Product details

Fresh design with waves on the back. The unique wave pattern offers premium style and comfort. Scratch-resistant UV coating keeps your smartphone looking pristine, while a side fingerprint reader keeps
the back clear.

Fingerprint scanner at your fingertips: Quickly and easily unlock your phone with the fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button on the side. Also take selfies with the same button by double-clicking.

Huge display perfect for a series marathon: Or it is suitable to follow the life of a favorite vlogger. The small hole in the display (the punch hole) provides more space on the display and better immersion in the content viewed on it.

4 ways to take awesome shots. The rear 13-megapixel standard camera, 2-megapixel macro camera, 5-megapixel super wide-angle camera, and 2-megapixel depth camera are part of an eye-catching quad-camera element, offering endless photo versatility.

Pure listening pleasure: LG 3D Sound Engine relies on 17 million audio samples to ensure the optimal sound is always produced. Every genre of music, games, podcasts and movies sound phenomenal in their own right.

Power for the day: The 4,000 mAh battery makes it possible to play games, watch movies, and text friends from morning to night on the go.

Military test passed: Passing the MIL-STD-810G test means the smartphone can withstand extreme environments and forgive both clumsiness and slightly rougher lifestyles. (Impact, thermal shock, concussion, humidity, high temperatures, low temperatures).
