Following the rollout of its smartphones, the LG Q7 is the mid-range among the bunch and it has some premium touches. One of the perks is the military toughness certification, dust and water proof making it more suitable for users living in a tough environment. All of this culminates into style and durability with a modern build as well as reduced bezels to go with it. Nonetheless, the specs are of mid-range grade with variants like Q7 Plus and Q7 Alpha having little changes made in the spec sheet yet still the same body.

Design and Display
From an aesthetic stand point, the smartphone has a nice metallic unibody build with nice rounded edges. It also has a nice feel to it with its smooth finish and quality metallic material used in its making. There is almost no bezel at the side of the screen and a well reduced one at the chin or on top too. The smartphone has a 3.5mm audio jack, a feature that is gradually been left aside by some smartphones.
Not a fan of big screens? That would mean the LG Q6 is right within your range with its average sized screen. The LCD screen is rounded at the corners and comes with a Full HD+ resolution. Visuals are quite good on the 5.5-inch display as well as clear visibility outdoors.
Battery and Camera
This is one of those smartphones that have a battery just within the average capacity bracket. The 3, 000mAh on the smartphone will offer you about a day in terms of battery life or even less depending on your usage. Thankfully, there is fast charge technology on the smartphone but not the privilege of wireless charging.
Fast forward to the camera, the smartphone has a single 16MP camera on the back with flashlight of course. The rear camera is capable of blurring the background around the subject and also taking wide-angle pictures as well as some AI tweaks. The front is adorned by an 8MP camera of its own with support for portrait mode, AI beautification and a number of other things.
Hardware and Software
To the internals, the smartphone has a standard entry level chipset from MediaTek which is competent when it comes to normal usage but is definitely going to stutter if large tasks are engaged. The Mediatek MT6750S has eight cores and it is paired with a Mali-T880 GPU crunching the graphics.
Furthermore, the device comes with a 3GB RAM to make navigation through multiple apps easier and performance a bit smoother. As for the storage space on the smartphone, there is 32GB of that which can be increased to 512GB using a MicroSD card. For software sake, the Android 8.1Oreo on the smartphone is not a stock OS coming with some modifications from LG and you should expect some bloatware too.
LG Q7 Pricing and Availability
The LG Q7 will be sold for close to 150, 000 Naira depending on the deal from the retail smartphone hub or online stores based on your location.
