MWC 2018 kicks off next week, but LG just couldn't wait until then to share the news of its two new K Series smartphones.
The LG K8 and LG K10 are now official. LG's K Series of phones is meant to offer premium features at not-so-premium prices. These new devices are follow-ups to the original models that we saw launch in early 2016.
The new LG K8 features a 5-inch 1280x720 display, 8-megapixel rear camera, and 5-megapixel front camera. LG touts that low light photography has been improved on the K8, and it's also included HDR photo support.
Inside the LG K8 is a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a microSD card slot. A 2,500mAh battery powers the K8, and what's notable is that the battery is removable, which is something we don't often see on modern smartphones.
LG's K10 steps up its specs in a number of ways. It's got a larger 5.3-inch 1280x720 display and is equipped with a 13-megapixel rear camera that includes tech from the LG G6. There's also an 8-megapixel front camera that can add bokeh to your selfies.
The LG K10 spec list also includes a 1.5GHz octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of built-in storage, and a microSD card slot. Like the K8, the K10's 3,000mAh battery is removable. Also of note is that the LG K10 includes a rear fingerprint reader for added security.
Both the LG K8 and LG K10 will come equipped with Android 7.1.2 Nougat. The phones will launch globally in regions like Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. No launch timing or pricing details have been shared, though.
