LG today announced that it would be unveiling two new L-series Android running smartphones at IFA — the L Fino and L Bello. The “smartly-priced” handsets are powerful alternatives to higher-priced smartphones, which LG says makes it perfect for teenagers and first-time smartphone users.
Both devices come with a quad-core processor and sport some of the UX features as seen on the LG G3 like Smart Keyboard, Touch & Shoot and Gesture Keyboard. In typical LG style, the volume and power keys on these devices are located on the back to aid usability and to keep the bezels at a minimum.
“With their competitive specs and accessible pricing, we have high hopes for the L Fino and L Bello to continue our successful expansion into emerging markets,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Our newest L Series smartphones represent the best of LG in design, hardware and UX as well as our commitment to bringing best smartphone experience to 3G customers as many as possible.”
