The affordable LG K30 made its debut in the United
States early this month at US retailer T-Mobile, but Amazon offers a much
better deal if you absolutely want to own this smartphone. Unlike T-Mobile,
which sells the smartphone for US$ 225 outright, Amazon offers the LG K30 for just US$ 140.
The fact that it's available as a Prime Exclusive
smartphone is probably the main reason the device is so much cheaper than
T-Mobile's version. It's also worth mentioning that Amazon is selling the 16GB
model, whereas T-Mobile's model comes with 32GB storage inside.
Also, the LG K30 usually costs US$ 180, but Amazon has
it on sale, so those who purchase it will save US$ 40 (22%). Keep in mind that
since this is a Prime Exclusive smartphone, it comes with Amazon apps
pre-installed, including the Amazon Widget, Amazon Shopping, and Alexa.
Specs-wise, the K30 is clearly an
entry-level device, which ships with Android Nougat on board. The smartphone
packs a 1.4GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor, 2GB RAM, and 16GB
expandable storage.
It also sports a 5.2-inch display with HD (720p)
resolution, an 8-megapixel main camera, a secondary 5-megapixel selfie camera
and a 3,000 mAh non-removable battery. The LG K30 comes unlocked and it will
work with major carriers in the United States such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and
Verizon.
