This phone has been garbage since I took it from the box. Freezes, heats up abnormally fast, system updates are annoying as heck. Sometimes I get update reminders every two seconds. Insists I only use wifi for updates. I have unlimited so have no interest in also paying for a mobile hotspot. Doesn't system update after I go through all your stupid hoops. Still freezes up after it decides to update. Puts multiple apps I don't give 2 craps about on my phone without permission. Usually mindless, stupid games. Of course, if I want to trade this garbage in for a different phone I still have to pay the trash off.

I absolutely despise of this phone. It struggles doing the simplest of tasks like loading a chrome page or reading a fingerprint. The rear camera is ok but the front camera is horrendous. The microphone for calling and recording has no noise cancellation and has terrible quality. Texting is fine just laggy like the whole phone. Durability is good though.
Pros: Cheap, durable.
Cons: Slow, laggy, camera and microphone quality are horrendous.

Just like first review, laggy doing nothing on it. Sometimes takes 1 min to just read my fingerprint, 1 minute. And then when I get to the desktop i click on fb and it tkes 30 seconds.to read.my tap and 10-20secs to load. It is just a laggy pos

I love this phone great picture , sound and good service with wifi . I haven't had problems but every phone is made by different people. You never know what you're going to get. Take a chance though.

How is this phone for night time pictures and how do I change the settings for picture taking. Takes great indoor but I have a very hard time getting night pictures.

for the first year it was ok only memory storage problems towards the end that metro pcs fixed. This year it started shutting down even with a full battery and not turning back on for hours and now for days even after doing a reset. this is the last of the k series that I am buying I had problems with the 20 and the 30 so each time I upgraded this time I'm either going with another brand or another phone altogether.

The phone needs more memory. If you move between tabs on chrome they will refresh thus losing anything that you were in the middle of on another tab. I have determined this to be a memory issue. Screen also randomly dims if a colorful ad or image comes up when scrolling.

This is by far the worst phone I have owned!
It freezes doing the simplest things!
The 4g and wi-fi is just for shame!
I have to restart the phone 3-5 times a day just to get the internet working again.
I constantly have to restart apps.
Bluetooth is problamatic..
Just DON'T waste your money on this shit.

I love the sound and picture quality of this phone. I am not someone who needs to download many games. I mainly need a phone for talk and text features. I stream tv on the phone and it works great! If you want a reasonably priced phone for talk, text, and occasional picture taking, the LGK40 is the phone for you.

The phone is a mess its a newer outdated piece of junk. First off it cant handle any games that aren't 2D. Games and Apps constantly lag. It has like 30Gbs of space but comes with 19Gb already in use wtf. Force closes apps.
I bought this to play mobile games but some how my 2012 Samsung galaxy j9 can run these games way better. Heard this phone was good BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT

My wife and I have had great success with our LG K40's. Very fast, great graphics. No problem running all kinds of apps. Phone service has been great on Spectrum. The camera takes fantastic photos and video. Maybe we got lucky, but 2 out of 2 is pretty good. I would recommend this phone, especially for the price, you can't beat it. I was always a Samsung fan, but the bottom line LG is doing fine so far.

I am very upset with my LG K40 cellphone. it is Crap as far as i am Concerned! It has frequent lockups, no response from shortcut icons, High battery use, and i must do a factory reset alot. I guess you get what you pay for. Move up to an Apple Iphone if you want a better phone. This is my 2nd replacement of the Same phone. Same issues.

To add to my previous comment. (Reply to comment about glitches) I'm sure LG make great phones. Had an LG spirit that I was very impressed with. But for some reason something just went so wrong with the LG K40. Even he lower spec lg k11 demos I've tried seem great without any signs of the glitches I mentioned. If you prefer LG (especially double tap to wake/sleep) and don't need 32GB storage, rather get the older LG k10 or k11 if you can.

Anonymous, 23 Jan 2020This phone has glitches and is possibly the worst phone I h... moreI have the same problems. Glitches with keyboard (swipe feature has big problems no matter what keyboard i use.) Lags and freezes doing basic things like using Google maps. Stock calendar is a pain when searching for past events, click events before and half a second later it goes back to recent events only. Many android apps wouldn't work at all like they should on normal android (android 9 update seems to have significantly improved that)
You can get a Huawei y5 2019 with similar spec (2GHz processor, 2 GB RAM 32GB ROM) for about 2 thirds of the price. I wish I got that instead.
