LG has launched the K42 smartphone in India. The highlight of this smartphone is the MIL-STD-810G compliance that ensures military-grade durability on the smartphone, such as protection against fall shock, temperature shock, vibration, humidity, high and low temperatures. This is a budget smartphone that takes on the likes of Realme Narzo 20A, Redmi 9 Prime, and the Motorola Moto G9 Power. The launch of the phone comes amid the speculations that LG is considering pulling out of the smartphone business.
The K-series by LG belongs to the budget and mid-end markets. And the military-grade durability is something that you will find a lot on LG smartphones, except for the ones in the premium segment. The LG Wing that has two displays sliding out to form a “T” and the LG Velvet that has a beautiful design in the mid-range segment. But despite having several innovations in the smartphones, LG is said to be calling it quits from the smartphone industry after six successive years of loss. There is no announcement as yet on what LG will do about its smartphone business.
