LG is expected to unveil four mid-range smartphones from its newest line at the 2015 Mobile World Congress (MWC) next week. The four devices, namely LG Magna, LG Spirit, LG Leon and LG Joy brings the popular UX features originally found on LG’s premium smartphones including Gesture Shot which allows users to take photos with a simple hand gesture and Glance View which provides easy access to information such as time, recent messages or missed calls with a simple downward swipe of the screen.
Offering a perfect balance of style and usability, the LG Magna and LG Spirit features gently curved designs with 3000mm radius curved displays providing sleeker looks and making the smartphones fit comfortably in the hands. The LG Magna features 5-inch in-cell touch display, a quad core processor, an 8 MP main camera, 5 MP front camera and 2,540 mAh removable battery. The LG Spirit on the other hand has a smaller 4.7-inch in-cell touch display, quad core processor and 8MP camera.
The LG Leon offers a 4.5-inch display in a compact, premium-looking body while the LG Joy has a 4-inch display. The four devices will be available in both LTE and 3G versions, with the LTE models bearing metallic back covers and the 3G versions featuring patterned plastic back covers.
“œLG’s new mid-range collection continues our legacy of offering amazing smartphones at reasonable prices,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “œFor 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.”
