LG’s K series recently welcomed a new smartphone to the mobile market, the phone goes by the name LG K50. The smartphone enjoys cool features such as the dual rear cameras, facial unlocking, crisp chipset and some military-grade ruggedness.

With that said, let’s move straight into the article proper.

LG K50 Preview (Features)

To start with, I’ll talk about the military-grade ruggedness I mentioned in the introductory paragraph. It is enabled as a result of the MIL-STD-810G compliance that LG loves to see arrive into the market with their flagship phones. So, the Korean OEM adding this to the smartphone speaks volumes.

Due to the feature above, LG didn’t worry much about making the phone super slim, they just stuck with 8.7mm thickness and 170g weight. This isn’t such a big deal when you consider the ruggedness.

On the face of this smartphone, you’ll find the large 6.26-inch IPS LCD display that works with 720 x 1520 pixels resolution. This HD+ resolution works in tune with 269ppi pixel density to give clarity to your 480p and 720p movies.

Even so, there’s a dewdrop notch at the top of this display. The notch houses a sleek 13MP camera with f/2.0 aperture for photography and Facial ID purposes.

Turning to the rear, two cameras are placed at the top central part of the device. The cameras possess 13MP wide lens and 2MP depth sensor for bokeh data. There’s also a LED flash for adding brightness to images in low light conditions.

You can run multiple apps on the smartphone without bothering about lagging or slow operations as a 3GB RAM is paired with MediaTek Helio P22 chipset. Contained in the chipset’s arsenal are the Octa-core 2.3GHz processor and PowerVR GE8320 GPU.

To discharge software affairs, the smartphone maker infuses the Android 9.0 Pie OS within the smartphone. Lastly, a 3,500mAh battery governs how long the smartphone lasts.
