LG Announces Four Mid-Range Smartphones Before The MWC

Looks like there will not be much left as a surprise at the LG MWC pavilion after all.

 

LG has announced 4 new mid-range smartphones called the Magna, Spirit, Leon and Joy. The smartphones offer a premium look and feel and seem to designed keeping in mind the competition from Samsung’s recently launched A and E series of handsets.

The handsets are well designed and come with plastic and metal back covers. The press release mentions that the metal back covers are reserved for the LTE versions of the handsets while the 3G versions get the plastic ones. Still then, both variants of each of the four devices come with identical designs.

One thing that you will notice though, are all those bezels. This indeed the one thing that sets the new mid-rangers apart from the premium range of handsets.

Everything is pretty much premium in terms of software. There is Gesture Shot, Glance View (that debuted with the G Flex 2) and much more, that will make users forget that they are using a budget-mid-range device.

As for the hardware specifications, they are as follows:
