LG new K Q series MWC2019

Ahead of Mobile World Congress later this month, the Life’s Good crew has officially announced a trio of new smartphones.

The company has just unveiled three new mid-range devices. Two of the handsets offer up displays just over six inches, with pretty big chins but smaller bezels along the sides and top. Each of the handsets also include a dedicated hardware button to launch Google Assistant.

The top-of-the-line model is the LG Q60, which features a 6.26-inch FullVision display, with a 19:9 aspect ratio. There is a 2.0GHz octa-core processor under the hood, 3GB of RAM, and 64GB of built-in storage. The LG Q60 can support a microSD card up to 2TB. On the back, a trio of cameras (“16MP with PDAF / 2MP with Depth Sensor / 5MP with Super Wide Angle”) is the star of the show. Meanwhile, there is a 13-megapixel front-facing camera on the other side.

The Q60 has a 3500mAh battery, a fingerprint sensor on the back, and DTS:X 3D Surround Sound support which simulates 7.1 surround sound when you’re using connected headphones.

Next up, the LG K50. This handset features a 6.26-inch display as well, along with a 2.0GHz octa-core processor. It features 3GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage, and a microSD card slot that can support a card up to 2TB. There are two cameras on the back (“13MP with PDAF / 2MP with Depth Sensor”), along with a 13-megapixel front-facing camera. The K50 features a 3500mAh battery, a fingerprint sensor on the back, and DTS:X 3D Surround Sound for that simulate 7.1 audio experience with headphones.

LG K40 official

Finally, the LG K40, which also features a 2.0GHz octa-core processor. The display shrinks down a bit to 5.7 inches, and it has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage. It also supports a microSD card up to 2TB, boasts a fingerprint reader, and a 3000mAh battery. There is a single 16MP camera on the back, with a 8MP front-facing camera on the other side. It also supports DTS:X 3D Surround Sound.

While LG is officially unveiling each new handset, the company is not going out of its way to say just how much each will cost, or when they will launch. The company will probably share that information soon, though. What do you think of the newest mid-range phones from LG?
