LG Unveils Four New Budget, Mid-range Smartphones — Magna, Spirit, Leon and Joy

MWC 2015 is just a couple of days away from us and just ahead of that LG has unveiled four new Android smartphones. Instead of the usual L or F-series branding, the new mid-range smartphones have been dubbed as LG Magna, LG Spirit, LG Leon and LG Joy. These phones will go on sale in selected markets from this week itself.

With its new mid-range line-up, LG is aiming to bring the design elements and features that is usually reserved for higher-end models to the masses. The new smartphones will be available in 3G or LTE variants depending on your region. While the LTE versions feature metallic back covers the 3G-only devices will come with plastic back covers. All the four devices run on Android 5.0 Lollipop and include features like Gesture Shot and Glance View which LG has usually reserved for its premium models until now.

The new smartphones will also be showcased at the MWC 2015 in Barcelona. The details about availability and pricing remains a mystery.
