Reviewer score 10%The MediaTek Helio P35 is not a performance miracle and with this SoC the LG K61 is clearly inferior to comparable devices in terms of performance. The microSD reader cuts a good figure with our reference memory card Toshiba Exceria Pro M501, but the internal memory is quite slow. The small mono speaker on the lower edge doesn't get very loud and can hardly display low mids.
