LG K42


The K42 features a 6.6-inch HD+ display with a centered punch-hole for its 8MP selfie cam. Around the back, we find a quad camera array with a 13MP main shooter, 5MP ultrawide lens, and two 2MP sensors for macro shots and depth data.

You’ll also notice the Wave pattern which features a "UV coating" for added grip and durability. The right-hand-side houses the fingerprint scanner/power button while the volume and Google assistant buttons are on the left.

Under the hood, we have the Helio P22 chipset paired with 3GB RAM and 64GB storage which is expandable via microSD. The battery comes in at 4,000 mAh and charges over USB-C. The phone also boasts a headphone jack, DTS:X 3D audio and a MIL-STD-810G certification for shock resistance.

The K42 comes in grey and green colors though LG hasn’t provided further details on pricing and availability.
