4 cameras for all tastes
But if the new affordable mobile phone of the firm stands out for something, it is because of the care that has been put in the photography section. The LG K42 Quad CAM features a quad rear camera encased in a square module where we stumble upon a 13-megapixel primary sensor, a 5-megapixel wide-angle sensor, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro shooter.
The 13 MP main camera is designed to collect as much light as possible and deliver a good result in all conditions. Be it the most spectacular sunset or a night landscape. The sensor uses a PDAF approach to deliver sharp, high-resolution images.
It is followed by a super wide-angle sensor which with its 115º field of view is perfectly capable of capturing wider scenes and enhancing group photos or landscape photography.
To improve these scenes, the LG K42 Quad CAM camera uses a depth sensor that allows us to analyze the distance between the subject and the background and apply different bokeh effects on our images. In this way, our portraits leave the background out of focus, offering a more natural and, above all, professional look.
Finally we have the macro sensor that allows us to take sharp, detailed photos from 4 cm away. All this without the need to zoom.
As if this were not enough, the LG camera app has all the possible AI tools that allow us to automatically adjust the shooting variables to improve, without even realizing it, the images we capture. The camera itself detects what we are focusing on and adjusts the parameters based on up to 8 different scenarios.
A front camera to match
On the front, the LG K42 Quad CAM comes with an 8 megapixel selfie camera that allows us to bring out our creative side when taking selfies. This sensor allows us to take high resolution photos and apply a natural blur to the background to show off on our social networks.
This complete mid-range reaches stores throughout the month of November.
