Equipment

The smartphone came to the review in full solitude, without packing, instructions and charging. But, if you believe Internet sources, the configuration of the device looks like this:

• Smartphone,
• Power supply with removable USB cable,
• User's manual.

Appearance

With the first contact, LG X Power produces a pleasant impression of a stylish and unusual smartphone. Case and non-removable rear panel Made from plastic, front - covered with glass.

The entire functionality of the front panel is concentrated in the upper left corner: there are a red indicator of new notifications, front camera, lighting and approximation sensors, spoken speaker. Hardware buttons are integrated into the operating system and customized depending on the user's preferences (more in the section " Software"). Below the screen "bustle" logo LG.

On the reverse side of the smartphone there are a basic camera with a flash and logo of the manufacturer, and at the bottom - the cellular perforation of the main dynamics.

The smartphone is equipped with two microphones, one of which is located on the upper face, and the second is on the bottom, and is used during the conversation.

In addition, there are 3.5 mm and Micro-USB connectors below. By connecting the headphones to a characteristic click, the plug is maintained as hard as possible, the phone is literally hanging on the wire, and when you try to disconnect the connector, the connector resists and therefore the process requires considerable effort. With Micro-USB things are the opposite to the above described. Due to the absence of the attached configuration of the LG X POWER presented for review, use original cable It turned out to be impossible, and when using "ordinary" wires, the connector seems flimmer, there is a small backlash at the point of contact.

On the left there are buttons for adjusting the volume and compartment with nanosim and microSD slots. As already taken from manufacturers of mobile electronics, the client has a choice between using two SIM cards and one SIM card and memory card.

The power button is located on the right side of the smartphone, which is convenient when using both right and left hand.

Despite the impressive dimensions of the LG x Power screen, it is well held in the hand due to the rounded edges of the case and the embossed rear panel, which prevents the slipping of the smartphone.

Display

The first distinctive feature of the LG X POWER is big screen Diagonal 5.3 "resolution of 720x1280 and pixel density 277 dpi. Image quality is good, bright colors, saturated. Contrast at the desired level.
There is a subjective view that the human eye ceases to see individual pixels on the smartphone screen at a distance of 30 cm with a density above 300 ppi. With regard to the reserved gadget, I think, opinions are also divided. The clarity of the content on the screen is quite satisfactory, however it may seem that the symbols of the displayed text have a blurry contour.
The brightness change range allows you to comfortably use the phone both in complete darkness and in excess lighting conditions.
A little annoying the operation of the light sensor and adaptive brightness adjustment, all the time selecting the brightness level so that nothing can be seen on the display. Benefit This feature can simply not include and all the time adjust the brightness itself.

In addition to the excellent brightness of the display, the user experience improves perfectly "cleansing" screen oleophobic coating and the Multi-Touch technology used, recognizing up to 10 touch simultaneously.

Iron

Inside a stylish thin case "hiding" probably the most popular "set" for smartphones price category.
"Brain" - mediaTek processor MT6735, four Arm Cortex-A53 cores 1.3 GHz each. In addition to support LTE, among the features allocate support random access memory more than 4 GB, maximum resolution cameras up to 13 mp and increased performance Compared to CORTEX-A9 processors.

The graph is responsible for the pair with the above processor MALI-T720 chipset, which is designed for undemanding games and recording and playing Full-HD video with a frequency of 30 frames / s. The results of benchmarks are far from medium, but also the terrible name cannot be called.
In practical use of discomfort, this unit does not cause. Games do not brake, the quality of textures - without any complaints, taking into account low expectations.

The amount of RAM 2 GB will not cause headaches from undemanding users. In everyday use, about 70% is activated.

LG X POWER equipped with 16 GB internal memoryFrom which the user is released 10.32 GB. This is quite enough for the average number of different content, from games to loaded navigator maps. For those who will be small, there is a microSD memory card slot to 32 GB, but it is necessary to remember that its use is possible only with one SIM card.

Software

LG has long equipped its devices with its "copyright" Android. In X Power installed the sixth version of the most popular mobile operating system Code name Marshmallow. It differs from "stock" the ability to select the type of main screen, switching between tabs and a list in the settings, customization of the background buttons for quick access To the main functions of the smartphone, as well as the installed program set: LG Backup to create backups, Remotecall service for communication with service center In case of problems, Capture + and QuickMemo + to work with screenshots and the creation of notes.

Appearance Shells can be changed using wallpapers and topics that change even icons of standard camera type applications, calendar, etc. All this can be installed through the LG SmartWorld application - "Local" application store. You can also download some games and programs.
A fact that can embarrass some users will be lack of a standard gallery, instead of it - Google photos with an extended arsenal of capabilities such as synchronization and storage of photos and video in the cloud, but you must first figure it out in its principle.
When connected to a PC, the phone does not detect and the list with connection modes does not appear. This problem is solved by installing drivers from the official LG site.

Communication and sound

Spoken speaker is quite loud, sound quality. The big plus is the support of two Nanosim format SIM cards and lTE standard. The Internet can only be used with one SIM card. The Wi-Fi module works perfectly, the signal finds quickly and does not lose it.

The GPS module is very smart, almost instantly discovered 23 satellites and began to use 11 of them.

Despite the first glance, the simple main speaker, hear the ringtone of the call will not be difficult even from the next room. The maximum registered level of the noise published is almost 83 dB

Battery

The LG X Power review would be incomplete without mentioning it in it the main pride of the presented smartphone - its lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 4100 mAh. Checking it with a battery test from trisboks version 2.0, after an hour the charge level was still 100%.

If you want to buy one of the most long-playing smartphones and at the same time give no more than 10 thousand rubles for it, in our online store you should surely look at LG X Power K220. As the name follows, the main focus in the smartphone is made on a solid battery life. For brand fans, this has become a pleasant surprise, because LG extremely rarely announces gadgets with a leased battery.

Two days on one charge!

LG X Power K220 became the most affordable of all brand models with powerful batteries. With a capacity of 4100 mAh smartphone in thin compact building Demonstrates impressive autonomy indicators.

Due to the thoughtful optimization, the gadget is able to work for at least 2 days at an average load. And on the maximum turnover with the launched Wi-Fi module, the active video player and the maximum screen brightness, the smartphone holds a charge of 18.5 hours. Such results have become recorded not only among budget gadgets - LG X Power K220 easily bypass even representatives of the average price category!

Balanced screen

LG X Power K220 demonstrates an applied approach to a combination of the display parameters and battery capabilities. The smartphone received a large screen with a diagonal of 5.3 inches with a resolution of 720 x 1280 and a pixel density of 277 points. The combination of these parameters provided high quality Images with bright and juicy colors, but without excessive load on the battery.

An excellent bonus to the impressive display characteristics was a high-quality oleophobic coating and a multi-touch with a recognition of 10 simultaneous touchs.

Powerful "heart"

LG X Power K220 received, perhaps, one of the most technically thought-out chipsets is a 4-nuclear MEDIATEK MT6735 at 1.3 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. It differs not only to support huge number Functions, but also low power consumption. In this case, the processor without difficulty supports the work of heavy applications and launches games on medium settings, keeping the frame rate not less than 30 FPS.

No details will miss

By the quality of images of the LG X Power K220, it can safely remove with more expensive models. The main chamber of 13 MP makes excellent pictures even in difficult lighting conditions, and the 5-megapixel front module with aperture F / 2.4 helps with spectacular selfie.

Manufacturers of smartphones knew perfectly well that the users of mobile gadgets at the MWC 2016 exhibition was already not easy. That is why LG submitted a new series of X-smartphones. You should not compare these devices with Sony Xperia X, here we are talking about the average apparatus at an affordable price, but with sufficiently specialized features. Well, this is a LG X CAM model, as well as unusual LG X Screen.. And if the first smartphone got unusual double chamber (A rather popular trend for the future, judging by the latest events), then the second is an additional display.

Positioning LG X Screen

Everyone remembers the time of phones with a monochrome liquid crystal display when the time and system notifications were shown on the screen on the screen. As soon as mobile phones with color displays came to shift, some developers of folding models wished to leave the notification function. They brought her to the back of their clamshells, as in the same Samsunga and motorwrites. But after the android smartphones occupied the main segment of the market, the manufacturers did not remain anything as ordinary LED indicators, although some devices with AMOLED displays were still able to output system notifications in standby mode, although for a short time.

Anyway, it is difficult to talk about the benefits of an additional display. The design of the device is quite ordinary: a small apparatus with rounded corners and a slightly rounded glossy frame. But it is necessary to compare it, first of all, with the flagship LG V10: And if LG X Cam inherited from him photographic featuresT. LJ X Screen received additional screen. It is right frontal chamber At the top of the apparatus and works constantly.

Capabilities

The rest of the smartphone is a medium-graded statement. Quad-core chipset with a frequency of 1.2 GHz, plus 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB - permanent memory, 13 and 8 megapixel chambers. The user can buy dozens of smartphones of different brands with similar characteristics. But it is the auxiliary display that allocates a novelty among other offers. Also, the novelty will want those who are important support for LTE-Networks and work on the new actual OS Android 6.0. Well, of course, this phone Those who wish to get instant access to the latest notifications and basic functions will want.

Long keeps the charge and quickly charged; Convenient switching active sim card; Auto photography, especially for selfistors; Good sound music;

Minuses

I would like to have more memory.

Review

Stylish, discreet, elegant. The phone looks great. Excellent work on geometry: the body is thin, the phone itself has verified proportions that not only look good, but also allowed to get excellent ergonomics. The phone is convenient to use on the run, driving, in the store - it is very important for me. Charging exceeds expectations. Including fast charge - I have not thought before, as far as it can be convenient. I think that all active or just busy people will appreciate this option. Camera and the screen also made a pleasant impression. Probably, now you will not surprise anyone, but nevertheless, without them anywhere. The colors of the screen are very saturated, but at the same time they do not cut the eyes (which I surprised to find in some other brands). There is also a special mode that makes the screen even more comfortable (for reading). I have no complaints to the camera, although I evaluate this as a regular man in the street. Photos are good. At the same time, technical details are remarkably worked out: the shooting of face recognition (convenient), a selection of effects in an interesting and convenient interface. Knock code (unlocking the phone tapping on the screen) This is not my first phone LG. I adore this feature. I am very glad that she was left.
