LG has released a new affordable smartphone into Telstra stores at a sub-$200 price.

For $179 you’ll get this 5-inch smartphone with a slim 8.1mm size.

Ideal as a first phone for the kids, or as a smartphone for that grey-nomad who has been clinging to their flip phone, the battery and camera will be ideal for those users.

With a 5MP camera front and back it’s not going to out-shoot the iPhone or Samsung flagship phones – but it will be perfect for your instagram stories.

If reaching for the shutter button on a selfie is a stretch, the K4 has a cool feature called Gesture Shot which triggers the shutter with a simple hand gesture.

It’s a simple phone, with advanced Android features, available now at Telstra stores
