LG X Cam comes in a slim grand design with metal brushed finish and rounded corners housing a 3D Arc Glass that comes in Silver, Gold and Pink-Gold color option. Measures 147.5 x 73.6 x 5.2 – 6.9mm with no ports on top just the mic; volume rocker and sim card sd card compartment on left side and power/lock button on the right. Ports – 3.5mm audio jack, MicroUSB and Mic are located at the bottom.
Sports a 5.2 inch Full HD TFT LCD display powered by Octa-Core Processor. Per launching it said to have a Mediatek MT6753 at 1.14GHz but per LG PH brochure it is said to have 1.3GHz Quad Core. Memory is at 2GB and 16GB Internal Storage (at 10GB useable storage) but can be expanded via MicroSD Card Slot.
You do get complete connectivity features with WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC. It is LTE capable so you can have faster internet connectivity on the go. This is a Dual Sim Handset and is USB-OTG ready.
Finally its main feature is that it packs two rear cameras, one with 13MP while the other is 5MP Wide angle at 120 degree which is supported by LED flash. As for front camera, it carries an 8MP Front camera which has an aperture size of f/2.4. LG Camera UI just offers the basic that let you switch cameras between regular to wide as well as use the front. There’s a Pop Out Picture Mode that have creative filters to juice up your photos as well as Panorama mode.
Sure enough it did capture standard view angle and wide angle with colors on point as seen by samples below. We wished LG switch MP as wide angle needs more pixels so when you zoom and crop you still get minute details. Another thing, it is said that both camera has f/2.0 aperture but upon checking it is at f/2.2 aperture.
It takes decent shot for selfies but make sure you have a light source if not you get dim ones.
Runs on Android Marshmallow with LG UI on top with no App Drawer plus other value added apps. Settings are arrange into categories.
Carries a non-removable 2540mAh battery which is quite inadequate considering it is octa-core with Full HD which consumes so much power.
Price at 13,990 and comes with FREE LG Quick Cover.
Conceptually LG X Cam is nice but LG seems lost some of its touch. Pros for LG X Cam is that it has Full HD Display, Octa-Core, and LTE connectivity. Cons are mismatch rear camera MP, small battery and pricy.
