I have the LG k40 by Metro, and it has a 13mp rear facing camera, and 32 gb of ram. Im really happy with this phone so far. I just got it a few days ago. So i guess youre correct in saying there is many versions of this phone.
Having seen this, I compared it to the current offering from AT&T. AT&T's K40 comes with a 13MP rear camera, 32 GB internal storage, and it thankfully comes with android Pie. It still baffles me why it would vary so much between carriers but still seems a solid choice.
I got the sucky looking MetroPCS version Edit: I said sucky looking. The app icons on the Metro version look bad. But the storage and software is amazing
Hey there✋Same here , I've had it exactly 1 week today! I go thru Metro T Mobile. I wanted to upgrade from my LG Aristo3 which I never had any problems except , couple months back, the battery would die quickly! Plus, I take tons of pictures and music video downloads, so I wanted a 32 GB with SD slot for xtra room, better camera for sure! I noticed that it was half full myself at like 48% It seems like it gets warm when charging again! What do you think is going on! Is my phone bugged?
Thank you for pointing out the total lack of storage space for extra apps. This factor is a deal breaker for me. I don't usually go for phones that have less than 32 GB of local storage
Got this phone free at T-MOBILE just had to pay two prepaid months in advance. Got 32 GB storage and 2GB of ram version and have portable SD card but it's not handy to use the SD card the way it sets up as portable. They should have it format at internal so you can move apps to it.

Lg k40 for metro pcs with T-Mobile. Have it on $229. 5.7" HD+. 13mp & 5mp front. 32gb internal memory. And 119.99 for upgrade if already with metro pcs !!! Just went in.

It seems whether 16gb or 32gb internal memory, the base install takes up about 40%-50%. Same with my 8gb phones a few years back. Would spending tons on a 64gb android give me a 30gb OS? What's going on here?

I have an lg k40 and i hate it. It freeze s everytime, it takes minutes to load games and searches on google, messages on Whats app are sent rlly hard, and sometimes the mic stops working.
I haven't seen any reviews on this phone being a gaming phone because ( it has it's own game launcher built in the settings) so wouldn't it be considered a pre gaming phone?...
Metro has the LG K40 right now for free when you activate a new Line. I payed $40. for my plan plus $15. for activation and taxes 8.5% = total $56.55 in Hillsborough county fl. after the first month I will not pay the monthly plan and will do a switch back to my old number.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been with metro for YEARS and I'm up for an upgrade and they said "we'll give you this phone with a case and activation included for 210$!" I thought it was a good deal til I came home and did the research. Now I'm definitely not getting it. Back to square 1 😢. Thank you though!💙
Wow they charged me $150 and it wasn't an upgrade for me I was using the LG Q7 plus and the charging port broke insurance wanted me to pay a $100 deductible in order for them to send a refurbished LGQ7 I wasn't paying that much for a used phone so I settled for the K40 SMDH and dropped my insurance also a waste of $10 a month.
@@Gmen4life yeah I think that's how much the phone is worth now about 150 that's why 210 wasnt much of a discount for me. They included the case and screen protector but HELLOOOO they were charging me for both lol. I ended up getting the Samsung Galaxy A20 for 200$. It is what it is ya know?
@@Gmen4life and yes they always get you with the worthless insurance. NOBODY wants a refurbished phone...especially if you're paying for it after paying for the insurance as well...its trickery! Lol

Hey I used to have a samsung. I just got this ph today and the sound (when speaking on ph) is horrible. The samsung Galaxy J1 sounded amazing. I want to return it. Am I missing something?
I bought a LG k40 and I've been having problems with it I'm not getting picture messages and I went to my phone company about it and they said that they're going to have to send me a new one instead of me just buying a new phone
I strongly reccomend just saving a bit more money and getting a better device. Ive had this phone for a little over a month and it is complete trash and I am not hard to please. Ive been using cheap prepaid phones for years and this is at par with the cheapest zte phones meaning it is obsolete trash. All apps freeze and lag especially games. The camera is blurry. Obsolete charging input (micro usb) Videos barely play. The screen is tiny. Its your money, but im begging you please do not buy this phone.
Only thing I hate is can't figure out how to move apps from internal storage to sd card. I have one through tmobile and 32g storage but 14 or so is the software smh. I also have a 60g sd card but I'm already running out bc I can't figure out how to move apps to where all my storage is. Didn't have this problem on my LG K7 smh. Very easy to move apps over on that phone even though I had to re-move them every time they had a play store update but that's much better than not being able to move them at all on this K40!!!
Lg is just repackaging all their 2016/17 hardware in different handsets and overpricing them. Check out what Nokia and Samsung is doing in the budget and midranged segment instead. What you can get for $ 150-$200 bucks compared to LG is almost shamefull.
I specialize in doing budget phone reviews and videos. It's been that way for almost two years. I occasionally do make videos about tech that isn't phones but that's not the focus of this channel.
I’ve actually had one of its predecessors, the K20 plus, which is exactly the same phone, albeit with Android Nougat instead of Oreo. Two years and no hardware upgrades to their K series. That’s what I mean by trash.
You have no idea how bad and buggy Xiaomi software is. And also you have the chance that the network antenna bands will not work on the international models.

Kevin thanks for your honest opinion. I was considering this until I saw your video, I think I can do much better now that I saw your video.
Glad you found the video to be helpful.
I did and I appreciate the good video you did on this phone. I may have gotten it if not for your video.
The micro USB, Android 8.1, and 16 GBs of storage 9 out of it were all too many cons for me. I hope LG does better on their next model.
Yall do your research, he's doing excellent!
Thank you haha!
