LG Q Stylus
LG Q Stylus
The LG Q Stylus was launched in august 2018 for a price of Rupees 20,000. This is a mid price range device that comes with a stylus pen just like the Samsung Galaxy Note series devices. Although it has a stylus pen just like samsung, it fails to perform at the same levels.
The LG Q Stylus has a 6.2 inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen is capable of a stylus input and the stylus is the main selling point of this device, since it has been mentioned and promoted in the name of this phone.
The smartphone has a 3 GB RAM with a 32 GB of internal storage. It has dual SIM connectivity to all the major mobile service operators in India. The phone also gives you the option to expand the internal memory with a dedicated MicroSD slot which supports memory cards up to 2TB.
The rear camera is a 16 MP shooter and takes great pictures in natural light. Most of the times the camera performs well with some shots showing noise but that’s acceptable. The Q lens technology integrated in the device, that according to LG can be a rival to the G Series Lens to provide contextual based information. The front 8 MP camera takes decent snaps as well.
The Battery on this device is 3300 mAh and the device supports fast charging. The phone lasts easily for a single day on a single charge. As it supports fast charging, even if the phone runs out of juice you have the fast charging option to get it back to full.
The chipset on the LG Q Stylus is a Mediatek MT6750 and has a Cortex A-53 Octa core processor with a Mali-T860MP2 graphics chip. All these work well but there is some lag on the device from time to time.
The phone comes in three color variants of Aurora Black, Moroccan Blue and Lavender Violet.

CONS –
The Ultimate Review
The stylus is a good addition by LG to compete with the Samsung Galaxy series devices. For people who want to draw and work with a stylus on their devices without paying a high price for it, the LG Q Stylus is a good alternative. LG has also included a “Palm Rejection System” so the touch is not affected when using the stylus pen.
The hardware on the device is not the latest and the best but it works effectively with the 3GB of RAM and the stock android v8.1 Oreo.
The Battery and the camera performance is decent and you get the fast charging option as well.
The pricing of the device is a bit on the higher side as there are other smartphones on the market that offer better hardware and dual camera options at a much lower price. As far as the stylus is concerned, those are available in the market separately as well.
Go for it if you want LG otherwise there are much better options available.
