New LG K50S and K40S Continue Strategy of Flagship Features with Friendlier Prices
LG Electronics (LG) will unveil its new K50S and K40S smartphones at IFA 2019 in Berlin, Germany to complement its competitive line of attractively-priced smartphones.
These upgraded K series models are equipped with improved cameras, better displays and larger batteries.
Like LG’s flagship G and V series, LG K50S sports three rear cameras: 13MP with PDAF, 5MP Super Wide Angle, and 2MP lens with Depth Sensor. The Depth Sensor produces clearer separation between subject and background when shooting portraits for more realistic depth of field. LG K40S offer two rear cameras: 13MP lens with PDAF and 5MP Super Wide Angle. As the first K series devices to offer Super Wide Angle, both smartphones are designed to shoot large group photos and landscapes. Delivering 13 million pixels with both the front and the rear cameras, scenes and subjects shot with either the LG K50S or LG K40S should look cropped cropped or zoomed in.
These handsets were designed for a gaming and content consumption, boasting displays more typical of premium handsets. The K50S comes with a 6.5-inch FullVision display while the K40S offers an equally generous 6.1-inch HD+ screen. With minimal bezels interrupted only by an attractive, unobtrusive front camera opening, both devices deliver modern styling. In terms of sound, both smartphones deliver dynamic audio with DTS:X 3D Surround Sound.
Both K50S and K40S are to meet the U.S. military MIL-STD-810G standard for durability and come equipped with optimized batteries that ensure lengthy sessions of multimedia enjoyment between charges. And the Google Assistant is only a single button press away.
The new K series will be available in Europe, Latin America and Asia starting this October in two signature colors – New Aurora Black and New Moroccan Blue.
