LG has announced the LG Q60, a mid-range smartphone that’ll compete with the likes of China’s Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo mid-range phones. The Korean OEM devised the LG Q60 to raise its bar in the budget market. Typically, LG isn’t known for offering much value in the mid-range market when compared to those Chinese trios. That’s about to change with this new LG Q60 with triple camera setup.

Design and Display
The minimalised dewdrop notch takes up the top slot of the LG Q60 leaving a substantial amount of space for display. Towards the base of the phone, the chin is large enough to house a fingerprint scanner but that isn’t the case as the touch ID is located at the rear below the camera array. Asides from the volume and power buttons, the Google Assistant button makes its way to the side of the device.
In like manner as the Huawei Y7 Prime (2019), this smartphone comes with 6.26-inch display and resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels. We tend to see more budget phones with this HD+ resolution; more recently Spark 3 and Spark 3 Pro.
Battery and Camera
Distributing the energy needed to fire up the smartphone for several hours is a non-removable 3,500mAh Li-Ion battery. With this, you can blaze music and browse the web throughout the day without hassles.
The photography elements here makes the device a strong contender for the best camera-centric budget phone. Its triple rear cameras comprise of the 16MP standard lens, 5MP ultra wide sensor, and 2MP depth sensor. The presence of the secondary shooters grants the ability to capture ultra-wide and portrait images. Up front, the 13MP camera executes cool pictures.
Hardware and Software
The processor that controls the operations on the phone is an octa-core 2.0GHz CPU. For smooth multitasking actions, a 3GB RAM is conjoined to the processor. Meanwhile, 64GB storage keeps the files on the smartphone.
It can be extended to 512GB using a memory card. Still, on its hardware, DTS: X 3D Surround Sound enables an immersive sound experience. Software functions are disseminated by the Android 9.0 Pie OS.
