The M257 version, sold by Cricket Wireless has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 system-on-chip with a 1.4 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU and an Adreno 308 GPU; [1] other models use the MediaTek MT6750 system-on-chip [2] with an octa-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU comprising a four-core cluster clocked at 1.5 GHz and another four-core cluster clocked at 1.0 GHz and an ARM Mali-T860 MP2 GPU. All models have 2 GB of RAM.

LG K10 (2017) model has 16 GB of internal storage with 9 GB of usable space; the internal storage is expandable up to 2 TB using a microSD card. It has a 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

LG K10 (2017) 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 Android 8.1.0 Oreo update in India.

The built-in panic button is a key selling point in South Asia, [3] in response to Indian legislation requiring mobile phones sold in the country to have an alarm feature built in [4] following controversy over incidents such as the 2012 Delhi gang rape.
