LG K7 LTE Review
The LG K7 LTE underpins 4G VoLTE on one SIM.
The telephone has a striking rock like outline.
LG K7 LTE keeps running on Android Lollipop 5.1 with a custom UI skin.
LG as of late propelled the K10 LTE and K7 LTE in India, from its new spending plan arrangement that was initially disclosed at CES 2016. Subsequent to having checked on the K10 LTE, it's currently time to investigate at its littler kin.
The K7 LTE is more reasonable, however that comes at the expense of elements and particulars. At Rs. 9,500, the telephone goes up against any semblance of the Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus (Review), Coolpad Note 3 (Review) and the base model of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Review). We should check whether the K7 LTE can makes its nearness felt among those heavyweights.
Look and feel
The K7 LTE is planned with the same rock like completion as its more established kin and from the front (or sides so far as that is concerned), it's difficult to distinguish the two one from the other. The bended edges of the presentation mix flawlessly with whatever is left of the body, loaning the telephone an extremely decent look. The back spread has a milder composition when contrasted with the K10 LTE however keeps on offering great hold. There's a 5-megapixel camera in the front alongside the closeness sensor. Unusually, LG has chosen to discard the surrounding light sensor, which implies you now need to do alter screen brilliance physically. Manufacture quality is generally not terrible for a plastic telephone.

The 5-inch in-cell touch presentation is one of the primary frustrations of the K7 LTE, as its determination is a measly 480x854 pixels. This outcomes in a pixel thickness of only 195ppi, which makes the edges of content and pictures seem rugged. Seeing points are still quite conventional notwithstanding as is daylight clarity. The charging port and earphones attachment are put at the base while whatever remains of the catches are at the back. The last have an extremely supple feel and can be activated unintentionally while driving.

The K7 LTE ships with a charger, information link, headset, and direction manuals. There's no flip spread like you get with the K10 LTE. The nature of embellishments is great and they feel sturdy, yet the K7 LTE itself doesn't feel also made as the K10 LTE. On the other hand, it is estimated lower. The low determination showcase is a noteworthy trade off here - it simply isn't reasonable for a screen of this physical size. There's additionally no reason for jettisoning the surrounding light sensor, particularly when the telephone is valued at almost Rs. 10,000. Much the same as the its kin, a notice LED is likewise misssing.
Programming and particulars
Underneath the hood, the telephone is fueled by a somewhat old Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 quad-center SoC with 1.5GB of RAM, which is a long way from perfect. We oversaw 18,690 focuses in AnTuTu and around 14fps in GFXbench. To place things into viewpoint, the InFocus Bingo 10, an as of late dispatched sub-Rs. 5,000 telephone, scored 23,639 in AnTuTu and 11fps in GFXbench. Having said that, genuine UI execution is not as terrible as the benchmark numbers. Aside from discontinuous slack, general execution is passable.

Different particulars incorporate 8GB of neighborhood stockpiling, a devoted microSD card space that can oblige up to 32GB cards, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n, FM radio, and GPS. There's no NFC or USB OTG support. The K7 LTE has openings for two Nano-SIM cards with 3G information on both SIMs. 4G with VoLTE and VoWi-Fi backing is available however just for the SIM in the main opening. The telephone additionally has a removable 2125mAh battery.

The product is for all intents and purposes indistinguishable to what we saw on the K10 LTE. LG ships a tweaked rendition of Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. There isn't much bloatware, thankfully, with the exception of a few additional items like LG Backup and SmartWorld. The last can be utilized to download topics, text styles, ringtones, and so on., to redo your telephone. The flip switches in the warnings shade can be altered, alongside the route bar at the base. You can change lock screen impacts and also alter the fast dispatch alternate ways for applications you wish to have there.
Execution
In spite of the low-end SoC, the K7 LTE makes an average showing with regards to of multitasking and running applications. There's a discernible slack that drags in from time to time however it's not all that terrible that it ruins the experience totally. Substantial applications, particularly amusements, take a while to stack and the execution isn't incredible. Pictures and content aren't as sharp as we might want them to be. The telephone doesn't warm up a lot with customary use yet it gets warm while gaming or charging. 4G functions admirably and we didn't have any issues with call quality either.

The telephone handles full-HD video playback well, including some of our high piece rate records, however certain sound codecs like AC3 aren't bolstered. The music player supports flac sound records and sound quality is adequate with the packaged headset. The back speaker isn't incredible for media playback however does its occupation for alarms. Out of the 8GB of nearby stockpiling, just 3.4GB is usable so you'll require a microSD card for your media.

The 5-megapixel back camera produces satisfactory pictures in light. It doesn't catch a great deal of subtle element in scenes, and hues turn out marginally quieted. We likewise figured out how to get some nicely sharp pictures while in movement. There's a touch of shade slack which deteriorates in low light. Talking about which, pictures taken in low light show a considerable amount of clamor which makes it precarious to get a usable shot. Close-ups are truly average yet at the end of the day, the sensor neglects to create great hues. Video recording maxes out at 720p for the front and back cameras. Quality is alright yet it can get truly precarious if your hands aren't relentless.
The camera application is moderate, much the same as on the K10 LTE so you'll need to manage without HDR, display, channels, and so forth. The application emulates a "glimmer" for selfies, basically by illuminating the whole show to light up your face.
Battery life
The blend of a low-determination show and low-controlled SoC make the K7 LTE ready to convey great battery life, which is about the main genuine saving grace of this telephone. In our video circle test, we figured out how to get 11 hours and 37 minutes of playback time, while standard utilization gave us around a day of battery life. Snappy charge is not accessible.

Decision
The LG K7 LTE understands of spot in today's ferocious spending plan cell phone portion. The great battery life and plan aside, it misses the mark on practically every tally. At that point there's the cost - at Rs. 9,500, it's basically excessively costly, making it impossible to much consider when you have telephones like the Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus, Coolpad Note 3, and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, all of which perform better and are less costly.
Much the same as the K10 LTE, LG necessities to rectify the cost of the K7 LTE and match it with telephones that share its list of capabilities. That would put it well under the Rs. 5,000 value level in India at this moment. On the off chance that LG finds a way to right this, the K7's bargains wouldn't appear to be so glaring, and that is the main shot it has at being significant.
