LG Electronics has quietly listed up its latest budget X-series smartphone – the LG X5 (2018), almost two years after the original X5 made its debut. It is currently available only in South Korea via the three major carriers – SKT, KT and LG U+ for a price tag of KRW 363,000 (~ USD 330).
The LG X5 (2018) is backed by a massive 4,500mAh Battery (non-removable) which is expected to last more than a day of mixed usage. It sports a more classic polycarbonate body design, the same 5.5-inch 16:9 IPS LCD display with (1280 x 720 pixels) HD resolution, measures 154.7 x 78.1 x 8.9 mm and weighs 177 grams.
The smartphone relies on the Mediatek’s MT6750 octa-core 1.5GHz processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB built-in storage (expandable via microSD card). For photography, it maintains the same 13MP camera with soft LED flash and front 5MP super wide angle camera for selfies.
The LG X5 (2018) comes pre-loaded with Android 8.0 Oreo OS and supports 4G LTE (Cat. 4) connectivity as well as LG Pay. It also features a rear fingerprint sensor, GPS, 3.5mm headphone port and micro USB port. It is available in Moroccan Blue colour option only.
