LG Y70 Mobile Price List in India

Features and Specifications

The phone has only a single sim feature but supports 2G, 3G and 4G networks making it basically an all-rounder in this category. The processor is 1.2GHz Quadcore with 1GB of RAM and a separate graphics chip Adreno 306. A 720p HD display of around 4.7inches (Gorilla Glass 3 protection) graces the phone and provides a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels while the PPI is 312. An 8MP camera is included at the read with LED flash and the front camera is 1MP without any flash support. It includes all the bells and whistles we have come to take for granted in smart phones like WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc.

Design and Quality

LG took a nice approach with the design of the phone by giving it a very slight curve which is noticeable when viewed from the side. It manages to supply a good grip to the phone making holding the phone very satisfying. The overall design of the phone is great too with 9.9 mm thickness and 119g heavy giving a slim & smart look. The phone build is comprised of quality durable plastic instead of any metal material but it doesn't feel cheap which the main point is. Color wise the phone has three options to choose from i.e. Black, White and Gold.

OS and Tech

We know the phone uses Android which is a very popular OS these days with many customers preferring it over other OS's like Apple OS or Windows. The version of Android it uses is the latest Lollipop v5.0 which brings with it many improvements over KitKat in terms of notification pop-ups and general performance tweaks. The looks of the OS won't be visible much as LG decided to go with TouchWiz user interface instead of utilizing stock Android's UI. The processor ,a 1.2GHz Quadcore, works very well with the 1GB RAM to deliver smooth performance to the user while the Adreno 306 graphics chip jumps in when the user wants to play games on the phone.

Camera and Multimedia

The camera on this phone is 8MP with an LED flash for taking photos in low light or very dark situations. The 8MP camera does deliver good performance with images of up to 3264 x 2448 pixels being captured. HD video capture is also supported with the rear camera taking 1080p videos at 30fps while the front camera manages to take 720p HD videos. Multimedia wise the phone has support for many formats of both video (MP4, H.264, H.263 and WMV) and audio (MP3, WAV, WMV and eAAC+). Users can use the build-in apps for these but many others can also be used after downloading them from the Google Play Store.

Battery and Memory

No details are available of the talk time but we do know the standby times of this phone are upwards of 540hours which is quite high. The battery is 2100mAh and not as high as one would like but seeing as the display is not as big as other phones using the same battery capacity this actually works out in the LG Y70's favor with better battery life in general. The phone comes with only 8GB of internal memory which is quite less when compared to rivals in the same price range sporting 16GB instead. It does have a MicroSD card option to expand available memory of up to 32GB which is a plus for media heavy users.
