LG today announced a new Android powered smartphone for its home market — the LG Band Play. The handset focuses on camera and speaker performance, and features 1-watt speakers to deliver great sound quality.

LG has also included ‘QuadBit 3’ earphones with the handset that offer exceptional sound quality.

Other specs of the Band Play include a 5-inch 720p display, a Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 2GB RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, 16GB internal storage, microSD card slot and a 2300mAh removable battery. The rear of the handset houses a 13MP camera with laser auto focus, while there is a wide-angle 5MP selfie camera in the front.

On the software front, the Band Play runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop with LG’s UI on top of it. The handset comes with some camera features already seen on the G4 like Gesture Shot, Gesture View, and more.

It is unlikely that LG will be launching the Band Play outside of Korea. In its home country though, the Band Play goes on sale this Thursday for KRW394,800.
