LG has taken the wraps of a new smartphone – the LG Gentle. The Entry-level device was announced in South Korea where clamshell (flip phones) devices are said to be in high demands. It sells for the equivalent of $171 (200,000 South Korean Won) and would be exclusive to LG U+ in the country starting July 29th.
Moving to the specs, the LG Gentle sports a 3.2-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels and a pixel density of 180ppi. Under the hood, it is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor clocked at 1.1GHz paired with 1GB of RAM and 4GB space of internal storage which is expandable by a microSD card slot.
On the rear, there is a 5MP camera and on the front there is a 0.3MP (VGA) camera for selfies and video chats. Connectivity options on the LG Gentle includes – 4G LTE, Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi. It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop OS and is backed by a 1700mAh battery.
The LG Gentle is the third flip Android Phone from LG and in terms of specs it doesn’t slay at all. The main highlight has to be the fact that it runs Android 5.1 Lollipop OS which is almost a sight for most smartphones launched around this time.
It also has a T9 Keypad and to access frequently used apps there is a dedicated ‘Q’ button. The phone has a soft leather like finish which makes a darling to hold and the available colour options are Brown and Black.
