Performance
Equipped with a Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 chipset, the LG K42 is built for basic performance operations, driven by an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor clocking at 2.0 GHz. The PowerVR GE8320 GPU handles graphical tasks adequately for its class but does not support resource-intensive gaming or graphic design applications. The phone comes with 64GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSDXC card, and 3GB of RAM, which is quite modest but acceptable for the phone's market segment. It originally runs on Android 10 but is upgradeable to Android 11, ensuring users can access more recent software features and security updates.
