What the Critics Are Saying...


PC Magazine

The LG K10 is a relatively affordable MetroPCS phone with a nice design and a decent display, but it comes up short everywhere else.

If we have to give this phone to a regular user, he won’t feel any annoyance as the phone is pretty stable from performance perspective. The camera is still questionable though.

It is too middling in many aspects. But users who see their smartphone as an everyday tool will get a decent device.
