LG India, soon after starting pre-
bookings for the G4 smartphone, has
confirmed June 19 India launch date for
the handset. The company revealed the
launch date via an advertisement in a
newspaper, with a launch event in
Mumbai.
Notably, the promotional material has
also affirmed that the G4 launching in
India will support dual-SIM, a fact that
was strangely absent from the
company's pre-booking page. Recently,
Mumbai-based retailer claimed that the
LG G4 would launch at Rs. 51,500 in a
dual-SIM variant. Additionally, a third-
party online retailer also started selling
the dual-SIM of the LG G4 at Rs. 49,999
Both these incidents indicate that we
might only see the dual-SIM variant of
the LG G4 launched in India later this
month.
Considering that LG has already
launched two dual-SIM variants of the
G4, the LG G4 Dual SIM (H818P) and L
G4 Dual SIM (Dual LTE) H818N in selec
countries last month, we can expect one
of these variants to be unveiled at the
June 19 event.
The specifications of the LG G4 Dual SI
and LG G4 Dual SIM (Dual LTE) are
identical to the original LG G4, except th
inclusion of an extra SIM card slot.
To recall, the LG G4 features a 5.5-inch
Quad HD (1440x2560) IPS Quantum
display with a pixel density of 538ppi; a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor
clocked at 1.8GHz; 3GB RAM; 32GB
internal storage; expandable storage
support up to 2TB via microSD card;
3000mAh removable battery; 16-
megapixel rear camera with f/1.8 lens,
and an 8-megapixel front camera with
f/2.0 lens.
The LG G4 runs Android 5.1 Lollipop out
of the box with LG's new UX 4.0 on top.
Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides apps
come pre-installed on the phone, while
G4 owners will receive an additional
100GB of Google Drive storage free for
two years.
For interested consumers, LG India is
taking pre-orders for the G4 smartphone
till June 15, and pre-order customers
stand the chance to receive the handset
directly from Bollywood actor Amitabh
Bachchan. The company is also offering
few assured gifts for consumers who pre
order the G4 which include a LG G4
Metallic Finish Back Cover worth Rs.
2,000 inside the box; free one time
screen replacement worth Rs. 6,500, and
free extra battery with charging cradle
worth Rs. 3,500.
