LG K3 - User Reviews

  • Today used as mobile LTE router

  • Swipe down from the top to turn on NFC

  • The touch screen is flipping ridiculous, has a mind of its own most of the time. Sporadically touches places I'm not even close to, keyboard touch is waaaaayyyyyy of most of the time too. Will send a message that I'm not even done with because the screen glitches when touched and hits the send button out of nowhere. So sick of the phone honestly. Coverage is horrid, standing right next to cell tower and I've never seen full bars, I could be in the same spot and it's constantly 3g to LATE and back. I could go on and on.

  • LG has lost quality in these times, and many phones, in many aspects, are not as they were. The famous LG K3, has a camera that gives the desire to mourn honestly, is very poor in aspects such as the coverage, the quality of colors on the screen: Everything is wrong. I hope some day they think that they have to improve, because I believe that BLU is far above in many aspects such as the quality of the screen, the camera, the sensors. If you want a phone with the same features, but with more improved features, you should try a BLU DASH X LTE, that even has no problems with coverage, has a great camera, has an HD screen (1280x720), even supports OTG , and in short, it is the most beautiful among all that I have found historically low-end. Therefore, LG is not like before, which goes ... I prefer the BLU DASH X LTE, which is much cheaper, and with better specs. (In the sense of its advantages, for which the LG K3 loses in its entirety.) If you do not want to suffer, it is better that you do not even buy it, spend less on an economic model like the BLU DASH X LTE. And in fact, you can compare both phones here, to see the two, which is going to be better for you.

  • i put a micro sd card in my LG K3 LTE fone but it does not show when i check fone memory

  • I agree about the touch on the screen its hard work sometimes.There is also a feeling of the case not shutting properly after opening to put battery in .If someone knows how to sort the screen problem it would be greatly appreciated or else its going back it is only 3 days old,K

  • The phone is not bad for a phone with such price and such specs If you want better phone then use your credit cards better :)

  • good phone.

  • This Phone suck ,terrible battery life,the touchscreen is very innacurate and the camera is as good as a Motorola KRZ from 2005 please dont waste your hard earned money !

  • Yes

  • What can I do to enlarge the memory..how can I transfer the phones data to memory card?

  • Their isntenough internal memory I never have enough storage space, Annamaria

  • Rough on phones so I purchased one of these as a "work" phone a while back. YES it is waaaaay short of features in more expensive phones but I'm not gunna cry if I break the screen on this if I'm working somewhere... It makes calls, the camera isn't great but its good enough for taking snaps and the bigger screen is nice. It is what it is....

  • There isn't the k3 version 2016 on the photo, becouse it's the version 2017 !

  • gd phn

  • Wow

  • Good phone

  • good phone

  • K3 is plenty fast within limited specs for a low end. Camera quality is inferior to a potato. 3gb of usable internal memory is not adequate for today's bloated apps. Not SDXC compatible. 32gb can only hold so much. Call quality is is quite alright. LED flash beats no LED flash for a low end.Nice and bright. UI is easy to navigate. Battery life is manageable. Charging the battery is a long process unfortunate. It's a better than nothing or better than other low ends with lesser features type of phone.

  • sim - nano

  • Look at the price tag of K10

  • Used the LS450 for some time. Can only really compare it to its 2014 predecessor, LS740. Only using it as a secondary media focused device than a phone as it lacks certain features. Just will comment on a few things. Wtf two microphone holes on top and bottom? Didn't expect that. Normally the 3.5mm Jack is on the top (replaced with a mic hole) but is placed at the bottom next to the MicroUSB port. No color indicator LED?(reason why I am not using it as a main phone) I want to see if my phone is done charging at a distance. Been noticing the removal of this feature on a few LG smartphones 2015-2016 Main Camera with stock LG camera app in Stills mode is okay within the low end spectrum. Youre not to expect low light/high ISO sensitivity, that's a flagship phone feature. Has a flash, better than low ends with no flash. Video mode, better than LS740 albiet less options. Has no autofocus which to me is a good thing. LG smartphones with autofocus I had in the past had the infamous breathing autofocus issue, particularly the LS740 also having a very horribly slow autofocus. Only has a 720p video mode, wish it had lesser widescreen resolutions down to 240 considering the limited maximum expandable storage of 32gb. Plays Pokémon GO just fine within it's low end limitations, no AR. Doesn't crash within a minute like the LS740. Every time I played that on the latter it crashes within a minute plus is laggy if heavy on animation. Haven't yet played PoGo with LS450 in an area with an extreme amount of animations. Will comment on that later.

  • i think its a smart phone considering you can do anything on it.. good for social media and its cheap:)

  • excellent phone for very little money, shame about the screen though.

  • The lg k3 is a basic and cheap phone you get what you pay for they have realised the lg g5 which is a top of the end phone the specs yeah spec's aren't very good I agree but remember the price of the phone

  • i think it is a good device for it price

  • This phone takes a Nano sim not a Micro sim as stated in the description

  • we just got these instore. three of them. There's not a chance I'll be selling these. Not a chance, charles dance.

  • When the camara is out, I had to registrated him every time pin and puc codes. How can I change it.

  • FWVGA..? Resolution is too low.. but design is good.

  • You dont think what?

  • This phone doesnt have a good camera either, yet its already in a Marshmallow.

  • This device isnt all that bad people that are commenting about specs etc dont realize that not every one can afford a s7 its a smart phone with the basic features its affordable and does its job great value for money

  • best phone for its price

  • Not bad. Low price and low quality of phone.

  • It's a competitor for the Alcatel Tru priced at 29 dollars.

  • I dont think any phone out there with those specs with 4.5-4.7" form factor (except 1-2 phones)..

  • It is priced at 5,990 INR..like seriously???

  • Saw this phone at Walmart earlier today when I was buying an A/C filter. The Boost Mobile (Sprint MVNO) variant was $39.99 (USD) . . . . so yeah, it's damn cheap!! Just a FYI, if you buy this device, you'd better hope LG's v6.0 skin is stable, because there's NO WAY this device is EVER getting any updates beyond security patches (IF they even push monthly patch OTA's to this phone within 6 months of the patch release).

  • This is extreme low-end phone so .. no need for that specs .. you can find that in K8 i think .. this phone wont cost over 100E probably ..

  • wont be long now before LG meets up with HTC down "there"... What era is LG Living in?!?! 1.1GHz Processors?!?! 1GB RAM? 8GB ROM? Accelerometer is all the sensor(s) on board!! A joke of an Android Phone!

  • Amen

  • How much extra does it cost to increase RAM to 2GB, camera to 13MP and storage to 16GB?

  • Great competition to Nokia 6600..

  • Should not be over 100E ..
