LG X Power K220

The LG X Power K220 is an affordable smartphone with decent specification ideal for mid level users. The smartphone weighs at 139 g (4.9 oz) and measures at 148.9 x 74.9 x 7.9 mm (5.86 x 2.95 x 0.31 in). The LG X Power K220 has a functional plastic casing with a chrome finishing edge. Although it is not a metal chassis, it still feels solid and pleasant to hold with a textured back cover. For users who have a sweaty palm, the texture on the back cover provides more grip to hold. There are three color options to choose from, which are Indigo, White, Gold. The LG X Power K220 is powered by a Mediatek MT6735 chipset and 2 GB of RAM. As for storage, it features an internal storage of 16 GB. 16 GB of internal memory could be insufficient for users who capture many photos or store a lot of documents and videos. This situation can be solved by adding up to 256 GB of external storage via the dedicated microSD card slot. The primary 13 MP f/2.2 camera features autofocus and LED flash. Additional features of the primary camera includes geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, smile detection, voice activation, self-timer, high dynamic range mode (HDR) and panorama. In addition, it is capable of capturing 1080p video at 30 fps. The secondary 5 MP f/2.4 aperture camera is able to record 1080p videos, too. The smartphone features a 5.3-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and multi-touch support. It has a screen-to-body ratio of 69.4% and a pixel density of approximately 277 ppi. To resist the screen from damages and scratches, it is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. While Gorilla Glass 3 is strong enough, it is definitely not as good as the latest Gorilla Glass 5. As for battery, it has a non-removable Li-Ion 4100 mAh battery built in, which is a much higher capacity than what is commonly available in the market. In addition, it supports fast battery charging. The smartphone runs on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and there aren't any news on an 7.0 upgrade. It will probably not get it as is the case for many mid-range and low-end devices. However, LG's software already includes some of the newer features available on Android 7.0. For wireless connectivity, it features 2G/3G/4G network, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.1, FM radio and GPS. As for input/output, it features microUSB v2.0 and headphone jack. Sensors built in on the smartphone include accelerometer, proximity, and compass. The LG is a good device for the typical mid-range users, but it falls short in terms of its screen and is quite pricey when compared to what some of the Chinese phone makers have to offer. What is loses on its screen and price range, it gains on its battery life. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

LG X power2

While Oukitel has tried to cram a large battery in its phone and succeeded it failed in other departments but with more and more users demanding larger battery capacities manufacturers have started to listen, one of them being LG which has recently released their take on a larger battery and uncompromising performance packaged into one called the LG X Power 2. An overview of the LG X Power 2 specs reveal that it is powered by an Octo-core Mediatek MT6750 processor with 16GB of internal storage, 2 GB of memory and naturally the larger battery rated at 4500mAh. So how does it stack up to its competitors? Starting with its LCD panel the LG X Power 2 is equipped with a 5.5-inch 720p screen while not impressive in terms of size it can actually help reduce its power consumption which can help prolong its battery life even with its large 4500mAh battery. Another thing would be its memory which at only 2 GB might seem scarce for an Android but manufacturers claim that with such a display size it should require too much memory. Of course, higher spec numbers tend to lead to biased views but it is safe to say while the LG X Power 2 specs might not be earth shattering, it is actually quite decent as a mid-range device since much of its performance boils down to how well the software is implemented. In terms of software the LG X Power 2 is preloaded with stock Android 7 Nougat which is actually a good thing since as it is the LG X Power 2 doesn’t have much resources for unnecessary programs. Moving on to its camera the LG X Power 2 is equipped with a 13 MP sensor which is actually quite snappy with focusing being swift and accurate. Along with the above the LG X Power 2 also sports a front facing wide angle 5-megapixel camera which can be useful for group shots. Because the LG X Power 2 is a mid-tier phone, users should not expect much from its chassis construction which is overall made of plastic but still remains rigid enough for day to day use. As for IO just like the K10000, LG has decided to use the aging microUSB standard which should really be phased out by now with the USB type C standard. At least LG’s micro USB is actually accessible by most if not all microUSB connectors unlike Oukitel’s K10000 which has a recessed microUSB. Naturally as this phone is marketed to have a large battery and long battery life times it should score, well right? Well sort of, while LG rates it to last at least 7 days actual usage is only 2 but this is only due to intensive use, LG’s metrics might be true if the user uses the phone somewhat conservatively as opposed to intensively, so maybe what LG says might hold water. In conclusion while the LG X Power 2 is neither premium nor a flagship. It achieves its main goal while sacrificing some but it isn’t as bad as the K10000 from Oukitel which really hurts its performance. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 418: Integrated graphics card that supports OpenGL ES 3.1 and DirectX 11 Feature Level 11_1 (with hardware tessellation). Compared to the Adreno 420, the performance of the 418 is about 20 percent slower (at 600 MHz).

ARM Mali-T860 MP2: Dual-Core version of the Mali-T860 graphics card from ARM for mostly Android based smartphones and tablets. E.g. in the Mediatek Helio P10 clocked at 700 MHz and produced in 28nm.

Qualcomm Adreno 505: Mid range graphics card integrated in the Snapdragon 430 and 435 SoCs. Based on the 500 generation and supports modern standards like Vulkan 1.0, OpenGL ES 3.1 + AE, OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 12.

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

ARM Mali-T720 MP2: Integrated graphics card in ARM based SoCs. Can be configured with up to 8 cores (T720 MP8) and 650 MHz core clock (at 28nm). Supports OpenGL ES 3.1, OpenCL 1.1, DirectX 11 FL9_3, and Renderscript.

73.33%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
