Luxury smartphones are nothing new in the mobile world, and today LG took the wraps off of its new ultra-premium handset.
The LG Signature Edition has been announced for South Korea. LG touts that only 300 units will be sold, with each one commanding a price of 2 million won ($1,820).
So what do you get for nearly $2,000? The LG Signature Edition looks like a more premium version of the LG V30, boasting features like a 6-inch 2880z1440 OLED display, dual rear camera setup that includes a 16-megapixel sensor with f/1.6 aperture and a 13-megapixel wide angle sensor, and a Snapdragon 835 processor.
There is a bit more RAM and storage in the LG Signature Edition than in the LG V30, with the LG Signature Edition boasting 6GB of RAM and 256GB of built-in storage. There's a microSD slot included, too, in case 256GB isn't enough for you.
Rounding out the specs of the LG Signature Edition is a 5-megapixel wide angle front camera, USB Type-C, IP68 water and dust resistance, a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC, and a 3,300mAh battery. It runs Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box.
One other notable feature of the LG Signature Edition is what it's made of. The device features a back made of Zirconium Ceramic which LG says is mainly used in luxury watches and does not scratch.
