 in the light is still inconvenient.
Battery
The capacity of the removable battery is 2500 mAh. Not the highest figure in the class, but the situation is saved by several points: an economical platform, low display resolution and Android 6.0, which implements several formats for energy consumption in the background.
In call/mail/messenger mode, you can count on 2 days of autonomy. In LTE networks, the battery lasts confidently up to 7 hours, and this is very commendable.
Performance
The key combination is the 4-core MediaTek MT6737 processor and the Mali-T720 MP2 video core. Not the best powerful iron, but for stable operation the phone is enough for the eyes.
The situation is clouded by only 1 GB of RAM, which forces you to choose between running applications. Running several intensive programs at the same time will greatly slow down the system.
About 5 GB are allocated for data storage, with a declared storage capacity of 8 GB (part is allocated for Android and standard software). Additionally, you can expand it by another 32 GB without sacrificing one of the SIM cards.
Antutu shows more than 25,000 points, which is a very decent result for this system, despite some nuances.
LG K7 2017 runs on Android 6.0c branded shell from a Korean manufacturer. The interface is practically not redesigned, but all icons and menu elements are drawn to match the brand’s style.
The set of functions is minimal, but one thing remains unchanged - the SIM card management interface. One of the best among competitors.
Camera
All we can say about the cameras is that there are two of them: 8 megapixels and 5 megapixels, respectively. The main module demonstrates good results in automatic mode and performs better when shooting manually. There is support for FullHD video, which is no small achievement for a device of this class.
The front sensor is quite suitable for selfies, especially since the manufacturer has provided a software flash.
Conclusion
Who will be interested in the LG K7? At least for representatives of blue-collar professions and business people. It is not designed for games, multimedia, detailed viewing of pictures and other entertainment. This is a workhorse with a good battery and support for two active numbers.
The brand itself is also captivating. Do you want everything to work stably and without surprises? Choose LG K7.

Advanced camera
Along with the appearance update, the LG K7 also received an upgrade to 8 and 5 megapixel cameras. The photo modules of the smartphone are not only capable of producing high-quality images, but also received the functions of more expensive models. Thus, the selfie camera supports shooting by gesture, when you just squeeze your palm, after which the camera will count 3 seconds and take a photo. The cameras also feature virtual flash and one-touch shooting.
LG introduced the K7 smartphone in January, and now it can already be found on sale. The device belongs to the budget line, but has quite presentable characteristics. Today we will review the LG K7 smartphone and tell you more about it.
What makes the LG K7 design unique?
The device is positioned as a selfie phone. It is equipped with a front camera (5 MP), which allows you to take pictures using hand gestures.
