Ahead of the IFA Conference in Berlin, Germany, LG added another smartphone to its lineup. This smartphone is the LG K50S that was released alongside the LG K40S. The device packs in more power, more photographic prowess and more display goodness.
Without wasting much time, let’s go straight to business.
LG K50S Features (Preview)
Aesthetically, LG K50S is crowned with a teardrop notch and triple rear cameras. Like the LG K40S, it is blessed with the MI-STD-810G certification that grants ruggedness on the outside. With colours like the New Aurora Black and New Moroccan Blue, the smartphone maker gives you options of the smartphone you can purchase.
Movies and TV shows are enjoyable on the larger 6.5-inch IPS touchscreen. With such huge display and a 19:9 aspect ratio attached to it, the phone’s screen estate is catchy. Not to forget the 720 x 1520 pixels that serves as the display’s resolution.
Speaking of resolutions, this time in the camera section, there’s a 13MP sensor at the device’s notch for selfies. It has the ability to record video resolution of 1080p@30fps.
Turning to the back, the triple camera arrangement are noticed at the top of the smartphone. The main camera’s a 13MP wide lens, the second’s a 5MP ultra-wide lens while the third’s a 2MP depth sensor for bokeh images.
Under the display panel, there lies the MediaTek Helio P22 SoC with octa-core 2.0GHz CPU. Alongside the chipset is the PowerVR GE8320 GPU that offers graphics rendering. Meanwhile, the 3GB RAM is aboard to handle smooth running of apps and stuff.
The internal storage unit is a 32GB ROM that’s not only large but also expandable to 1TB using a MicroSD card. As Android 9.0 Pie works the software magic, the big 4,000mAh battery gives power to the smartphone.
