LG K61 - user opinions and reviews

One of the best Android phones I have ever owned. It's been dropped on the concrete many times and like a Timex TM. Takes a licking and keeps going strong. I have an iPhone 14 Promax and I can't see the benefit of the overpriced Apple.

My regular phone is in repair currently and I got the LG K61 as a backup. After spending just a few days with it I have to say it's complete GARBAGE. Even if you're looking for just a basic low end phone to do basic tasks, STAY AWAY from this one.
Constant freezes and hangs, huge input lag or missing inputs entirely, can't even do things like confirming something in a bank app because as soon as I switch back, the other app resets itself like it was killed in the background. Even games with simple graphics are absolutely unplayable and become a stutterfest. If you value your sanity DO NOT BUY. I am constantly fighting the urge to just throw it against the wall and the only reason I'm not doing it is because I have no alternative at the moment.

I have had this phone for 2 years. This phone is the biggest piece of crap that you could ever purchase. LG customer support is absolute garbage. This phone is absolute garbage. It hangs, it stalls, and it barely even functions as a regular phone. I have been an LG customer for 15 years. I will never buy an LG phone again. If you're thinking about buying this phone, you're nuts. Do not buy this piece of garbage. I hate this phone, and I can't wait to get another phone. LG you suck.

I have had my lgk61 for 3 years. I am not sure about the typical lifespan of a phone including this one, but thinking that this is not old for a phone. My internet went off one day and never came back. Everything is hooked up and working but still no luck..no internet. My service provider is Virgin and through all the people I have spoken to ...from customer care to the tech dept. no one seems to know why or how to fix the problem. This has never happened to me before and must say..it is rather puzzling and extremely annoying. I am told that it is my phone and I need a new one...perhaps, but find it very hard to wrap my head around the fact that just after paying this one off, I need a new phone already. Never had a problem before and not sure what should be done

joeblow, 20 Jun 2022I've done that yet it's still performing extremely poorly after this dogshit update.... moreI honestly wouldn't know, I haven't had any issues myself after limiting background applications. I'd probably suggest investigating what's running in the background, try to find what's stealing your system resources and either uninstall the offending app or limit it's use in the background.
The chipset is pretty weak regardless. I don't have a lot installed on my k61 other than basic messaging and social media apps. Clearly there's some kind of issue with the way the android 11 update manages it's own resources because these issues were not present with the android 10 update.

To anyone complaining about this phones performance - enable developer options and limit background apps to 4 only. This made the android 11 update on this phone a lot more usable for me.

Of all the smartphones I've ever owned, this is by far the worst I've ever had. The fact that LG released this device is absolutely shameful. My LG G7 One, which is a few generations prior, that I had before this device, performs 10 times better. The chipset is crap and slow as heck. The device hangs. Input is laggy and sometimes unresponsive. The device even has trouble playing basic videos on youtube and other streaming services. It CRASHES when doing conference calls where one of the people shares their desktop in some conferencing apps.
I have just spent several hundreds of dollars on a new device out of frustration because of how bad this one is. And I don't think I even want to sell it to get rid of it because I don't want anyone else to suffer the frustration that I have felt from using this phone. It'll go right to the e-waste center where it will be torn apart for it's materials. Complete garbage.

I find that the phone lags and does not make the best of wifi connections. i often have to go back to my lg3 stylo plus. otherwise battery life phone and text service well. lgk61 would not be my first choice of phones. but that is no longer an issue since lg is out of the cell phone business, oh well. rant complete.
