            Durable piece of crap

              That notch hiding is, at least, cringe. Companies need to stop doing it and stop making mid range and low range phones with notches, they look cheaper. Better something like Redmi 7A, even Pixel's, except 3XL and upcoming ones, have the similar look.

                Military grade durability?
                How are thus phones more durable than non mg certified phones, it is god damn glass sandwich with aluminium frame and i dont think it is gorilla 5 or 6 glass, maybe im wrong but to me this is just another try
                to hipe the phone if possible.

                    The front panel looks like an usual cheap Chinese phones.

                        LG makes many phones with military grade standard. So LG phones should have good built quality and durable.

                          What material is the phone body made of?

                              It's always “unknown chipsets" with LG

                                LG is mostly irrelevant in the smartphone segment nowadays.

                                  Durability is an important matter, but other specs of these phones don't seem like midrangers. Besides pricing!, LG has fallen behind in the midrange phone production competition.
                                  Perhaps reducing costs and pairing with some other OEMs can help them bring more new and cutting edge ideas again.

                                    And the avoid to name the SoC and the price. At least, you'll not have a heart attack watching it. Oh the front is like the one from HMD 7.2 and Lenovorola. The generic chinese front cloned with big bezels.

                                      Both look pretty nice, glad to see LG is keeping the military grades intact.
