A LG has just brought to the Brazilian market some more intermediate smartphones: the LG K52, the K62 and K62 +. Continuing the trend started with the LG K51 and the LG K61, the devices stand out mainly for their four cameras, which reach up to 48 MP, and for the 6,6-inch screen. g4610
However, it is notable that externally cell phones do not have many differences. Being similar in format, their main differences are in the internal details and, obviously, in the price. O showmetech tested each of the 3 models and compared them to clarify these possible doubts.
screen and battery 1b1y6u
The three new smartphone models in the K family have 6,6-inch screens HD+FullVision, in a 20:9 aspect ratio and with a super discreet cutout for the front camera, called punch hole display. These screens can visually present a cinematic experience, but still do not play 4K content.
With the screen's 20:9 aspect ratio, little content naturally fills the screen, which causes certain YouTube videos to be “zoomed”, while others have black borders. The 3 models have the same 4.000mAh battery, able to last all day and that took about 2 hours and 40 minutes in the K62 and K62 + to get a full charge, and just under 3 hours on K52. In normal day-to-day use, the battery of the 3 lasted about 10 hours, with constant access to WhatsApp, sending and receiving emails, using social networks and some quick session games.
Cameras 353z5z
Here is where the three cell phones differ the most. The devices have four high quality and professional performance rear cameras: Smart Camera, Super Wide Angle Camera, Portrait Mode Camera and Macro Camera, in addition to the front camera. The main differences are found in the Smart Camera, where the K62 + and K62 have 48MP, while in K52 the lens of the same camera is 13MP, and on the front camera, where the LG K52 has 8MP, the LG K62 has 13MP and the LG K62 + has 28MP.
O LG K62 and LG K62 + They also have Dual Flash, allowing photos in dark environments to be taken with better light. The camera of the three models also has the Flash JumpCut, which allows you to take pictures at short intervals to simulate a Stop-motion in your photographs. The Smart Camera also identifies what the is photographing, and with that it is able to adapt the settings to take the picture in the best possible way, and with the integration YouTube Live the created content can be quickly shared on the platform.
The camera macro works when shooting something that is 4cm away from the lens, as LG recommends. It is a little difficult to use, as even with the distance recommendation it often couldn't focus on the object. By being able to establish the focus, the photos of small objects, especially insects, have the quality seen in scientific publications.
Of course, all this hardware needs a working camera app to be great, and that's perhaps my main criticism of the devices here – or perhaps a criticism of LG as a whole. Of the camera apps I've had the opportunity to use in recent years, this is perhaps one of the most confusing and least intuitive I've ever seen. Even though the photo type change is the classic left or right swipe, the option of each of these modes like timer, flash options and even resolution settings are scattered across the screen in a confusing way and their symbols are not clear. , making it a real trial-and-error job to learn every detail of the cameras.
Memory 5k4tm
O K52 has RAM 3 GB, while the K62 and K62 + count on 4 GB. In of internal storage, the K52 and K62 have internal storage 64 GB and K62 + with 128 GB. The 3 models can be expanded with a micro SD memory card up to 2TB, which is an excellent addition compared to the factory original.
The 64 GB of the K52 and K62 are great for casual s, who even if they take a lot of photos or a lot of games will still have a hard time filling up their smartphone for a few months. However, if you use your phone as a platform to videos from the main streaming systems, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, the storage will fill up very quickly, making the K62+ the most attractive option with its 128GB of internal memory.
Design and interface – Equals 5z166s
The three new models have evolved in relation to the last releases in of Design, with the rear of the K52 presents an undulating pattern called Wave Design which in addition to bringing a comfortable texture to the cell phone, makes it easier to hold the device, in addition to causing a great visual impact. already the K62 + and K62 feature a unique patterned, fingerprint-resistant matte finish called silkplast.
Smartphones also have changes in the position of certain buttons compared to previous releases of the K family, with the fingerprint sensor being on the side of the device and the cameras being in a cooktop (in free translation, stove – the arrangement of the lenses resembles the part of the stove burners). All also visually have a very noticeable look, thus making the handsets truly pleasing to the eye. The dedicated Google Assistant activation button remains next to the volume buttons, just like on the K51 and K62. Although the arrangement next to each other initially confuses a lot which of the buttons to press, after some time of use the gets used to the correct position of each one, hardly making mistakes.
The three cell phones come standard with the Android 10, and has its updates for the Android 11 already confirmed. As always, though, LG modifies the Android with some of its applications, but compared to other brands, it ends up being the versions of the system with less modifications. In of the interface, the main initial strangeness is the absence of the bottom bar, but it can be enabled in the settings.
Accessories 82i1m
In both models there is the same Kit of accessories, being:
- Charger
- Headphone (P2)
- Type C USB Cable
- protective cape
With these items, anyone who purchases any of the three models already has everything they need to use the smartphone's full potential and protect it. Highlight for the protective cover, which, although basic, presents enormous comfort for s, and for the headphones, which although they have a standard format, which already makes many people look suspicious, have a huge quality, even if part quality has to do with the powerful 3D Audio API present in the 3 models, which we will talk about later.
Performance and connections 276y5u
The three new of the K family have a long-lasting battery 4.000 mAh, designed to last all day, and in of performance they have eight-core processors MediaTek MT6765 Octa-Core 2.3GHz and 4GB RAM memory for the K62 + and K62, It is like MediaTek MT6762 Octa-Core 2.0GHz and 3GB RAM memory for the K52. In our tests, this translated into a slight performance gain on the K62 and K62+ over the K52.
First, we tested it in of multitasking. At the K52, when testing switching apps in the middle of a YouTube video, for example, we noticed minor crashes and system slowdowns, regardless of which apps were opened next. In cases of change to an application that is much more demanding, as in the case of Freefire ou Call of Duty Mobile, it got to the point where both apps stopped working, causing the YouTube video to lose progress.
Now at K62 and K62 +, the more mundane functions didn't encounter problems, but when the same games were played right after a YouTube video, the phone's performance slowed them down somewhat. On all three devices, when games are run with nothing running in the background, the experience was smooth and the few issues were more related to the game servers than the hardware.
In of connection, the new LG phones have USB-C compatible with USB 3.1, Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC and 4G, but are not ready for 5G, something common for intermediate smartphones. While this technology is still far from being widely available, if you want something that is ready for years to come, perhaps this detail is something to consider.
Audio 3n1j5g
Perhaps the most interesting feature of these LG releases is precisely in the audio. counting on the LG 3D Sound Technology, the devices can, using Artificial Intelligence, detect both the content you are going to listen to and the quality of the phone connected to the P2 input of the device and present the best possible audio experience in these settings.
The result is very interesting, and we tested it on 3 different headphones on all devices. The first phone, the one that came with the devices, has a very good quality already from the factory, but when connected to the K52, K62 or K62+, it achieved a result that borders on 7.1 audio, with a huge clarity of instruments in the songs. or ambient sounds in series. The second headphone, a 5 real one bought a few years ago in some store, showed an impressive improvement in quality, but obviously it still has its limits, at times losing the clarity of the audio.
The last phone tested was the HyperX Cloud Core 7.1, which normally when connected to P2 inputs has a great quality, but its 7.1 characteristics are only available when connected by the USB controller box. Obviously, the cell phones evaluated do not have a USB input, so the phone was connected to their P2 input, and its result was perhaps the most “disappointing”, since its quality was only matched with the phone itself that came with the devices. . But on the other hand, perhaps this is a testament to how powerful LG's 3D audio system is.
Conclusion 60664y
LG's new K-series phones are interesting, especially visually. Few intermediate smartphones have designs and finishes as beautiful as they do, but unfortunately devices are not sold only by design, and in other details the 3 models could deliver more. O K62 and K62 + stand out with their 48MP cameras, but apart from them, as in the case of the K52, become cell phones with average performance that, in 2020, are justified by the price.
