LG will be hosting a media event on Sunday in Barcelona ahead of the official kick-off of the MWC19. The LG G8 ThinQ and the V50 ThinQ are supposed to be the highlights of the event, however, the Korean firm has some other devices up its sleeves that will be on display. And to get other things out of the way, the firm ahead of its Sunday event has unveiled the specs of a bunch of budgets friendly smartphones namely the LG Q60, LG K50 AND LG k40.
The Korean giant says these budget devices are well suited for those in need of premium specs and features without breaking the bank, even though there are little or no features that remind you of anything premium beyond let’s say their look, the DTS-X 3D Surround Sound, AI CAM, and their military-grade durability MIL-STD-810G against impact, vibration, high temperature, low temperature, thermal shock, and humidity.
