The 2017 model has a redesigned form factor with a rear-mounted power button/fingerprint sensor, though it has a similar 5.3" 720p display with the previous incarnation and different internal hardware variants depending on the region. The M257 version, sold by Cricket Wireless has Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 and a quad-core processor;^[1] other models use the MediaTek MT6750 SoC. All models have 2 GB RAM.

The 2017 model has 16 GB of internal storage with 9 GB usable space, and expandable of up to 2 TB using microSD card. It has 2800 mAh battery, compared to the predecessor's 2100 mAh battery. Some models have a fingerprint sensor embedded on the power button at the rear, NFC, and/or dual-SIM.

Software[]

The 2017 model runs on Google's Android 7.0 Nougat with LG's user interface. The software supports knock-on gesture, allowing to unlock the phone by tapping on the display. In 2018, it has received its Android 8.1.0 Oreo update in India.

The built-in panic button is a key selling point in South Asia,^[2] in response to Indian legislation requiring mobile phones sold in the country to have an alarm feature built in^[3] following controversy over incidents such as the 2012 Delhi gang rape.
