LG has released a new budget smartphone called the LG K31 and it is currently available for preorder in the US market.
LG’s K31 is a budget phone with so many compromises, especially on the camera aspect. The dual rear cameras include a 13 MP main lens and a wide-angle lens of 5 MP with a 120 ° field of view. The cameras have a LED flashlight for taking low light pictures. At the front is a regular 5 MP lens with its own built-in selfie flash. A lot of features further extend what’s achievable with the K31, such as an optical zoom up to 4x, Portrait Mode, and Google Lens support.

LG k32 runs on the LG UX 9.1 interface based on the Android 10 OS and comes with a MicroUSB charging port with a battery of 3,000 mAh.
