The smartphone range consists of three models in total including the K61, the K51S and the K41S, which are all characterized by a [4,000mAh battery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivo-v50) and a quad lens camera system. The devices each offer DTS:X 3D Surround Sound for headphones, a rear fingerprint sensor and an expansive 6.5-inch display that promises to deliver crisp image quality. The LG K Series smartphones are set to go on sale starting in Q2 of 2020 with a price point that's yet to be announced, but likely to be somewhere just below the flagship models from the brand.
