Following the launch of its Velvet 5G smartphone, the South Korean company has followed up the launch with a more affordable option – the LG Q92 5G in South Korea. It also launched a mid-tier device in the K series line-up – the LG K31 to follow the launch of the Velvet in the US.
Like the Velvet, the LG Q92 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G mobile platform for dual mode 5G (SA/NSA) connectivity while the K31 is based on the less powerful MediaTek Helio P22 processor. Both models have a single front camera in the notch (32MP and 5MP respectively), multiple rear cameras, microSD card slot, fingerprint sensor and come preloaded with Android 10.
