LG hasn’t clearly told us when to expect the successor to its flagship LG G6, but that won’t stop the company from unleashing other devices. Today ahead of its MWC appearance, the company has announced that it will be unveiling not 1, 2, 3, but 4 smartphones as part of its 2018 K series lineup at the MWC 2018 in few days time.
The company says the LG K8 2018, and all variants of the LG K10 2018 will come with flagship grade features that will bridge the gap between its G series, the V series, and its more budget-friendly, accessible mass-tier devices.
The LG K8 2018 which according to LG will deliver more advanced camera UX features for 2018 and low-light photography has been improved from the previous generation K8 with even brighter, clearer images. Favorite features such as Auto Shot, Gesture Shot, Flash for Selfie and Quick Share are carried over to the new K8 by popular demand.
The LG K8 flaunts a 5.0inch HD display with the old-fashioned aspect ration and powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core CPU coupled with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. The device will be powered by a 2500mAh removable battery, but will, unfortunately, boot Android Nougat out of the box.
