LG has unveiled four mid-range smartphones with top of the line specs and features normally found in premium handsets. The company unveiled the phones—LG Spirit, LG Leon, LG Joy, and LG Magna—ahead of the MWC 2015 in Barcelona, and the handsets are expected to start rolling out this week.

"LG's new mid-range collection continues our legacy of offering amazing smartphones at reasonable prices," said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG. "For millions of consumers around the world, the deciding factor on which smartphone to buy isn't how fast or how big it is but how balanced it is. With our new mid-range smartphones, more and more customers will be looking to LG for their next handsets."

The LG Magna is the largest and most spec-heavy among the four phones. It measures 5.5 x 2.75 x 0.40 and has a 5-inch screen with pixel density of 294ppi. It comes with 8GB internal memory and has a quad core chip and runs on the Android 5.0 Lollipop. It's equipped with an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera.
