LG L Fino Specs & Price

LG L Fino was announced by Korean manufacturer LG Electronics near the end of August, 2014 alongside the LG L Bello. Both mid-range smartphones appeared at IFA 2014 in September in an official announcement – around the time that Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 4 and Sony unveiled its Xperia Z3. LG L Fino features a 4.5-inch screen and runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat).

With the LG L Fino, LG wants to shake up the mid-range market, which seems to be the fertile battle ground for manufacturers these days.

The Display

LG L Fino features a 4.5-inch, True IPS LCD panel. The “True IPS” label LG uses with its phones is nothing more than the company’s own displays. Still, you’re getting a 4.5-inch display with 480 x 800 pixels resolution with this mid-range phone.

The 800 x 480 pixels resolution (pixel density: 207ppi) isn’t spectacular, but is decent enough for browsing the web and watching movies.

Processor and Memory

LG L Fino features a 1.2GHz, quad-core processor (Snapdragon 200) and comes with 1GB of RAM as well as 4GB of built-in storage with a microSD card slot that provides an additional 32GB of internal storage.

The 4GB of internal storage isn’t the best, but the additional 32GB of built-in storage will work well when it comes to storing documents, videos, and photos. At the same time, we continue to remind you that most apps from Google Play cannot be moved to microSD cards – so it pays to keep your local storage on the LG L Fino available for apps (and move your photos and documents to the microSD card instead).

LG promises 50GB of cloud storage as an offer that’s included with the LG L Fino right out of the box. With such small built-in storage, cloud storage is another exceptional option for storage.

The 1.2GHz quad-core processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 200) is acceptable for a mid-end smartphone. LG L Fino should offer a decent performance with the chipset and 1GB of RAM.

The Cameras

LG L Fino has an 8 megapixels camera with autofocus on the back and a 0.3 megapixels front facing camera for your photography moments.

The 8MP camera is a standard back camera these days, so LG’s commitment to an excellent camera on a mid-range device is commendable. The front camera is extremely under par. 0.3 megapixels camera for a smartphone like the LG L Fino is underhelming.

Operating System and Software

The LG L Fino will run Android 4.4.2 KitKat when you take it out of the box for the first time. Of course, this is behind the Android 4.4.3, Android 4.4.4 (KitKat), and Android 5.0 (Lollipop), but updates maybe coming.

LG is also offering some of its own stellar software to the LG L Fino: the Touch and Shoot camera, its Knock Code, Smart Keyboard, Gesture Camera Shot, and Quick Memo, as well as Quick Circle case compatibility.

LG L Fino is available in dual-SIM and single SIM variants with model numbers LG D295 and LG D290N respectively.
