Phone LG K5 (LJ K5) Overview and Characteristics. LG K5 - Bluetooth specifications are the standard of secure wireless data transfer between different devices of different types for short distances.

In the near future, the Russian consumer will be lucky to see the representatives of the representative of the company's budgetary-series from the company under the pride name K5 on the shelves. The model does not possess ultra-odds, but is designed to be a daily assistant and relieve boredom, for example, by actively serving when and anywhere, especially since it is enough to use only a single hand gesture.

Historical aspect

It would be interesting to know that the manufacturer has configured to turn the time to reverse and recall again about the usual and good-natured operating room android system 5.1 Lollipop? Perhaps the potential was not yet fully disclosed, and it was now it's time to show it in all its glory? However, this is only an assumption, while the facts indicate that the entire line "K" worked very well designers and this is just one reason not to question the quality price match. As it seems, in appearance LG K5. Some features of the LG G4 were reflected, but in general, we are again already a well-known image of glossy pebbles in silver, gold and gray performance.

Nostalgia

In addition to the version of OS, attention is noteworthy and the absence of a LTE module that for a large k-family, consisting of five electronic offspring, is not at all surprising, because in such cases, it is usually for each "Chad" of something lack of something. The classic model of the model approxes the 5-inch display with a resolution of 854x480p.

The vision of our hero is also under the gravity: the main chamber with the autofocus mechanism and with the support of the LED flash creates snapshots with a resolution of 5 MP, and the frontal is still modest - 2 megapixels. The capacity of the battery with a capacity of 1900 mAh Will-Neils is forced to remember times when the presence in the smartphone pocket was generally considered a luxury, so that the developers can only be said for the fact that they are trying not to break the threads of gadget history and add all new links to it.

Perhaps yes or just yes?

In terms of opportunities, a complete consensus is hardly achievable, since different comparisons Share the public on uneven parts. Obviously, processors, called inexpensive, are becoming more powerful and their resource for the classic task set is noticeably higher than the minimum threshold. On the LJ K5. 4-core mEDIATEK chipset NT6735 with frequency of 1.3 GHz. The operational memory of 1 GB, it seems that they will have to strain the full, so that it will always remain in an active condition. 8 GB is assigned to flash memory, but in fact the user will remain a little less. Fortunately, on hand, there is a chopstick chopstick in the form of microSD.

You can be sure that any directory of phones will be happy to present this simple, and therefore a very popular model. We are waiting for the release of Maestro-Selfie and the publication of others while unknown details, especially since the main volumes of phone sales will come to the countries of Europe, Latin America and the CIS.

LG K5 Smartphone Description (2016)

In March 2016, the Korean company LG Electronics announced the budget model of the LG K5 smartphone at a very affordable price. As in other models of this line, in the LG K5 smartphone model there is a concept curved screen, as well as some characteristics inherent in the company's flagships. The front panel consists of a 5-inch display with a conventional TFT matrix, with a very modest resolution, which was 480x854 pixels and 196 PPI. There is no need to say about the viewing angles that you can expect from an ultrasound device. In addition, the screen has not received a protective coating from mechanical exposure.

However, it is worth praise the manufacturer for convenient placement of keys, we mean the volume of the volume, which are located on the left side face. As for the back cover of the LG K5 smartphone model - it is stylized "under metal", it is clear that it is made of plastic, smoothly, like a frame around the screen. The enclosure of the smartphone model received a thickness of 8.8 millimeters, in addition, due to the rounded edges, the device is very convenient to use.

In order to perform everyday tasks in the LG K5 smartphone model, the processor is installed on four MEDIATEK MT6582 cores, and its Cortex-A7 kernels operate with a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz, where the MALI-400MP2 coprocessor is responsible for the graph. In addition to all the device received 1 GB random access memoryas well as 8 GB of an internal drive. You can expand the permanent memory when the microSD memory card is within 32 GB, and there is one very positive momentwhich is worth paying attention to. It concerns this memory card slot, which is separate, no hybrid trays, to support two Micro-SIM cards There are two separate slots.

In the LG K5 smartphone model, there is a 5 megapixel main chamber with F / 2.8 lights, autofocus and LED flash. In addition, selfie can be done using a 2 megapikmel front chamber.

The device was supplied with "clean" operating system "From the box" Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), as for the pre-installed software, its number is minimal. The removable battery received a modest 1,900 mAh, and the color solutions are represented by such options as titanium, gold and silver. You can buy a smartphone model LG K5 at a price of 90-110 EUR.

Today we present to your attention an overview of LG K5, which has a second name - X220DS. By the way, the DS abbreviation means that the phone is "two-minute". This smartphone refers to the budget segment, since its price per year of exit hesitated in the area of \u200b\u200b4.5 thousand rubles. What does the manufacturer offer for this money?

Ljji K5 goes in an interesting box made in white-orange colors. Inside is:

• device;
• warranty card;
• user's Manual;
• battery;
• USB adapter with exit top view;
• MicroUSB cable for connecting to a computer and charging;
• adapter for charging from a power grid with USB interface.

In the configuration there are no headphones, so they will have to be purchased separately.

Appearance

Now consider LV K 5 in more detail. The rear lid of the state employee is made of glossy plastic, which looks pretty good. Produced in two color solutions - dark gray and gold color.

The controls are placed on the edges, and not by one block on the rear panel, like new LG models. Many users are so much more convenient to use the gadget. Return to the origins can be attributed to the pluses of the design. It is worth praise developers including for the competent location of the buttons.

On the right face there is a button on and off the device. From above - a standard 3.5 mm connector for headphones. Left is the volume button. From the bottom of the port for microusb charging, as well as a microphone.

On the front side above the display there is a front camera, spoken speaker, sensors of approximation and lighting. Under the display - the company's logo.

If you flip the phone, you can see the main chamber's eyes and the LED flash. The back cover is removable, but it sits pretty hard in the grooves, so even when the fall does not flit. Under the rear lid there is a battery for 1900 mA / h, two slots for microSIM cards and a microSD card slot to expand memory supporting up to 32 GB.

The housing of the LG K5 is framed by a plastic frame for metal, but in fact it is painted plastic. A drawing is applied to the back cover that simulates ground metal. Unlike the display, she masks traces from the fingers.

Screen

The statemth has a 5-inch display, which is very poor quality. Although they say that the IPS matrix is \u200b\u200binstalled here, but more like QFC. If you look at the display on top, then there is a noticeable inversion, which is not observed from other sides.

The resolution is only 854 per 480 points, which is very small for this size. It would be useless if it were although HD. Unfortunately, there is no lighting sensor in the smartphone, so the brightness will have to be adjusted manually. Touch keys are immediately on the display. Multitach supports only two touches.

The display does not have protection against mechanical exposure, so it easily attracts prints. When purchasing it is necessary to take care of protection. The film or glass here will be binding to the acquisition.

The result is disappointing, because even in devices cheaper there are better screens.

Processor, OS and autonomy

In LG K5, a MEDIATEK 6580M quad-core processor is installed, which works with a frequency of 1.3 GHz. Video accelerator - Mali400mp. In the quality of "iron" this smartphone Even MEIZU M3 is inferior. And almost twice.

RAM 1 GB, which is now insane little. The built-in memory is 8 GB, of which the user is only 3.5 GB. But as it was said earlier, it can be further expanded.

Employee is running Android version 5.1. It is a completely "naked" shell with minimally pre-installed applications. There is no complaints about the speed of work "shell". Nothing is knocked down and does not change in places, it works fine.

Can such technical characteristics pull up modern games? IN GTA San. Andreas and Asphalt 8 will have to strongly cut the schedule for a comfortable game. The same situation will be almost all the "hard" games. The gadget can not be called game, but in the games it behaves adequately.

Say a little about autonomy. The battery here is the weakest place, because the device provides less than 2000 mAh. Somehow is not enough. Although the screen is not very demanding and "iron" more or less, but the phone is enough for one day maximum with an average use.

Camera

LJ K 5 has two cameras: the main one is 5 megapixel and the front for 2 megapixels. And they are both not equipped with autofocus. Another minus of this device.

Photos in terms of quality at all are not suitable.

Photos are a bit miserable. Text is impossible to remove, as it becomes not readable. Also very poorly, snapshots are obtained with poor lighting. Well, Selfie is not worth talking at all. An example of this snapshot can be viewed below.

On the settings, everything is standard. You can turn on geotargeting and adjust the contrast. There are scene programs - "Auto", "Night", "Sunset", "Party", white balance. It is possible to suppress flicker.

On the main chamber, the pictures go in format 4 to 3, on the front in full screen. There are also lower resolution modes - 3 MP, 2 megapixel and 1.3 Mp.

Video recording is conducted in HD format, that is, in a resolution of 1280 to 720 points. Supported by a shot by one touch.

disadvantages

LG K5 turned out to be a huge number of shortcomings, which should not be mentioned, since the manufacturer saved on what could not be saved:

• The speaker does not like the fact that he is alone. For playing music and calls, a conversational speaker is used.
• Assembly quality, as for a large company as LG, many users are extremely negatively surprising, because it is average. For example, the lid is completely closed, but very quickly begins to move away in the area of \u200b\u200bthe volume control buttons.
• Number of memory. From the declared 8 GB were expected to be available 3 GB, but in fact they are even less. It is placed on them only the most necessary. If you put some kind of tank game, then the memory is just not enough. The reason lies in the fact that all applications are installed on internal memory, and transfer them to the card is simply impossible.
• Camera settings are made of hand out badly, as they are constantly knocked when closing.
• The camcorder is "quiet horror." Again, the problem is how the software has been done for this device, which is responsible for the video. Even through engineering menu It is impossible to change the ISO value manually. You specify it, but the settings are not saved. Many users faced it for the first time.

RESULTS

LG K5 is a budget smartphone. You can find fault to it to infinity, but the price speaks for itself. He will fit well for a child or as a gift to parents. The advantages can be attributed big screen and support for 2 SIM cards, other than a lot of minuses.

LG K5 X220 released in 2016, and is positioned as a budget model in thin and stylish building, special features For selfie, as well as a bright 5 "display. Does the smartphone correspond to its positioning by the manufacturer - will understand during this review. In stores you can buy an average of 115 - 124 dollars. Prices are taken from well-known and popular stores, and are relevant at the time of writing this review.

There is also a model LG Q6, with similar design and characteristics, only slightly different to the processor, as well as the presence of 4G. But, apparently, Q6 is not sold in our territories, and is intended for the Western market. This review will be discussed by the LG K5 with the X220 DS console.

The technical part of this smartphone is stuck somewhere at the end of 2014, in early 2015, and meets budget models of that time.

Design

The appearance of the device clearly has some common features with the flagship of 2016 LG G5.

Similar roundings on the sides, the power and volume buttons move from the back cover back to the side ribs.

The back panel contains a drawing that simulates ground metal. The housing has a collapsible structure, made of plastic. The touch buttons below the display are missing, they are on the screen.

Dimensions: 141 mm in height, 71.6 mm in width. Case thickness 8.8 mm, weight modest - 120 g. The body can be in three colors: gray, gold and titanium.

CPU

The head of the hardware is a 4-core MT6582 processor, the maximum frequency of which is 1.3 GHz. This is the release chip of 2013, which was further used in budget models. But the developers in LG did not embarrass. The graphics processing is responsible for the MALI-400 MP2 video chip.

In Antutut, iron is gaining approximately 24 thousand points. In practice, the smartphone works well, it copes quite quickly with the tasks of varying complexity. In everyday work shows excellent results, it does not hang, copes with all applications. Almost any 3D games are launched. Naturally, the resource-intensive game projects will start and work consistently only due to the overall decrease in the quality of the texture and the absence of certain visual effects.

Memory

The amount of RAM - 1 GB. Someone will say that it is very small. And I will say that for a smartphone such a level is quite enough. Several applications can be simultaneously running, without prejudice to performance.

The volume of the built-in drive is 8 GB. This is enough for an economical user who will be able to install everything in 4 or 5 GB, to establish all necessary applications. If you need to store music and video somewhere - no problem. It is possible to install an external MicroSD Standard Drive, a maximum of 32 GB.

Autonomous work

The battery is the weakest link in this smartphone, along with the camera. Its container is 1900 mAh. With moderately active use, it will hardly be enough for the day. That is, if the charge indicator showed 100% in the morning, in the evening or at night the device will "ask for" to recharging. Many other smartphones whose capacity is slightly higher, demonstrates much better autonomy. This may indicate bad optimization. software or LG K5 components. At least the battery is removable, in which case can be replaced.

Camera

The main 5-megapixel camera with a diaphragm F / 2.8 is equipped with an outbreak. The quality of the photos obtained can be called very mediocre, given the requirements of the modern user. In general, as for a module with such characteristics, snapshots are fully normal. If not to take into account the lack of autofocus. Without it, make a normal photo text or scan the QR code is almost unrealistic. The most accessible permission of the recorded video - HD (1280 x 720).

The front camera on 2 megapors is well affected on the manufacturer's website: shooting on a gesture, a virtual flash due to the display of the display: "Say until the bad selfie." In fact, we have a very weak 2 megapixel module with a diaphragm F / 2.8, also without autofocus. As a result, we get very mediocre, often fuzzy and short snapshots. Although, for video call, the camera will still fit.

Display

The smartphone has a 5-inch display. The TFT LCD matrix is \u200b\u200bnot the highest quality, under a certain angle there is noticeably inverting colors. The resolution is also quite low: FWVGA (854 x 480). At the same time, the density of pixels is 196 PPI. However, as practice shows, you can use a smartphone with such a screen, the pixels are not particularly noticeable if you keep the device at a distance of an elongated hand. Lighting sensor is missing, brightness can be adjusted only manually.

According to the multitouch test, the screen supports at the same time a maximum of 2 touch. Although it is a very low indicator, for the operation of two touches is enough: you can easily scaling while viewing the photo, page in the browser, and the cards when using navigation. Safety glass Normal, not resistant to damage. The oleophobous layer, if any, it is very weak, the fingerprints remain abundantly across the front panel.

Network features

LG K5 is a two-minute model (standard micro Sim.), with support for networks 2G and 3G. The fourth generation networks are not supported. There are FM Radio, if anyone is interested. For data transfer, single-band Wi-Fi is used with Wi-Fi Direct support, and Bluetooth version 4.0. Also available GPS navigator, with support for accelerated cold start a-GPS.

Sound

This model uses a combined speaker for conversations, and multimedia. He is above the display. The solution is rather ambiguous. Multimedia speaker volume leaves much to be desired. However, in for alarm clock and incoming call This is enough if not in a noisy place.

Software

Smartphone works on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop). LG did not install her own shell, because we have a practically clean system, with a minimum number of pre-installed applications. The OS is not loaded with trash, it works fast and stable.

Individual characteristics

Here you can attribute except that the combined main and spoken speaker.

Pros and cons LG K5 X220

pros

In addition to the relatively low cost, it is difficult to allocate anything that could be considered an advantage over other models of this level. Also, of the advantages, you can select the quality of the build assembly. But minuses are even debuning.

Minuses:

• Weak battery;
• There are no autofocus in the main chamber;
• Video is written only in HD permission;
• Weak viewing angles;
• There is no 4G.

To whom the smartphone is suitable

LG K5 can be recommended to undemanding users who need relatively inexpensive smartphone from the famous brand, with the support of two SIM cards, a 5-inch display (not small, and not very huge), fresh OS, and not bad external species. Also suitable as a gift to a child. The main thing is that the user does not worry the presence of a good chamber.

Our review about smartphone LG K5 x220
