LG just ahead of the MWC 2015 trade show in Barcelona, has launched four new Android 5.0 Lollipop-based smartphones - the LG Magna, LG Spirit, LG Leon and the LG Joy. The firm will be showcasing the mid-range smartphones at MWC and will start the global rollout from this week in select markets. The availability of LTE Cat. 4 and 3G variants will vary as per the market. Prices of the smartphones have not yet been disclosed.

The South Korean smartphone maker says that these mid-tier handsets carry the "premium design elements and user experience" which until now have only been seen in the company's premium smartphones, with features such as Gesture Shot and Glance View. Out of the four, LG Magna and LG Spirit both feature slightly curved (3000mm radius) displays, apart from a gentle curve for easy gripping. It further mentioned that the LTE Cat. 4 and 3G versions of the four smartphones will feature metallic and plastic builds respectively.

It will come in two processor variants based on the market - 1.2GHz quad-core processor or 1.3GHz quad-core processor, coupled with 1GB of RAM. Other specifications include 8-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel front-facing camera, 8GB of inbuilt storage, and 2540mAh battery capacity. The smartphone measures 139.7x69.9x10.2mm.

While the handset features an 8-megapixel rear camera, the front-facing camera comes in two options - 5-megapixel and 1-megapixel. The handset measures 133.3x66.1x9.9mm and is backed by a 2100mAh battery.
