Anonymous, 12 Feb 2024Bought it back in 2017 and it did the basic job I needed it... moreI had this phone since early Summer 2018. I bought it urgently as I didn't have a smartphone at the time (my first smartphone, an iPhone 3GS hand-me-down, which I didn't really like, had died and cracked due to a swollen battery). I needed to take pictures for an event and it was the cheapest good-looking phone O2 had to offer (I think I paid £49 new on sale). I quickly realised how low-tech this phone is when I ran out of storage, having to buy an SD card which cost half the price of the phone at the time (thankfully I had old gift vouchers). Not being able to play Pokemon Go when it released was disappointing too. That said, it is a sturdy phone, and it has lasted me until recently when I couldn't make room for storage anymore (I deleted a lot of apps, returned to factory versions, disabled updates, cleared cache and data, etc). I'll be retiring this phone soon and keeping it as a backup phone. Since LG has stopped making phones, it is a piece of tech relic.
I'm typing all this from my LG K4 2017.

Bought it back in 2017 and it did the basic job I needed it to do. YouTube and web browsing. Manged to get 2.6 gb of usable space after uninstalling or factory resetting most useless apps. Got a better phone since and the LG K4 did it's job well, wouldn't recommened getting it in todays market of cheap smartphones.

Anonymous, 04 Apr 2018Dude, those numbers are off by a multiple of more than 2.
... moretrue, the processors and OS are fairly old... OS mostly thats up to whoever wants what
but the processors, the ARM cortex, seems like they're used in tons of different devices, including something like the NES and SNES classic made by nintendo
It doesn't really matter if the processor is old, so long as it works within the companies budget in making the product
comparing this phone to the LG K4 2016 model, there are differences that this one has best

This little phone is perfect if you are short on cash, and need a new phone
Using it for Texting, phoning, images, music, and even some games are playable (the 1gb ram still makes it limited to what it can and can't. app ex. Dino people crashes on load, Boom beach and Clash of clans lag but are playable, Rise of Berk Hangs at certain parts, etc)
However, make sure you get the 16gb model instead of the 8gb. Android 6.0.1 (aka marshmallow) takes up to 4gbs of space, meaning the 8gb model is very limited, even with expanded storage
Would 100% recommend as a temporary phone, and there are similar phones like this one but with slight advantages, like ram, higher resolution, space, features, etc

I can only recommend this phone to people who just need a cheap phone for the most basic of tasks. That being, calling, texting, surfing the web, and if you're willing to expand the storage, listening to music. For those tasks, I have no complaints.
Many apps and games will barely work because of the limited ram, and the internal storage will fill up almost immediately. Making the phone very sluggish and unable to handle much if any multitasking.
The camera is passable for the price range, though I never did record video with it.
As a backup or just for work phone it's fine, you can reply to emails, take calls and quick pictures, it'll get those tasks done, but you are getting exactly what you pay for. I had it for a year in college when I needed a phone but couldn't afford a nice one, it got me through the day. I would not recommend this as your daily use smartphone unless you truly cannot spend anymore on a phone, or you just plan to use a phone for the mentioned simple tasks.

yes is okay for what it costs. The 8gig internal fills up fast, so used SD card as extended memory.

Not bad for a cheap phone. Does what it's supposed to do, and also gets 70Mbps download speeds.
