With little or no fanfare, LG has add to its midrange K-series with two new entries – the LG K42 and LG K71. The two smartphones come with MediaTek’s Helio chipsets, 4,000 mAh batteries and run Android 10 with LG’s UX on top.

LG K71
The LG K71 is a bit advance than the K42 and features a 6.8-inch FHD+ display with a waterdrop notch and 20.5:9 aspect ratio. It also comes with something that is not that common these days – a built-in stylus. The stylus is not advanced as what we have on Samsung’s Galaxy Note line, so no Bluetooth or motion tricks here.
Around the back, you will find a triple cam setup with a 48MP primary shooter and 5MP ultrawide module accompanied by a 5MP depth helper. The selfie shooter has a 32MP sensor.
The K71 is powered by the Helio P35 chipset alongside 4GB RAM and 128GB storage which is firther expandable via microSD cards.
The K71 has a 4,000 mAh battery, headphone jack and dual speaker setup with DTS:X 3D support. The phone boots Android 10 with LG’s UX interface.
