First off is the entry-level smartphone, the LG K5. The K5 packs a 5.0-inch FWGA display with MediaTek MT6735 chip on the side. It boasts 1GB of RAM, with 8GB of internal storage and shooting-wise, it packs a fairly decent 5MP/2MP camera pairing. It runs on an older Android 5.1 Lollipop, with a 1900mAh battery capacity to keep it running.
Next is a more premium handset in the K-series, the LG K8. The K8 sports a 5.0-inch 720p HD display with the same chipset as the K5. Interestingly, the K8 is market dependent on its RAM capacity, with the US and Europe packing in a bigger 1.5GB of RAM while the LATAM market version would be at 1GB of RAM. For the camera, it packs a larger 8MP rear shooter and 5MP selfie shooter, while running with a 2125mAh battery capacity.
