LG L60i Mobile Price in India
LG is a South Korean company which we know best for their HD TV sets and feature packed Android smart phones. The newly launched LG L60i boasts of good performance at a reasonable price. The main rival brands Sony,Panasonic,and Samsung are expected to give this phone a tough competition. So let's take a look at what LG L60i is offering.
Features and Specifications
The LG L60i is a dual SIM GSM phone with 1.3 GHz Dual core processor and 512 MB RAM. The phone is preloaded with Android v4.4 KitKat, which is pretty good. The handset features a 4.3" capacitive LCD display. The display has a resolution of 800 x 400 pixels which is a little lower than what I expected. Overall the display will be able to deliver sharp and crisp picture. The phone features a 5 MP rear camera. There is an LED flash present beside it which enables the camera to take quality images at night. The 5 MP camera is not brilliant image taker, but it has the ability to take overall good images both in daylight and in low light. Still the camera lacks features like auto-focus and touch focus, which is a little disappointing. The front facing 0.3 MP VGA camera can take selfies and record videos too. There is no video call support as the phone comes in only 2G network support. In my opinion without 3G the front camera becomes quite useless apart from taking selfies. The phone has 4 gigs of internal storage capacity or ROM. The storage space can be expanded up to 32 GB externally. The phone has a 1700mAh battery pack as power source which will be enough for this handset. The phone also features GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth etc. Overall the LG L60i is a feature packed phone and it will give tough competition to its rivals.
Design and Quality
The phone is built with great perfection. The LG L60i features a great design which makes it look expensive than it really is. The phone is lighter than all of its competitors, only weighing 119 gm which is pretty good. The phone features slightly round edges and overall straight body design which gives it a sophisticated look. The buttons on both sides dedicated for screen lock and volume control are amazingly placed and are a little springy. Moreover the phone's design and look will make you fall for it in no time. So it gets a big yes from me in the design section.
OS and Tech
As mentioned above the LG L60i is loaded with Android v4.4 KitKat which is just outstanding, considering most of the smart phones in this price bracket either feature Android v4.2 Jelly Bean or much lower version. The 1.36 GHz Dual core processor is bound to deliver awesome performance and lightning fast processing speed. The phone is equipped with advanced technologies and features a set of sensors. So again the phone is pretty good in this section also.
Camera and Multimedia
The rear 5 MP camera lacks features like auto-focus and touch focus but is overall good in terms of taking pictures and videos. The camera can record quite good high quality videos and the sound quality is pretty good also. The front facing 0.3 MP VGA camera can take selfies and record videos too. But do not expect great quality from this camera as it is just a VGA one. Moreover in my opinion the front camera becomes quite useless since there is 3G support by this phone, which is a bit saddening but common in this price segment. The phone is rigged with a good 4.3" LCD screen which is quite good, and comes with a resolution 800 x 400 pixels. But do not expect the display to have a wide viewing angle and extremely correct image rendering.
Battery and Multimedia
The phone draws its power from a 1700mAh battery, which in my opinion will be enough to provide a talk time of up to 5 hours. So if you are a constant phone user it will be best to carry around the charger and charge the handset 2-3 times a day. The phone has 4 GB internal storage. The memory can be expanded up to 32 GB via microSD card. The phone is equipped with a 512 MB RAM which will be enough to perform daily tasks but it will not be enough to handle high fps games and HD movie playback.
Pros and Cons

Verdict
LG has tried their best to put in the best features in the market inside the LG L60i while keeping in mind the price tag. If you compare the handset with its main competitors like Sony Xperia E, Panasonic T40 and Samsung Z1 Tizen then you will notice slight differences within them. So yes I will recommend you to buy this phone if you have a really tight budget but still looking for a feature packed handset.
