Reviews for the LG K61

74% LG K61 smartphone review - This LG cell phone is too old-fashioned | Notebookcheck
The LG K61 looks chic, but comes with Android 9 and a rather slow processor for its price range. But maybe the LG phone can surprise us? You can read more in the review.

60% LG K61 review: A good camera isn't enough to make it a good phone
Source: Neowin English

While I have a bit of a soft spot for this phone's design and camera, it's hard to recommend it. As I said with the TCL 10L, you may be better off getting something like the TCL Plex from last year, which is often discounted to be cheaper than this one.

Only a few smartphones have larger screens.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.

Only few smartphones are more lightweight than this.

LG:

LG Electronics Inc. is a subsidiary of the LG Group. LG is the world's second-biggest maker of televisions and third-biggest maker of mobile phones. With its headquarters in South Korea, the company has 75 subsidiaries worldwide that design and manufacture televisions, home appliances, and telecommunications devices. LG is an international laptop manufacturer of medium size with few reviews.

After a few years, LG largely withdrew from the laptop sector. In the smartphone segment, LG is a medium-sized manufacturer (not among the Top 5 in 2015 and 2016).

73%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.
