Build and Screen
Measuring 131.9 x 66.7 x 8.9 millimetres, the LG K4 is the most compact of the new K Series smartphones seen so far. It shows off a sleek design, although the body appears to be made of polycarbonate. LG says it is designed to offer sure and comfortable grip. The weight is respectable at only 120 grams.
The K4 sports a smaller 4.5-inch IPS display which is given a curvy feel by 2.5D Arc glass on top. The screen offers a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels – this may be considered measly, but it is manageable when you consider the small screen size.
Camera and Storage
A combo of 5-megapixel rear and 2-megapixel front cameras might not sound overly exciting for breathtaking shots, but the sensors could be good value if the device price is as affordable as expected. According to its maker, the LG K4 is built to allow users take superb selfies with features such as Flash for Selfie and Gesture Shot that are available on the more-expensive LG G Series of smartphones.
It comes with integrated storage of 8 GB for keeping pictures and other files. You will be able to expand storage allocation using a microSD card, although the limit is not known at this time.
Processor and Other Features
Under the hood, the smartphone carries a quad-core MediaTek MT6735M processor whose speed is capped at 1 GHz and is backed by 1 GB of RAM. It is obvious from this configuration that multitasking at full blast will not be feasible here. The LG K4 will boot Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system for a feature-rich usage experience.
The dual-SIM smartphone offers you lightning-fast browsing and downloading speeds with its support for 4G LTE connectivity. The 1,940mAh battery provided should enable at least full-day use given the screen size and resolution.
Pricing and availability
LG K4 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. LG K4 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N16,000 to N24,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
