LG X cam - User Reviews

  • Good phone. One of the lightest around. Battery life ok not up with say G4, but thats the tradeoff for lack of weight. Fast 8 core multitasks easily. Camera decent, wide angle big plus. Very little to complain about with this beaut.

  • I have a plan to purchase this device. Can someone tell me your experience about "moving application" to sd card? Is it possible to do that thing on this device (without using additional apps from playstore)?

  • How much brand new now

  • After the updates my mobile lifespan can be like 2 days without charging (excluding playing games,etc)

  • This is a phone with great features esp the camera d display or the interface. But with a battery that will take hours to charge and with a backup of less than 10hrs. And d funny thing is battery saver mode drains the battery more dan the normal mode

  • The battery is a real shit for such a phone!

  • A 5.2 inch screen and 118 g of weight... make up an light, but big phone. Looks like... the company could try as possible to make an even lighter soon...

  • U can get a generator. I've seen some small ones. These runs on petrol

  • I just love having this phone, there's nothing else that I can ask for, the camera if great, it's a strong phone, I really love this amazing phone and I don't have in mine to change it right know.

  • is it can last one full day ? or just until night like 6 pm ?

  • Its battery capacity is too low plzz don't take this phone

  • where can i buy a new battery for my x cam?

  • 5.2 inch+full hd screen +very good pictures+very slim and light est phone in the word only 118 gram + os 6+good price ....it is one of the best that i have battery is average because of very low weight and slim x cam.

  • I have no trouble with it, I used to have dual sim put in but I switched it with a memory card now because after a year of using this phone I need more memory space.

  • As per LG Mobile employee, LG no longer release LG XCam for this year... Is there still a possibility that LG will give us a software update of Android version 7 for "LG X Cam"? Should we hope for it?

  • Aside from using a power bank, what work around or suggestion can you give for its low battery capacity? Thank you. I'm a new user of LG X Cam, and I find its "battery life" too short. That makes me regret purchasing one. Yet, for its cam features as well as the "Home launcher" feature, its awesome having this phone. Thanks in advance for the answers.

  • The camera is great in low-light. That was one thing I was please about. The photo images are better from this camera than my Fuji Finepix and it has a wide angle-option and picture in picture through both lenses (although I do miss the 30x Zoom). The battery life seems great, I'm getting through a whole day of usage and it charges quite quickly compared to other phones I've had. I think maybe people who normally buy £500/£600 phones would be disappointed with this one but for the price, as a mid-range phone, I can't fault it. People complaining that it should have better SPECS, it has 2GB of RAM, and HD screen, dual HD cameras an a sleek design with a solid speaker and decent build quality and components.

  • 5MP is the front facing camera for selfies and video chat - the rear facing cameras are 15MP for taking normal photos and wideangle photos.

  • I have a LG X Cam and it's not detecting 2nd sim

  • Im also having the same problem

  • My x cam is turning off automatically and i have to press volume +-&Power buttons all together to restart. it never starts normally by power button only. Can any1 help? Otherwise set is too good to use, no hanging and lagging issues and battery backup is awesome. those who have slow charging issue, kindly change your charger.

  • battery capacity is too low in this price and also ram ...it. should have been something more ..nevertheless...it has lots of ...new features that does not other phones in the market...but ..i. would suggest lg to either reduce the price of this lg x cam or increase battery capacity ..and ram

  • How long time for charge this phone ? I got same problem too

  • I've had this phone, Not Phine and it was fantastic for me. Worked everyday

  • Please do not buy this phone. This is sincere suggestion. This is the worst phine i ever used and service is toooooooo worst.

  • Which is best LG x cam or LG g3

  • :)

  • U won't get fingerprint sensor in standard model. Only Korean model has fingerprint sensor

  • Fingerprint is not needed. If u put a password,no one can open your phone.

  • 7.0 update will come soon. Maybe it will come on june or September 2017

  • 13 is a normal shooting camera and 5 is a wide angle shooter .so it can take wide angle photos with the 13+5 dula camers.

  • cn u plzz tell me charging capacity s slow??

  • cn u plzz tell me s ths btry cpcty s sloww ???

  • Pls advise how to active 2nd sim my phones 2nd sim not active how to active any body help me ?

  • This phone is not a hit here in my country. Although having 2 rear cam, many consumers doesnt appreciate LG x cam. Im working at a gadget shop and we only sell 2 units. Most of customer purchase the huawei gr5 2017 than this poor underated mobile

  • There was an Android update the other day promising to stabilize the apps. Unfortunately the problem with Bluetooth not retaining its pairing information still exists. what can I do?? Every day I have to pair my phone to the car's Bluetooth, its such a drag....

  • When connecting the phone by Bluetooth to the car radio, I find I have to pair them more than every day, this cannot be right, is there a problem with the phone ??

  • I once posted a review here that the performance of this phone's great in less than a week of buying it, now I've been using this phone for about 6 months and I'd say LG really puts a concern about their features as they are so satisfying and detailed. Not and never laggy, browsing is great, almost no heating even the net is on, updating my social medias every time is a no prob, able to play music 24/7 without charge if the net is blocked, good 3g/4g performance, text and call are okay, loudspeaker is crap though compared to my last samsung, nice photo captures but NOT when it's in the low-light areas, full charge takes around 3-4 hours, only when playing game online that the phone starts heating and battery starts draining fast (its quite stressed me out though lol). The dual cam isn't so worthy so I can careless really, it's great for a midranger but still average quality compared to those iphone ones. So this one needs better battery and speaker I'd say, but still kudos a 8/10 from me. And I love love love how slim it is!!!!

  • Charging takes 3 hours and more to be fully charged. Painstakingly slow

  • After watching reviews on youtube they always say that the rear camera isnt just amazing. I'll buy huawei GR5 2017 instead. Gotta love that bokeh effect

  • same here, i have lots of trouble with this phone, im an LG user for 6 years now, i have G3 before then bought X Cam, camera is the main selling point but it produces only average looking images, thought its a camera centric phone but sadly its not,

  • Guys dont purchase this. My phone suddenly stop working after installing a game. Its not turning on anymore. Its just 1 month old and this happened. Im so dissapointed so much

  • Why there is no black color? Black looks better for X cam. Just saying

  • What mean by hybrid sim and how we can insert sim2

  • Non-removable Li-Ion 2520 mAh battery

  • Does anyone know how to use the Hybrid Sim, like using dual SIM?? I insert the second SIM and when I turn on the device, nothing happens...

  • 2 camera, 13 mp and 5 mp use to take picture on wide angle

  • can you remove the battery

  • I bought this phone 2 weeks ago and i want to say that the phone is the best phone for its price. there is no heating problem in internet or social media accounts but when i play a game it is getting heating a little bit. The main problem is that "this phone charging is very slowly!" the other parts are perfect!

  • Hi may i know how to transfer the apps to the memory card.?

  • place the 2nd sim horizontally if your're not going to use a memory card

  • its only 13 one and 5 the other it cant be 13+5=18 only one camera at the time either one

  • Hi fellows; can you tell me if someone knows about the double camera? Is it 13+5=18 MP or just 13 and 5 indipedence.

  • brooooo how to insert dual sim only one slote

  • Not working otg

  • Otg support or not support?

  • Very nice phone..awesome screen..dual sim and both sim slots capable of 4g/lte speed(of course not the same time) Based on numerous reviews, the 2nd sim slot is only 3g/gprs capable but i inserted a 2nd sim on the 2nd sim slot and it got 4g!!!

  • How?

  • Brother this is hybrid sim phone.

  • I'm confused. Is this model a dual sim with one sim tray a hybrid type?

  • Anyone can tell about nougat update on x cam

  • Is this OTG ready? Ir any way we can use an OTG flash drive in it?

  • Which us better lg x can or Samsung j5 prime?

  • Really best nd great smartphone lg x cam nice

  • Lg x cam what a great phone great display pixels great colours great great camra selfi camra very very nice all sides best smartphone of the world mid range mobile

  • How to use otg in lg xcam?

  • Lg xcam very nice phone good performance phone heading complaints no issues for this mobile batery backup super...

  • How to in side sim 2 in lgx cam

  • Is this work finger print sensor in home button.iwant to puchase it.plz comment

  • no otg support

  • may i know how to use otg in lg xcam?

  • I just got this phone for my wife since the feature she uses the most is the camera and i have to say she was pleased with it plus the res is at 1080p which is great to get the best quality out of the pictures you take, it handles most games quite nicely, have played Xenowerk and Real racing 3 smooth just to name a few, overall performance is good for a mid range. The dual camera features are fun to play with and i cant believe how thin it is it also looks elegant (I have the Titanium color). it was worth the buy specially since i got it for less in a temporary store discount!!! Recommend it.

  • You can always use OTG

  • Very responsive auto shot with beauty face is the highlight on this phone... Its enough to make my phone be celebrity

  • Hu guyz am somu frm bangalore i bought lg x cam nice and good set but minus thing is cant use memory card with dual sims. Second sim slot and sd card slots r same. And i am getting perfect back case for diz mobile and even ders no full tamperd r gorrila glass for diz mobile

  • I am bought LG X Cam last 5days ago but I am not satisfied with them, there is heating problem when ever I played games & internet, sorry for the LG

  • Hi... I buy this fon and use it... I'm very happy about battery. Best battery timming. I play games internet fb WhatsApp all day and still charge remaining. Slim smart and fast. Only drawback is otg not supported... Otg is very important to me but its not supported... Wifi signal is strong. 3g and 4g signal strong. Front camera is awsome. Back camera is OK its better then samsung j3 j5 and j7 series...

  • If you want to take better quality pictures go for LG G3 or G4! X cam is a midranger with not so bad specs!

  • The korean version have fingerprint reader on the front

  • Get lg g5

  • gr8 ?? what is great in this phone, i cant see a distinctive feature. its nt future-proof. and all specs are mainstream, cant do anything less that this at this time. so its nt worth buying

  • great smartphone

  • it is good...

  • X cam ;)

  • Which is better j7 or x cam?

  • Its a midrange device. Buy a flagship if you want better performance

  • I hated this phone since I bought it. The camera doesn't take good pictures in low-light areas, it's really hard to take a good quality photo, you have to focus manually a bunch of times... The processor is weak, the battery struggles to make it through the day. It charges in approx 4 hours... And it takes 5 hours of normal use (Facebook, Whatsapp, browsing...) to discharge... The screen contrast and whites are not that good, and they look kind of pale. For half the price I could have gotten a way better phone (like the Moto G4). I had the LG G2 and I loved that phone. I'm so disappointed now. I'm trying to sell it or change it as soon as I can, and I've only had it for 6 days. Shame on you LG, this is a completely rip-off.

  • Does it support otg ?

  • go for lg v10

  • go for lg x cam, its totally strong and slim

  • No

  • Hello guys, I'm living in France and I'm about to buy an LG to replace my LG G4 Stylus because I have broken it a few weeks ago. The thing is that I'm hesitating between 3 phones. The LG Stylus 2, LG X Cam and LG X Screen. Personnaly, I'm someone who don't call a lot but send messages very often. I also really like to use Facebook or Snapchat by taking pictures and videos when I go out or when I'm with friends. I don't download a lot of games, maybe 1 or 2 for when I'm bored but I'm not a gamer. I prefer to download music and I do it a lot so that is why I would like a phone with nice sound, nice audio and nice video quality and resolution. So I'm looking for some advices on wich of these 3 phones I should buy ( I was also thinking on the LG Stylus 2 Plus but it's not released in France yet :( ). Thanks for you answers guys and sorry for my bad english.

  • I got 2 friends who recently bought this x cam and the other one bought x screen. They brag about the performance and quality. Looks and feel too. I just rode along but deep inside they didn't know that this ain't a flagship and they keep talking abou how awesome it is. I know they are not techie but I am laughing inside how they advertised it to me like to buy also. I'm rockin the gn4 and gn5 as my mains. Gn5 as a backup trap phone... I gotta say it, I don't wanna be friends with them. It is so embarrassing... 12 years of friendship gone in a blink... these Xnames can sometimes lure people...

  • No finger print & without huge amount of battery + this much low processor, I am sorry LG I am not satisfied with the price tag.

  • Such a slow processor... why? And in 19k getting 16GB storage and 2GB RAM. God.. plz LG, Wake up...

  • Can anyone who owns this share its stock wallpapers please?

  • It's a hybrid -- meaning the second slot is optional between a second sim or an SD. So if you want to use an SD on it, you cannot do dual sim anymore. It's actually nicer looking phone if you see the actual unit. I was about to buy it at MemoXpress but then learned that there was a price drop on the V10 and so had to let it go. I'd choose LG over Samsung anytime. LG is so underrated, they've got so much nice phones. I'm sad though that not all of them have the power/volume keys at the back. Having them there is so much convenient.

  • got it for few days now. phone looks and feels great, everything works fine. yeah, everything.. except cameras. single point and so damn slow AF.. it is impossible to get detailed, sharp picture. interface sucks too: Auto / Picturepop / Panorama Flash on/off and thats all. bought it as a photo smartphone.. never been so dissapointed. looking for something different.

  • Its only for wide angle purpose. Its like zoom in amd zoom out.

  • this phone support usb otg ?

  • No gorrilla glass protection??

  • is it true? so we can't do screen mirroring from xcam to car's head unit?

  • In my opinion lg has the best midrange in their x series. And i think lg g5 is the best in flagship alongside apple and samsung

  • Perfect size weight ratio, 5.2" screen, 3 cameras and only weighs 118g can hardly tell you have it in your pocket its so light. Its called the x cam but the only real thing it has going for it is the wideangle lens. No 4k infact no way of changing resolutions. ya can have hd or fhd video and 4:3 16:9 1:1 picture size thats it. the big disapointment for me is that it doesnt have screen mirror to a tv. you can share pictures/video but not full on screen mirror. unless your wanting somthing really high end id recommend this phone.

  • it has a very good camera. front and back

  • how's camera???

  • Cam ? And it doesn't have the 4k h265 abilty recording ?! Not well named.. 300€ is too expensive without 4k so sad... it has this perfect 5"2 size and a very light 118g weight

  • Your choice. The second slot can be filled by either SIM or SD card cmiiw, just bought this phone and the performance's great up until now.

  • This X series and other X series will have the same story

  • available in the philippines by August

  • Yeah,dis fanboy. If u look at the antutu score. Oneplus 3 sits at the throne. Samsung is futureproof,ok i agree. But samsung is kinda....made for long term usage,the specs are sometime below average. Look at the j7,its a pricy phone. You could change to the cheaper fingerprint redmi note 3 pro or the contrasty oneplus x,or even the old king lg g3,which still a considerable phone until now.

  • I am using this phone for a week now. Slim and light to hold and use. Even with hours of video streaming(wifi) the phone doesn't heatup. Battery:one day with average use when 4G is on. Camera however needs a lot of improvement. Image quality is only ok for a phone projected as a cam phone. Wide angle pics help only in day light and low light(even well lit room) images are below average. However the phone catches a lot of eyes and i am ok with the performance too.

  • Is this really with gyroscope?

  • its chipset is kinda weak, so i think that battery will give some decent juice

  • The second 5mp back camera is for very wide angle shots and not for added depth of field.

  • yes, which one? samsung releases a phone every 5 seconds so yes you right if any samsung has two cameras for better ue

  • Sony xa is better in this price range

  • Price is about Php13k...about 1000php more than the J5 2016. Both are a-ok phones, but I'll recommend this LG Xcam because the J5 2016 takes about 3-4hrs to complete battery charging.

  • Does it have finger print sensor?

  • 2 camera are for different fov higher resolution one with normal fov and the other lower resolution one with larger fov just like G5

  • when is this gonna be released here in the philippines? how much? i hope the price is the same as the samsung galaxy j5 2016. cause im choosing between the two

  • Looks ugly. I love the lg look with the power and volume on the back, like the lg stylus 2.

  • Lg g5 best

  • The only turnoff on this phone is the average battery

  • when is it gonna be available to buy in the philippines?

  • Lightest and thinnest 5 incher in the market. Almost as light as iphone6SE. If it can capture videos at 60fps it's a BUY for me.

  • This phone is perfect for me. And im also interested on samsung galaxy j5 2016. Which comes first to be available to buy here is what im going for.

  • The only new phone available here in the philippines is the lg k10

  • Same reason you have 2 eyes most likely, for depth perception (3D video capture).

  • samsung is the best

  • Lg x cam bettet than the galaxyj5 2016

  • Im not a photography geek so i dont get the concept of two rear cameras. But im interestedto try this phone when it got launched here.in the philippines

  • Which is better the samsung galaxy j5 2016 or lg x cam?

  • I dunno if this already been said (didnt scroled the book) but what's the price gonna be? No NFC but the rest looks cool to me.

  • Is that phone with dual camera on the back? How it works? It makes better quality pictures?

  • looks like a samsung phone to me especially the gold one

  • Just out of curiosity was that laugh sarcasm or do you genuinely think that?

  • i want this phone. best midrange lg phone yet

  • best choice from lg mid range phone...hhahaa

  • best choice for lg mid range..... haha

  • LG works correctly. So ask around. Then produce such telephones. Most more are made on sales in this segment of phones. Raport price-quality is fair.

  • I like this phone can any one tell me its a single or dual sim i want to buy dual sim ..

  • Seems nice tho.. lg is nakig curve glasses like BB 9860 ang 9360

  • Well for me...I like design and plastic on Lg g4. I can swap it anytime with premium one, or with other colours..I dont like unibody, in fact due to having g2 i got fed up with it. If phone gets laggy and freezes...i can simply take out battery and go on. Newest design on G5 is simply bad. Lg x cam looks like a good phone but too similiar to every roundish phone out there..

  • Mid and eastern Europe doesnt have Xiaomi in subscription program. We have Huawei, but very limited. We have only P8 and some, no newest flagships and mid rangers. I agree. Xiaomi and Huawei makes good mid range, but idk if MTK is even good for midrange. Using mtk or snap is big difference. Kirin 930 was a fail since GPU was so week, if you wanted to make something with phone it didnt work. So i acutally miss LeEco, One plus, Xiaomi and Meizu in subscription deals....we mainly have some LG, HTC, Sony, Samusng and Iphone from frontrunners..Lenovo and Acer and Blackberry behind. Chinese manufacturers arent that much present.

  • LG is making Samsung's flaut

  • I own a LG phone, using it is the best experience for me so far. It looks like LG thinks about everything. Even small thing like texting, waking up the screen, turn off the screen, multitasking, etc are all better in my Lg. Knock on and dual windows are also neat. But ya, its plastic and it was expensive. I have found it dead after 1 year of use, i didnt know how. Luckily their after sales great. For now, their problem is only design. It looks like they give their best for G5, and miss others. A series is samsung rensponse of chinese, their response is very fast. LG is just to slow improving.

  • Yes they are. Their phone is now more appealing than big names. I think not choosing them is not wise. Xiaomi product is always cheap for their high specs. Even is people still doubt about their quality. Many of them will still buy it, they are cheap. Huawei phones are also cheaper, and i believe that their quality is very good, their after sales also good, they are the the best alternative.

  • Quite slim and weight also very less.

  • They are slowly expanding out, Huawei is sold across europe. Whats your market?

  • What goods comes out od such companies if they have only 1/3 of market? How im i supposed to buy Xiaomi if it isnt on my market lol?

  • If these low specs phones have at least near G4 camera they are already mid range. Octa 1,4ghz iz mid range. This phones seems to have nice specs

  • Huawei and Xaiomi are on the come up

  • No, LG phone is low quality and expensive

  • The Honors and Redmis are premium midrangers at a budget price.

  • With low quality and cheap, you mean LG right?

  • LG is acting reasonably by putting on sale tonight on LG X. the majority of customers with low incomes, can afford such phones that PREMIUM for them.

  • Excuse me, what do you mean by saying LOW QUALITY cheap phones? and what is your actual problem to say bad about Xiaomi product?

  • Not really..their phone is cheap.people tendbto buy the low quality cheap phones lol

  • Nice midrange phone & Hope nice price

  • Huawei and Xiaomi are the bosses of mid range phones

  • I think X series is not strong enough to fight A-team, redmis, and honors. All big vendors have premium midrangers.

  • Interesting name.

  • Good looking....how about the back? Sexy?
