New LG X series to be unveiled at MWC

LG has announced that in addition to its new LG G5 flagship, it will unveil two new mid-range models at MWC next week. The models will be called the LG X cam and the LG X screen. While the devices will have some of the features found on LG's high-end handsets, they are designed "for customers who do not want or need all the bells and whistles that come with today's high-end phones."

The LG X cam features a 5.2-inch screen, carrying a 1080 x 1920 resolution. An octa-core 1.14GHz CPU powers the phone. 2GB of RAM is inside, along with 16GB of native storage. This model sports two rear-facing cameras. One is 13MP while the other is 5MP. A front-facing 8MP camera takes selfies and handles video chats. A 2520mAh battery keeps the lights on, and Android 6.0 is pre-installed. The LG X cam is extremely light, weighing only 118 grams, and has an "elegant curved finish on the front." The handset's thickness ranges from 5.2mm to 6.9mm. It will be offered in Titan Silver, White, Gold and Pink Gold.

The LG X screen features a 4.93-inch In-cell main screen with a 720 x 1280 HD resolution. A 1.76-inch secondary screen is on top and shows notifications, time, weather and battery status without having to turn on the phone. Users will be also able to access their favorite apps from the screen. This is similar to the secondary screen found on the LG V10, and is rumored to be included with the LG G5. A quad-core 1.2GHz CPU drives the model, which features 2GB of RAM and 16GB of native storage. Keeping the generator humming is a 2300mAh battery, and Android 6.0 is pre-installed. This model will be offered in Black, White and Pink Gold.


Both phones will be officially introduced on February 22nd, the day after the LG G5 event, and will launch next month in Asia, Europe and Latin America.
