How Long Will Your Phone last you? LG’s Brand of Smartphones are Built for the Unexpected

Raise your hand if you have ever bought the latest mobile device only for the manufacturer to replace it months later with a sleek and better version of the same device. It is also possible that you know someone who stops using their phones and buys a flagship smartphone of their favorite manufacturer every time a new version of it is launched.

For majority of Kenyan youths, buying a smartphone is a one-time investment and the most fundamental question one ought to ask is that, how long does these smartphones last? And is buying such expensive smartphones really worth it?

Despite their relatively small size, smartphones are quite expensive devices for most youths in the country. On average, most people replace their smartphones within 2 years and if you relate this to the cost, what comes to mind is that they deserve a better life span than the two years of use, which is always followed by a perpetual stay in some dusty cabinet in the house.

It is possible to buy smartphones with an eye to longevity. The key to this is the underlying aspects of such a phone being the build, waterproof levels, display, phone, design, battery life and software. The LG G7 ThinQ will last you more than the normal average lifespan of 2 years.  “Our wide array of smartphone devices and especially our LG G7 ThinQ is not only a mere work of art that you can hold in the palm of your hand, but is a smartphone specifically built with the consumer in mind- with an end goal of brilliance and durability,”  says Moses Marji, LG Electronics General Manager, East Africa.

Software

LG has a new software update centre, with the sole goal of ensuring timely and regular upgrades and valuable new features such as AI capabilities. Having the latest software versions help in protecting your smartphone against malware and ransomware attacks thereby increasing its lifespan.

Design

With LG G6, you will not have to worry about accidental drops on relatively rough environments during your everyday use as it is built for endurance.

Battery life

Battery is one of the key features for having a long lasting smartphone. Although the LG G7 has a relatively low capacity of 3000mAh battery, you will be blown away by how long it can last. On a lighter usage day characterized with a bit of messaging and social media usage, you could end up remaining with more than 50 per cent of battery charge, therefore giving you an extra edge of more than 24 hours of usage after every single charge. This in the long run prevents you battery from overheating that would come as result of regular charging.

LG’s belief that all customers deserve the best technology possible has seen them bring to the market innovative and over-the-edge smartphones built for efficiency, reliability and stamina.
