Launched in June 2016 from Vodacom, the sleek 4.5-inch LG K4 is one of LG's K series of devices. This mid-level range of smartphones 'was designed with a premium look and feel and offers advanced camera features without a premium price.'

Aimed at younger smartphone users, who mostly use their devices for social media and snapping pics, the entry-level LG K4 has some great features with an affordable price tag.

Our 5 favourite features:

1. The screen – The compact 4.5-inch display is bright and sharp. Colours pop and the design is slick.

2. Gesture shot – An awesome selfie feature introduced by LG in previous devices is Gesture Shot. When you're ready to shoot your selfie, just make a fist with your hand and a three-second countdown begins! 

3. Selfie flash – The 2MP selfie camera has a nifty feature for night-time selfies: the screen lights up before you shoot to improve the shot. It's perfect for SnapChat.

4. 5MP main camera –  The 5MP main camera on the LG K4 is easy to use and takes great photos too. 

5. It's LTE-enabled – This means you can connect to Vodacom's super fast LTE network to experience super fast internet!
