We could say without any doubt that the South Korean company LG has not fared badly during these last 3 months in the smartphone market. After the sale of 12 million terminals, its new creature lands on the market: the LG Optimus F6.

A device that seeks to open a gap in the mid-range thanks to its not inconsiderable quality and affordable price that will delight any average Android user. Let us therefore proceed to its analysis:

Technical characteristics

- It consists of an HD screen that runs away from the “phablet” concept thanks to its not inconsiderable 4.5 inches with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. Its IPS technology gives it very natural colors and a brightness that responds very well to sunlight. It responds very well to the touch.

Processor: Features a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 CPU, along with 1GB of RAM. The operating system that represents it is Android Jelly Bean in its version 4.2, which we do not dare rule out that it may receive updates in the coming months.

- The camera features two well-differentiated lenses: an 8-megapixel rear one with an LED flash, autofocus and a BSI sensor, in addition to making HD video recordings at 30 fps. Its front camera reaches 1.3 megapixels, useful for profile photos on social networks or the typical selfies that we usually send through applications like WhatsApp.

The Optimus F6 also has a capture application, which incorporates a large number of filters and options that allow improving photographs. In well-lit spaces we will get high-quality snapshots, with good color accuracy and well-defined contours. As usual, in darker conditions the images lose clarity, but in general they are focused and clear. The camera also features zoom, five shooting modes, and seven scene modes. The quality of the recordings is equally satisfactory, both fixed and moving. It features digital zoom, geo-tagging, flash, brightness, white balance, and color effects.

- Design: the LG Optimus F6 is a compact phone that has dimensions of 127 x 65.8 x 10.2 mm thick and weighs 124 grams. It is made of quality soft plastics. On its left side it features a volume controller and a hot key, on its right side is the power / sleep button. At the top there is a headphone jack and at the bottom it has a micro-USB port to charge it. The battery cover is adorned with a mosaic-like design that is most clearly seen in bright light.

- Other specifications: it presents, like almost all terminals today, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, WiFi n, NFC, GPS, although we must highlight its compatibility with the new 4G mobile networks. It also has a USB 2.0 port and FM Radio.

Its battery is one of its strong points, since it has a capacity of 2460 mAh, which guarantees good autonomy. Its internal memory capacity is 8 GB, expandable through microSD cards up to 32 GB.
