Editorial report

LG Tribute Empire technical sheet

The LG Tribute Empire is for people after a basic phone, but its 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage mean keeping expectations modest about available memory. It is compact and light, weighing 140.1 g with an 8.1 mm-thick body. The 5-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1280 px resolution and 294 ppi. Its modest size suits straightforward use, though there is less room on screen than on a larger phone.

Storage is expandable, giving more room for files, but the 2 GB of RAM remains a constraint. The 2,500 mAh battery is a substantial compromise: it has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity includes a single Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The 8 MP rear camera records video at 1080p at 30 fps, while the front camera has 5 MP.

Android 8.1 rounds out a phone with straightforward specifications. The LG Tribute Empire may suit basic needs and anyone looking for a light handset with expandable storage. The trade-offs are limited RAM and a battery with relatively low capacity. It is an entry-level choice whose low weight and memory expansion are useful, but they do not erase the constraints imposed by its memory and battery.
