The LG Q61 is an entry-level Android smartphone manufactured, designed and marketed by LG Electronics as part of the Q series. Unveiled on May 21, 2020, it was released eight days later in South Korea,[2] featuring a MIL-STD-810G military-grade durability and enhanced 7.1-channel with DTS:X 3D Surround Sound.[3]
Design
The LG Q61 is built with an emphasis on rugged durability while maintaining a modern mid-range aesthetic. It features physical dimensions of 164.5 x 77.5 x 8.4 mm and carries a total weight of 191 grams. A defining characteristic of the device's build quality is its strict compliance with the MIL-STD-810G military standard, certifying a level of resistance against drop damage and environmental stressors.[4][5]
The front of the smartphone is dominated by a modern hole-punch display design, positioning the front-facing camera in a small cutout to maximize screen area. The physical interface includes a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner for biometric security, alongside a dedicated physical button on the frame to instantly trigger Google Assistant. The smartphone was officially launched in a singular White color variant.

The device is equipped with a 6.5-inch FHD+ Hole-In IPS LCD screen that utilizes a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and outputs a crisp resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels.[3] Under the hood, the LG Q61 runs on a 12-nanometer MediaTek Helio P35 (MT6765) octa-core processor (with components made of 4x 2.3 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x 1.8 GHz Cortex-A53) clocked at 2.3GHz, which is paired with an IMG PowerVR GE8320 graphics processing unit. It comes configured with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to an additional 2TB via a dedicated microSD card slot.[3][6] The device houses a li-po 4,000mAh battery.[5]

On the audio side, the phone includes a standard 3.5mm headphone jack and features DTS:X 3D Surround Sound technology.[3]
