LG K42 - news and reviews

LG K42 Review: Military-Grade Budget Smartphone That’s Pointless Buying
Gizbot
LG K42: The LG K42 is available in a sole 3GB RAM and 64GB default storage variant, which costs Rs. 10,990 in India. The smartphone draws power from the MediaTek Helio P22 SoC and a 4,000 mAh battery. Here, I’ve detailed my experience with the LG K42, explaining if this smartphone makes for a good buy or not.
LG K42: a beauty not a beast
Telegraph India
This smartphone is a hardy companion for people who know the importance of having a second phone
LG K42 quick review: Just enough to make the cut
HT Tech
The handset aims to deliver a durable and robust offering to those who want their regular Android experience but wrapped in a shock, water and drop resistant body.
LG K42 review: Close but no cigar
Gadgets Now
LG K42 has a new design, a large display, a decent battery life and an average camera performance. Though the phone fairs well on many fronts, what may not work is the price segment in which it falls. Brands like Xiaomi, Realme and for that matter, even Samsung offer multiple options in this price range. And to be fair, they come with more features than offered by LG K42.
