The phone has a Snapdragon 210 1.1GHz Quad Core chip at its heart, along with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of Internal storage (and external storage upto 32GB supported). It also has a 4.5 inch FWVGA IPS display running at a measly 854 x 480. Coming to its camera, the phone has a 5MP rear camera and a VGA front shooter. Powering the phone is a 1940 mAh Battery.

However, it is priced at only $80(approx Rs.5000) the phone is aimed at those with low budgets, and it supports 4G/LTE. Although, there has been no word about an India launch yet, we can probably expect it to launch here in the months to come. This is because the sub-$100 smartphones usually do better in India, than overseas.

Earlier this year, LG unveiled the K7 and K10 in the K-Series phones. These are the company's first made-in-India smartphones. Recently, LG also announced, the X-series phones with four new phones. The LG G5, the world's first modular smartphone was also launched in India recently.
