The LG AKA is particularly designed for the younger slot by offering them the stylish and hip design. This is the first ever smartphone that has been specially designed taking into account the personalities of the younger crowd. For the LG this device is actually a breakthrough in the creation of personality driven and emotions that normally people carry for their phones along with their personalities. It has digital eyes on top of it and a sleeve lid covers the face of the phone making it a rather interesting design.

The battery of the device is 2610mAh and the connectivity options are Wi-Fi, A-GPS, GPS, Bluetooth and 3G.
Design and Quality
LG AKA has a textured back cover along with saturated colors and the overall build is sturdy. This device is attractive for the sporty sense. The coloring and the material finish of it helps it in pop up while the tactile back provides perfect grip of the device. The colored plastic cover at the front of the device is very attracting and is largely the selling-point of this handset. It doesn’t cover the whole of the front since the top is exposed carrying eyes. The whole of the device material is plastic and is the cool handset available in the market. The LG has also brought multiple attractive looking animal cartoons on the front and back of the handset which is very attractive for the young children. The 5-inch screen is quite nice for an entry level handset providing 720p resolution of the screen which is though not very good but no complaints can be made equally for the price it is being offered. The screen works perfectly fine giving nice and vibrant colors and the viewing angles of it are also very nice.
OS and Tech
It is running the Android v4.4 KitKat but the LG has maintained its custom skin on top of it as it has been observed in its other handsets like LG G3. Since the handset particularly targets the young audience so the company has added somewhat personality into it by providing some cool animation to it. More animations are even found in the UI provided on top of the OS in order to make it more quirky appeal.
Camera and Multimedia
The back of the phone has the 8MP camera same as the one found in LG G3. The camera is being assisted by laser autofocus. This helps the camera to adjust the focus and to minimize the blurriness. This is provided only since younger people like more to play with images by adding more effects to them. The quality of the still images is acceptable though not very good. The videos recorded by it are also of nice and presentable quality which would definitely be liked by the young audience. The front camera works nice for the selfies and the video conferencing though the performance is not very high.
Battery and Memory
The 2610 mAh battery is more than enough for this mid-range device though it carries a large screen but the screen has some power saving features which allows user to preserve the battery life. Under moderate use of the handset, this battery can last for about one and a half day. The RAM is 1.5GB which was not expected out of a mid-range handset but this is for sure a wonderful addition and the internal storage is also large provided more expansion to it is also provided.

Verdict
The LG AKA has already been released worldwide and yet it has to be observed how it meets the expectations of the crowd especially the young people. This is among those handset that adds personality to the device which clearly shows the personality of the person using it. It also comes with sprinkling cases which makes choices separate for boys and girls. This handset is even better than many other in the market and is competent enough to beat its own successors like LG G3 which has lower battery than LG AKA and is also lesser in RAM specifications than LG AKA.
