From PC World: LG Electronics has announced four new smartphones, including the Magna. The device has a spec that gives Motorola Mobility’s Moto G a run for its money, assuming LG doesn’t screw up the pricing too much.
Motorola has had the market for unlocked smartphones costing US$200 or less largely to itself in the U.S. and Europe, helping it regain its footing with the Moto G and the Moto E. But it seems the now Lenovo-owned company will face some tougher competition this year from products like the LG Magna.
The Lollipop-based smartphone has a 5-inch, 720 x 1280-pixel screen and an unspecified 1.2GHz or 1.3GHz quad-core processor. The Magna also has an 8-megapixel front camera and a 5-megapixel camera on the back. There’s 1GB of RAM and 8GB of integrated storage backed up by a microSD card slot.
With the exception of the high-resolution camera on the back, the specification mimics what you get when you buy the second generation Moto G, which Motorola launched last year. However, the Magna also has a larger battery (2,540 mAh versus the Moto G’s 2,070 mAh) and LTE, features that Motorola offers on a $300, 16GB second-generation Moto G sold in Brazil.
