LG recently launched the K10 LTE and K7 LTE in India, from its new budget series that was first unveiled at CES 2016. After having reviewed the K10 LTE, it's now time to take a look at its smaller sibling.
The LG K7 LTE is the smaller sibling of the K10 LTE, and both are part of the company’s new value-focused K-series. The 5-inch in-cell display has a rather low-resolution which causes text and images to appear jagged. Despite this, it’s still decently legible under sunlight with good viewing angles. The phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 210 SoC, which isn’t the most prudent choice for a lower mid-range smartphone in 2016. While UI performance is not bad, this phone lacks any punch when it comes to heavy apps and games. The K7 LTE gets a 5-megapixel camera which manages acceptable pictures but only in ideal lighting. Battery life is probably the only real redeeming feature of the phone, and it will easily last you a full day. However, at Rs. 9,500, the K7 LTE feels too expensive. You can get better and more powerful smartphones for a lot less.
