During the upcoming MWC fair, LG will showcase four new smartphones. Unfortunately, in Barcelona, we will not see the new flagship, there will be announced instead of this new budget models destined for sale on the so-called emerging markets.
LG Magna, Spirit, Leon and Joy are a harbinger of changes in the company's line of cheap smartphones. The phones will get the styling reminiscent of the more expensive LG models, they will also - despite the low price - support LTE connectivity. The phones (depending on the market) will also be offered in the 3G version. Different models depending on the selected options vary with the finish of the back cover: metallic in the models with LTE and with texture in 3G models.
The smartphones will also have the interface elements familiar with the higher positioned models. Among them it is worth highlighting Gesture Shot which makes it easy to take great selfies with a simple hand gesture that starts a three-second countdown. Another interesting option is Glance View which lets users quickly access key information such as time, recent messages or missed calls with a simple downward swipe of the screen, even while the display is off. In addition, the models Magna and Spirit have In-cell Touch display, which offer improved sensitivity with faster touch recognition. The screen is thinner and lighter than conventional. These displays have gently curved design and are distinguished by a subtle 3000mm radius curve for a sleeker, more attractive profile.
