LG K Series Smartphones: LG as announced that it will showcase five new smartphones at the CES Event 2017. This announcement comes even when the CES 2017 is just days away. The four smartphones out of five will belong to its K-series and one new smartphone will be the LG Stylus 3. The new smartphones in the K-series are the K3, K4, K8 and K10.
The smartphones come with a similar set of specifications but are targeted at different price points in the mid-range categories. While the smartphones will be showcased at the CES, the company hasn’t revealed the final prices and availability of the devices in global markets.
The company issued a statement saying that “LG’s updated K Series carries over the original philosophy that all customers do not want the same things in a smartphone. Rather than offering one main smartphone model and expecting customers to adapt, the K Series was designed with the diverse needs of consumers in mind.”
