LG X power2

The LG X power2 is the successor to the not so popular LG X Power. Even in an era where almost every other smartphone above Rs. 8,999 is being equipped with a fingerprint scanner, an infrared emitter, and an USB Type-C port, the LG X power2 seems to be deprived of such features as the company aims to provide long battery backup at an affordable price tag. Even while holding a large battery inside, the LG X power measures just 154.7 x 78.1 x 8.4 mm and weighs at 164 grammes.

As the name of the device suggests, the LG X power2 s main aim is to provide above average battery backup with its large 4,500 mAh non-removable battery. The large battery can also be quickly charged as it supports fast charging. However, it still uses a microUSB connection for charging and syncing.

The LG X power2 unexpectedly comes with an LED flash for the 5MP fixed focus secondary camera. The primary camera though is a traditional 13MP unit with autofocus and LED flash. There is no phase-detection or laser autofocus in the primary camera.

The LG X power2 comes among the very few devices that ship with the Android s 7.0 Nougat out of the box. The operating system is customised with LG s UX skin on top. The Android Nougat will help the device to achieve even higher battery backup with its Dose feature. The software is paired with an octa-core processor for uncompromising performance. The RAM and the internal storage on the LG X power2 are 2GB and 16GB respectively.

The display on the LG X power2 is a traditional 5.5-inch unit with an HD resolution. The HD resolution seems to be a bit of compromise for a large screen size, as it will result in visible pixelation. The wireless connectivity on the LG X power2 is achieved with 4G LTE, Bluetooth v4.2, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, and GPS.
