The LG W10 Alpha (LMX210LMW) is a new budget smartphone for the Indian market but its price and specs may work against it when compared to the competition.
The W10 Alpha has a 5.71-inch display with a “RainDrop Notch” and a 19:9 aspect ratio. The resolution maxes out at HD+ but that should be fine for its size. It is powered by the UNISOC SC9863 processor, a 28nm chipset with eight Cortex-A55 cores (4 cores clocked at 1.6GHz + 4 cores at 1.2GHz).
LG has paired the chipset with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage or you can pick the version with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Owners will be able to add up to an additional 128GB of storage via a dedicated MicroSD card slot.
The phone has a single rear camera and it is an 8MP sensor with an LED flash. It also has an 8MP selfie camera. There is no fingerprint scanner but there is “AI Facial Unlock” with 128 identification points and an unlock time of 0.3 seconds.
The LG W10 Alpha has dual SIM slots with support for Dual 4G VoLTE and ViLTE Dual SIM Dual Standby. It packs a 3450mAh battery with support for 5V 1.5A charging via a MicroUSB port. Unfortunately, LG ships it with Android 9.0 Pie.
The LG W10 Alpha is priced at INR 8,990 (~$125) for the 2GB RAM version and INR 9,999 (~$140) for the 3GB RAM version. At the above prices, LG will have a tough time convincing buyers to pick it over the Realme C3 and the Redmi 8A Dual that have better specs and are both priced at INR 6,999 (~$98) for their 3GB + 32GB variants.
The poster shows it is available in Blue and Black but only the black variant is available on the official website.
