These Ecenomical LG 'K Series' Smartphones Were Unveiled at CES 2016

— January 6, 2016 — Tech
LG's K Series smartphones are designed to function as a more affordable phone option, while still retaining the design features found in other high-end devices.

These budget-friendly smartphones, the 5.3-inch K10 and the lower end 5-inch K7, each feature a smooth glass front with a woven pattern design on the back. Each phone is also available in either 3G or LTE connectivity, and features a front and rear facing camera of varying quality depending on the model.

The camera aspect of the K series is also enhanced with a gesture mode that allows users to take selfies by closing their fist in front of the camera. Although LG has yet to release the price points for these devices at CES 2016, it promises the design will make the phones appear much more exclusive than their actual cost.
