LG has never had an issue announcing their goods ahead of the trade show they’ll be showing them off at, and they’ve done just that with today’s release. The company has announced four new mid-range smartphones to kick off the first half of 2015.
They’re nothing special on paper alone, but it’s a very solid lineup of devices that should be priced well enough for anyone not willing to spend their entire wallet on top-end phones. Here’s the full list with their respective specs:
LG Magna
- 5-inch 720P display (294 ppi)
- 1.2 GHz or 1.3GHz quad-core chipset

Kind of confusing, eh? The exact specifications for each device is dependent on market, though LG hasn’t gone into specifics about who will get what. Note that they all come in both 3G and LTE flavors so you should be able to use them with whichever networks you fancy.
The design language of the smartphones follows the company’s best smartphones by placing volume and power control on the rear. It seems LG has come to prefer this setup as it helps give them a different look up against all the other typical cookie cutter devices we see.
And that’s about all for now. We’ll know more once we hit the show floor at Mobile World Congress to get a good look at these for ourselves. You can find the full press release at the jump.
