2.5D curved glass and metal frame
The LG K10 2018 follows the line of its predecessor. It has a fairly slim chassis, with a thickness of 8.6 millimeters. In addition, its distinctive design and rounded metal frame are complemented by its 2.5D curved glass. The terminal screen has a size of 5.3 inches and an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720. Nothing has changed in this with the 2017 model. However, we found some differences. The LG logo has been moved to the back of the phone, and the phone's speaker now matches the black front panel. On this occasion, the fingerprint reader is not missing, which is still located at the back of the terminal.
Different versions for the mid-range
Inside the new LG K10 there is room for an eight-core processor running at 1.5 GHz. As confirmed by the company, there will be three different versions depending on RAM and storage.
- K10 +: 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of space expandable by microSD up to 2 TB
- K10: 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of space expandable by microSD up to 2 TB
- K10α: 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of space expandable by microSD up to 2 TB
The same happens in the camera section. The company will release several versions with different resolutions.
- K10 +: 13 MP Rear; 8 or 5 MP Front (Wide)
- K10: 13 MP Rear; 8 or 5 MP Front (Wide)
- K10α: 8 MP Rear; 5 MP Front
Another new feature of the K-series camera is Flash Jump Shot, which takes a photo every three seconds (up to 20 photos). Then put the images together into a fun GIF for easy sharing. Flash Jump Shot can be used with the front or rear cameras.
The LG K10 2018 is also governed by Android 7.1.2 Nougat and equips a 3,000 mAh battery (non-removable). Regarding the connections, the device includes Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, WiFi, LTE, NFC and USB 2.0 Type B.
Price and availability
The device will be seen during this year's Mobile World Congress, which will be held in Barcelona from February 26 to March 1. Regarding availability, the company has confirmed that the LG K10 2018 will be available in Europe, Asia and Latin America. Of course, it has not given exact prices or dates. Hopefully they will expand information next week.
