LG has always been known for being the first company to make announcements ahead of Mobile World Congress. Last year, the Korean tech giant announced four phones ahead of the event. For 2016, it seems LG is planning to outdo itself by announcing a number of phones including its next-generation flagship model – the G5.
This week, the Korean company has announced the first batch of handsets it plans to unveil in Barcelona.
For starters, LG is launching a new series of smartphones, which is headlined by the X Cam and X Screen. According to the company’s executives, these phone are built with a specific consumer group in mind – those who want a great camera or great display without the high-end price tag.
On one end, the LG X Cam sports a 5.2-inch Full HD display and comes with a 1.14GHz octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. It also has a 2520mAh battery and is equipped with two rear cameras (13MP+5MP) and an 8MP front shooter.
On the other end, the LG X Screen runs with a 4.93-inch HD screen that is complemented by a 1.76-inch LCD secondary display that is implemented in the same fashion as that of the LG V10. Performance is handled by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
The X Screen also comes with a 13MP+8MP camera setup, a 2300mAh battery and runs on Android Marshmallow.
Then there’s the LG Stylus 2, which will replace the G4 Stylus from last year. The Stylus 2 will be a phablet with a 5.7-inch HD display. It will be powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor which is partnered with 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
The device also comes with a 3000mAh battery as well as a 13MP+8MP camera combo. Of course, the highlight of the handset will be the stylus, which according to LG will now have a nano-coated tip instead of the rubber tip used on the stylus of its predecessor.
In order to maximize the use of the stylus, LG has baked in a number of software which include Pen Pop, Pop Memo, Pop Scanner and Pen Keeper.
All three phones will be officially showcased next week in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress 2016.
