Build and Display
LG Class shows off an attractive slim design and features an all-metal construction of flagship devices. It measures just 7.4 millimetres in thickness and weighs 147 grams.
LG Class sports a 5-inch touch display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and pixel density of 293 pixels per inch. The IPS panel, which features 2.5D curved glass, should offer amazing wide-angle viewing.
Camera and Display
The LG Class boasts a robust camera configuration. On the rear is an impressive 13-megapixel shooter with LED flash and other premium features for superb shots every time.
Turn the phone around and you are presented with an 8-megapixel selfie snapper – similar to that of the flagship LG G4 – for breathtaking shots. Buyers get ample internal storage of 16GB capacity, which they will be able to expand further by up to an amazing 2 TB with the use of a microSD card.
Hardware and OS
LG equipped the Class with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, which is clocked at 1.2 GHz. While that 64-bit chip should deliver responsive performance, it is probably not the best choice at this price, except you are only interested in buying a smartphone from a top brand.
The processor is paired with decent 2 GB of RAM and an Adreno 306 GPU. The LG Class runs on recent Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system which offers impressive features and apps.
Other Features
The LG Class is accompanied by a decent 2050mAh battery that is, sadly, non-removable. It packs a 1-watt speaker which its maker says provides ‘clear sound.’ The smartphone offers 4G LTE support to enable users enjoy blazing mobile browsing and downloading speeds.
Connectivity features also include NFC, Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. LG Class will be available in gold, blue and silver colours.
Pricing and availability
LG Class is not available in Nigeria, but will launch on October 8, 2015 in Korea. We currently have no data on pricing and availability. When available, LG Class Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N75,000 to N120,000, depending on your location.
