Editorial report

LG K30 (2019) technical sheet

The LG K30 (2019) suits someone looking for a basic, lightweight phone, with a 3,000 mAh battery that holds less than most phones launched around the same time as its main trade-off. At 148 g, it weighs less than almost all phones of its time, while its 8.5 mm thickness is below average. Those compact proportions are among its clearest advantages for a simple handset.

Its 5.45″ IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1440 px and a pixel density of 295 ppi, below average for phones launched around the same time. Memory is another limitation: 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are less than most phones of its time offer, although storage is expandable. The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425, and the operating system is Android 9.

The rear camera has an 8 MP resolution and a 1/4″ sensor, among the smallest in phones of its time; video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. Connectivity includes NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, a 3.5 mm audio jack and microUSB. Its hardware and camera are among the weakest of its time, while its battery holds less than most. With a NeoScore of 2.7 and an overall standing among the weakest, the LG K30 (2019) is best matched to modest needs rather than photography, demanding apps or buyers prioritizing battery capacity.
