The LG W30 is the company’s latest attempt at breaking into the budget segment. The phone is available in three striking colours and is light and easy to handle. The 6.26-inch HD+ display produces good colurs but the lower resolution means content lacks good sharpness. It’s powered by a MediaTek Helio P22 SoC, which is a little weak for the asking price of nearly Rs. 10,000. You also get 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
It runs on Android 9 Pie, with not a lot of customisations so you get the feel of stock Android. There are some addtional features such as gestures and panic button, which sends a distress call with three successive presses of the power button. The back has a 13-megapixel primary shooter, which has slow autofocus and produces avergae shots even in good light. There’s a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera too, which is fun to use. Low-light camera performance also suffers. The front 16-megapixel camera captures decent images but it’s not great.
Battery life is one of the strong suits of the W30. The 4000mAh battery easily lasts for a day and half, if not more, on one charge.
