LG K10 Coming To South Korea, Comes With 5.3-Inch Display, 13MP Camera & 2,300 mAh Battery, Priced at $165
LG is putting on sale a new device that was introduced during the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2016 in Las Vegas. Dubbed as the LG K10, the device is said to hit its home market, South Korea, on Thursday, Jan. 14.
According to The Times of India, the handset will have a price tag of 200,000 Korean wons, which is equivalent to approximately $165. There are no details yet on when the model might come to other regions but it's expected to follow in the coming weeks so interested buyers outside South Korea will have to watch out for updates. The K10 was revealed alongside its sibling K7 and both are part of LG's new K series. However, there's no release date yet for the K7.
For those who are not aware yet, the LG K10 is a mid to low-end smartphone. But Phone Arena noted that the device was introduced with a premium feel. LG has called its design "a glossy pebble" because it features smooth, slightly curved edges. It also has a woven back pattern which provides users an optimal grip to it. Gadgets 360 detailed the handset will come in two color variants which are Indigo Black and White.
As for the hardware specs, the LG K10 sports a 5.3-inch HD display with pixel resolution of 720 x 1280. It is equipped under the hood with quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU along with 1.5 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. A microSD card slot is available for further expansion of memory storage.
The device will run with Android 5.1 Lollipop but many are hoping that it would be upgraded to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Furthermore, the new handset will carry a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera. It will be powered with 2,300 mAh removable battery and will support LTE connectivity.
Since LG K10 will be made available internationally soon, the device is expected to come with several configurations that will depend on the region it is sold.
