Are you looking for a mid-range mobile with the maximum benefits? LG's bet for cheap mobiles is the K family, a catalog of devices with very interesting features, some of which are even inherited from the high-end ones. The K40 has surround sound, artificial intelligence and a Dual Mode camera with portrait mode. Next, we tell you the 5 best features of this device.
Front camera with portrait mode
The LG K40 has an 8 megapixel front camera. It is accompanied by an LED flash, which will allow us to take pictures with greater light in dark situations. The interesting thing about this lens is that it also includes portrait mode, a very popular effect on current mobiles. This mode, called Dual Mode, allows us to adjust the degree of blur in real time. In this way we can choose what level of bokeh effect we want in our selfies . For example, if we take a selfie in a landscape and we want the background to be slightly blurred, we just have to slide our finger and adjust a lower focus. Otherwise, we slide until we get a complete blur effect.
You could not miss the Selfie Sticker mode, an alternative to Instagram skins that are added directly on the camera. We can take photos with the stickers and send the image through WhatsApp or share it on social networks.
Main camera with GIF mode
The main lens, the one on the back, is 16 megapixels. One of the most interesting functions is the GIF mode, which allows us to create popular moving images thanks to the camera flash. The LED flash will be in charge of signaling when the camera is going to take the picture to get the moving image.
The LED flash will flash twice. He will then take the shot. So 4 times to get the photo in motion. The image will be saved in GIF format. The GIF format is compatible with the main social networks and messaging applications.
In addition, thanks to PDAF autofocus you can capture micro-moments no matter how quickly they occur without missing any detail. This fast and fast autofocus sensor
Precise increases the focus speed by 36% and its precision by 23% through phase detection and can capture any moving image.
Mobile with multimedia features
This K40 has a 5.7-inch panel with IPS technology and an 18: 9 aspect ratio . LG calls this type of panel Full Vision, since it is somewhat longer than usual. A format widely used in the film industry. This way we get a better experience, especially when we watch movies or series in this format, since it occupies the entire screen.
What about the audio on this mobile? It has a speaker with DTS X3D technology . This sound format provides better results than conventional stereo audio. Here, the audio dissipates throughout the device, achieving a more immersive sound. We can take advantage of this audio when watching movies or playing games, even with headphones.
The artificial intelligence of the LG K40
ThinQ is the name given to LG's ecosystem, which is backed by artificial intelligence. This mobile is compatible and has some functions related to Google and its assistant. It is divided into two parts: voice and vision. In the voice section, it is supported by Google Assistant. The Google Assistant is present through the command "ok Googke" or the specific button that is located on the side . We can ask you basic questions like what the weather is or what time it is in New York. LG has also wanted to give it its personal touch with custom commands.
We can ask the assistant to take a selfie with the blur effect of the camera or control the LG devices that we have connected in our home, such as our smart appliances.
In the case of vision, Google Lens is also present. An option that, through the camera of our mobile, detects the object we are focusing on and shows us related information. For example, if we are focusing on a plant, it can tell us what type it is. If we focus on some shoes, it can show us purchase links. The device's camera also features AI applied to scene recognition. Thanks to AI CAM the lens is able to adjust the different parameters automatically, to get the best picture.
Rugged mobile
The LG K40 is a device with an endurance license, a mobile that has passed different tests of the United States military standards and that has achieved the MIL-STD-810G certification. According to the company, the terminal can resist high and low temperatures, sun exposure, shocks, vibrations and humid situations.
