LG Class announced, comes with a metal body and Lollipop
LG Class is the latest smartphone from the Korean manufacturer, hinting at a new focus on metal phones. The LG Class is covered in metal and glass, with a blocky design reminiscent of some of the older phones from two-three years back.
Aimed at the mid-range with its specs, LG is hoping to attract customers who prefer metallic phones over plastic. That, in some ways, explains the slightly mediocre specs and a high price of $339. LG could be testing grounds for metal phones in the future much like Samsung did last year, but the LG Class is certainly not all that classy purely based on its blocky design.
- Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with Optimus UX on top
- 5 inch display, 720p HD resolution
- 1.2 GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor
- 13 MP camera, LED flash, front facing 8 MP camera
- 2 GB RAM, 16 GB internal storage expandable with a microSD card
- 4G LTE, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC
- 2050 mAh battery
LG is currently offering the Class only in its home country South Korea, headed to all South Korean carriers later this month. The price has been fixed at KRW 399,300, roughly translating to $339. There is no information on the availability of the LG Class in other markets as of now.
