Product details

Fresh design with waves on the back. The unique wave pattern offers top-notch style and comfort. The scratch-resistant UV coating ensures that your smartphone looks flawless, while a side-mounted fingerprint reader keeps the back clean.

Fingerprint scanner at your fingertips: Quickly and easily unlock your phone with the fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button on the side. You can also take selfies with a double tap of the same button.

Huge display perfect for a binge-watching session: Or to follow the life of your favorite vlogger. The small hole in the display (the punch hole) provides more screen space and enhances immersion in the content being viewed.

Four ways to capture fantastic shots. The rear 13-megapixel standard camera, the 2-megapixel macro camera, the 5-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and the 2-megapixel depth camera are part of a striking quad-camera setup, offering endless versatile photography options.

Pure audio enjoyment: The LG 3D Sound Engine is based on 17 million audio samples, ensuring optimal sound quality at all times. Every genre of music, gaming, podcasts, and movies sounds phenomenal.

Power for the day: The 4,000 mAh battery allows you to play on the go, watch movies, and chat with friends from morning to night.

Military-grade tested: The passed MIL-STD-810G test shows that the smartphone can withstand extreme environments and tolerates both clumsiness and slightly rougher lifestyles. (Impact, temperature shock, vibration, humidity, high temperatures, low temperatures).
