The new LG AKA phones come in four different colors plus a personality that's just as vibrant and unique. The Yoyo, Soul, Wooky and Eggy phones are being promoted alongside cartoony characters of the same names that help to distinguish one from another. Although the phones are being released in Korea, no matter what language you speak it's apparent that Yoyo was designed to be the girly option, while Eggy definitely has an edge.
Each of the characters comes with a full backstory and can often be found carrying a few of their favorite items. One neat thing about these cartoony phones is that if you can't settle on just one cute character, you're able to swap out the phone case for another and as a result, an embedded chip will change the eyes displayed on the phone to match the corresponding phone case.
