Design and display: LG K40
The LG K40 comes with a full metal unibody design. and so far we think there is only one color available. Blue you can see in the photos here. LG may decide to include more colors in the future. But we are only able to see the Aurora Black version of the phone. It is an attractive color, and when the phone doesn’t feel particularly premium it sits comfortably in the hand.
Although it does not compare products like the Moto G7 with its glass back and rounded edges. At 8.3 mm thick you will find it easily in your pocket. There is a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone, which we found was easy to reach while holding the phone. You may get a little irritated when your phone is flat on a desk, but at that time, you can use the power button and other screens unlock methods.
The screen is a 5.7-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1440 (HD +). We found this acceptable in our limited test time, but inspecting the quality of the display allows you to see the odd pixels.
This is equivalent to 282 pixels per inch, which is not as good as some other phones around this price point. It is also worth pointing out to the 18: 9 aspect ratio, making it look slightly more modern than some other budget devices that have not followed the trend toward longer, thinner screens. The phone is charged via the microUSB port at the bottom of the phone, while it also has a 3.5mm headphone jack on its side.
Battery And Camera: LG K40
The K40 sports a 3000mAh battery, and given that it is not the highest running phone, the phone should be charged for at least a day. We don’t know for sure yet, and we’ll make sure of its speed during our upcoming full review.
Here you will not get any special battery facilities, such as fast charging or wireless charging, sadly. The back of the handset has a 16MP single shooter. It is not ready to blow you away with your photography skills, but it should be able to get you if you want to take weird shots to upload on social media.
We briefly tested the rear camera on the show floor at MWC 2019, which struggled to take a quick photo, but the device we were using was probably running early software. We will save our entire decision for our full review. It also has a front-facing 8MP camera, but we have not yet had a chance to try it out.

The Review
LG K40
The Smartphone is coming a 2 GHz Octa-core processor. A 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, 16 MP rear camera 5MP Front Camera with Dual flash led. The screen is a 5.7-inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 720 x 1440 (HD +).
PROS
- Nice design Good Price
CONS
- Internal Memory
you stated that Internal Memory was bad, what do you mean by that please?
The Android system cannot work properly if the internal device storage is below 150 MB
The phone needs more memory. If you move between tabs on chrome they will refresh thus losing anything that you were in the middle of on another tab. I have determined this to be a memory issue.
