A week ahead of MWC 2015, LG have announced 4 new smartphones for the midrange with the LG Magna, Spirit, Leon and Joy. All four will be available in LTE and 3G versions and share a metallic back with a curved design for a sleeker profile. Tech specs range from the LG Magna with a 5-inch display, to the 4.7-inch display LG Spirit and 4.5-inch display LG Leon. These three will share features like Android 5.0 Lollipop, an 8MP rear camera and 5MP front camera with some lower end variations for different model types. The LG Joy on the other hand will be the entry-level version with a 4-inch display, 5MP rear camera, VGA front camera, 1GB RAM and 8GB storage but it will still support 4G LTE and have a version that comes with Android 5.0 Lollipop as well. The phones will feature LG UX functions like Gesture Shot, Glance View and others. No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing but due to LG's rather weak presence here in Malaysia, we expect these to only show up at third-party sellers.
Check out the full tech specs and quotes below:
“LG’s new mid-range collection continues our legacy of offering amazing smartphones at reasonable prices. For millions of consumers around the world, the deciding factor on which smartphone to buy isn’t how fast or how big it is but how balanced it is. With our new mid-range smartphones, more and more customers will be looking to LG for their next handsets.” Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company
