The version of the LG K30 sold on Amazon is a little different. Unlike the T-Mobile version that has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, the unlocked version sold on Amazon has 16GB of storage. Another difference is that the T-Mobile version has a 13MP rear camera and a 2880mAh battery while the unlocked version has an 8MP rear camera and a 3000mAh battery.

Other than the above, the remaining specs are the same. It has a 5.3-inch HD screen, a Snapdragon 425 processor, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a 5MP front camera with its own LED flash. The unlocked LG K30 runs Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box and has a MicroSD card slot for storage expansion.

LG has announced a new budget phone for the US market. The new LG K30 was announced yesterday and is now available on T-Mobile.

The LG K30 is actually not a new phone. It is the same device as the LG K10 released in the first quarter of the year but with a new name and some little differences.

The phone has a 5.3-inch HD screen and is powered by a Snapdragon 425 processor. It has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage (16GB on the K10). A single 13MP sensor with PDAF sits on the back and there is a 5MP selfie camera.

The LG K30 has a 2880mAh battery with support for fast charging. There is also a fingerprint scanner on the rear of the device. It also runs Android 7.1 Nougat and not Marshmallow like the K10

While the specs are entry level, the price is a bit on the high side. T-Mobile is asking for $225 for the device or $9/month for 24 months. It is available only in Aurora Black.

What Evan Blass revealed almost three months ago has finally come to pass: a new LG entry-level smartphone is making its way to T-Mobile in the US. Right after LG G7’s announcement, the handset has been spotted on a support page of the known U.S. carrier, meaning that the launch should be near. From the specs and renders surfaced, we can easily understand that it will carry a very affordable price tag. The handset has appeared with a full metal unibody design in Black color.

It has pretty thick bezels and a fingerprint reader on the rear side which doubles as a power key. So there is only a volume rocker on the side of the phone. LG K30 has a 5.3-inch display with the classic 16:9 aspect ratio. The resolution is not mentioned but we believe it will either be HD or even lower than 720p. Among the internal components, there is a quad-core chipset running at a max frequency of 1.4 GHz. The name of the SoC is not mentioned in the specs sheet, but judging from the clock frequency and basing on the latest devices released by LG, we should be talking about Qualcomm Snapdragon 425.

The SoC is supported by 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage which is possible to expand with a micro SD up to 2 TB. LG K30 has a single rear camera with a resolution of 13 MP and a front snapper with a 5 MP resolution. On the connectivity side, it supports Wi-Fi N, Wi-Fi Calling 2.0, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2 and VoLTE. The battery has a capacity of 2880 mAh (which will be enough for a long battery life in every scenario if well-optimized) and it can be charged through a USB-C port. According to the listing, the battery will be able to last up to 13 hours on a single charge. The device still runs Nougat.
