LG has launched a new entry-level model dubbed K12+ in Brazil and it is basically the K40 by another name. The launch was without any fanfare but that doesn’t mean the device doesn’t tick most of the boxes to be regarded as a decent device even though it is an entry-level model. LG K12+ offers users a number of spectacular features ordinarily you can get only on the more expensive LG models. Some of these features include powerful audio and AI-enhanced software.

On the specifications, the K12+ features a 5.7-inch HD+ screen which uses the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio meaning there is no notch. The device is powered by an Octa-core Helio P22 SoC paired up with 2GB of RAM. There is only a 32GB storage option available which can be expanded. For photography, the device packs an 8MP selfie shooter which also has a LED flash.

The back panel is made from plastic and at the middle sits a single 16MP camera with an LED flash. There is equally a fingerprint sensor in the middle. Providing the interface is the Android 8.1 Oreo-based OneUI. The device packs the power button on the right side of the screen while the left side has the volume rockers and a dedicated Google Assistant button below the volume controls.

In other aspects, the K12 Plus packs a 3000 mAh battery which can be topped up using the micro USB port it packs. The device also comes with DTS:X 3D Surround Sound support when plugging the headphones in the device’s 3.5mm jack. You also get the MIL-STD 810G certification which shows the frame is of military grade.

For an entry-level model, the K12+ presents with a R$ 1,199 ($308) price tag which we consider way too expensive. There are better options at that price point. Nevertheless, the device comes in Moroccan Blue, Platinum Gray, and Black colour options.
