The LG Max , the South Korean consumer
electronics giant's new mid-range 3G
smartphone, as promised by the firm has
reached Indian shores. The smartphone
is priced at Rs. 10,990 for its dual-SIM
variant, and is already available in
stores. It is worth noting that the handset
was introduced by LG by the moniker -
Bello II. The company added that the
smartphone would be called LG Prime II
in Brazil and Chile. The single-SIM
variant is not being launched in India.
The smartphone is powered by a 1.3GHz
quad-core processor and features a 5-
inch FWVGA (480x854 pixels) display.
The LG Max comes with 1GB of RAM and
packs 8GB of built-in storage with
microSD card support.
The smartphone features an 8-megapixel
rear camera while there is a 5-megapixel
front-facing camera. It sports some selfie
features such as Gesture Shot and Selfie
Flash, already seen on the company's G
Series. Gesture Shot allows users to take
selfies without pressing any buttons
(click via opening and closing a hand in
front of the front camera), and Selfie
Flash turns the phone's display into a
soft flash for portraits.
The Android 5.1.1 Lollipop-based
smartphone comes with 3G connectivity
support with HSPA+ (speed up to
21Mbps). Other connectivity options
include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth
4.0, A-GPS, and Micro-USB. The handset
packs a 2540mAh removable battery. It
measures 140.8x71.6x9.6mm and
weighs 155 grams. The smartphone will
be available in White, Titan, and Gold
colours.
"Most of the people who use Internet on
smartphones use 3G services as 4G is
still at a nascent stage in our country.
Keeping this in mind, LG has launched
LG Max as we are sure that this
smartphone will offer unprecedented
value to 3G consumers. This smartphone
offers great balance of form, function
and price and we expect it to be even
more successful than its predecessor,"
said Amit Gujral, Marketing head, LG
Mobiles India, during the launch.
