Five new smartphone models will be revealed at CES.
LG has announced plans to debut four new K Series smartphones at CES 2017. In addition, the company will unveil its new Stylo 3 at the show as well. The upcoming mid-range products are designed to offer many of the same premium technologies found on LG's higher end smartphone models.
"Our 2017 mass-tier, mid-range smartphones focus on giving our customers a wide variety of options and choices for their smartphone lifestyles," said Juno Cho, president of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "What's consistent in all our K Series and Stylus 3 devices is that they look and feel premium, offer replaceable batteries and all come with expandable memory slots – what customers consider key factors when buying smartphones in this category."
The new K Series will feature four models -- the K3, K4, K8, and K10 -- providing different options to match different customer's needs. Screen sizes range from 4.5-inches to 5.3-inches with resolutions ranging from 854 x 480 to 1280 x 720. Meanwhile, the LG Stylo 3 features a 5.7-inch 720p screen and is designed to provide a great note taking experience by simulating the feel of an actual pen with the device's new 1.8mm diameter fiber-tip stylus.
