Deadshot13, 01 Sep 2020Just got this phone . will it ever have android 10
LG just put out the upgrade to Android 10 today.
Works fine. Pictures look fine. Battery works fine.
The Google Assistant button can be turned off so quit bitching people. My only complaint is that the screen goes right out to the very edge of the phone causing me to sometimes accidentally touch it when I don't want to but then virtually all phones are going full screen now. Other than that I like the phone.
128 gb is nice to have too. If you want a professional digital camera then buy an actual digital camera.

Let's be honest.
1. Fingerprint sensor issue. You have to press power key twice to use fingerprint sensor otherwise it doesn't even whisper into your ear if you do so without the power key, responding to your fingerprint is way out of the question.
2. Worst side button for Google. Didn't even need it when it still uses your voice to activate Google assistant. What a useless button.
3. In 10 years of smartphones owned, I have never ever seen a phone so sluggish, irritating and misbehaving. Anything you open, it goes all dark a millisecond later. Then you have to unlock again using same procedure as in first point above.
4. LG is supposed to have quality as it has been in market since Samsung, Apple and other popular rivals. However, they do not know what kind of OS should be run on hardware like K61 has. Unbelievably irritating experience.
5. If you slide down notification panel very slowly you'd see problem with graphics like the corners of notification panel would create creepy shapes and a weird transparency and blending of front and back graphics that leave you regretting forever, or until you change your phone.
Verdict. Think not once, not twice, at least as many times as you can to understand these above-mentioned points that are only 5 out of, I don't know how many as I find some new faults everyday I do something new with this phone.
Kindly consider buying something worth every penny you saved to buy at least a good phone.
LG left me crying in tears as I spent my last buck on buying just a piece of amusement, far from functionality and productivity.
Huh!!!!

Specs seem perfectly fine for the price, octacore, 128GB, NFC, 4000mAh battery and more for just about 200 euros. I don't know why are those fools complaining about a lousy camera, you get what you pay for lol, it's not Galaxy Note 20. I'm only interested how it behaves, does it have glitches and bugs, is it laggy and so on.

Very sad case we stuck with a new phone that has 4 cameras but will not be used for photos. LG you have failed.

The truth is that I do not understand how the LG brand has been dedicated to filling the markets with pure garbage, in all this time they have not made a cell phone worthwhile, for example the simplest cell phones put huge battery then to the phones that should put a big battery they put battery that do not last a day , and finally THE cameras of LG cell phones have never worked, I do not explain what kind of engineers have working

I HATE my new LG k61. I wanted a phone with a GREAT camera and figured this would do the trick. For a standard shot, it's good. BUT if you attempt to zoom in at all it loses all resolution and looks like a photo taken by a cell phone from 20 years ago. It's crap. It was between this and the Huawei P30 lite. Should have gone with the Huawei.

The screen goes black while you are in a call or busy sending a message or Whatsapp. Very distracting and frustrating. All that you can do then is to switch off the phone! Not good. Solutions?

Lg K61 review
I Bought the LG K61 - LMQ630UM in June through a 2year plan to replace my old LG G4.
I love LG products so I felt comfortable buying LG again. I am so disappointed with my new phone LG K61. The camera takes terrible photos in all modes. The photo quality even on 48mp is horrible and the pictures are usually out if focus or pixelated, compared to photos on my previous Lg g4 in 24mp format. The lens on multiple cameras on the new K61 are just do not take good pictures. Video is not that much better with lags in auto focus. The new Google based apps in Android-9 do not offer a proper file management program other than limited Google Files app, which does not allow complete control of your own basic move/copy file management needs (you will need to download another 3rd party app). The "Gallery" app also no longer offers an instant "collage" feature for your photos, and is much more clunkier to manage your photos.
The sound in normal mode and in 3D mode is horrible as even at max volume you can bearly hear the phone ring. The screen touch is over sensitive, and frequently mistypes and touch opens apps, if not locked always. The phone itself is no faster nor more efficient than the older and much better LG G4. The new LG K61 consistently disappoints us, with simple typing and messaging as we find the cursor moving around automatically to different areas of the message, due to the oversensitive screen. The LG K61 is newer than my LG G4, but I find myself returning to my LG G4 for its camera, sound and basic apps. Yet, I'm stuck with the LG K61 for the next two years in my plan. In these Covidian times, we cannot try a phone before we buy, and that's where I feel simply ripped off with this LG K61 phone. We still love LG, our home appliances are still all LG, but this LG K61 phone is the first time we are so disappointed with an LG product.

The specs says that this model doesn't have a Radio (FM) Chip, but my son's plays FM Stations with Wi-Fi and Mobile data turned off. Does that mean it has a Radio FM chip? Very confused...

I don't like the three buttons on the left side. They get pressed when I try to power on/off or turn on/off the phone -button to the right.
