LG Electronics revealed images of "Q6", the cheaper and smaller brother of its latest flagship G6, saying it would be available for purchase in August.
LG said that Q6, the first model for LG's new budget smartphone lineup "Q", would be priced at around 500,000 won (435 US dollars). Its images were unveiled through Smart World, the website for LG smartphones and accessories. Unlike G6 with a dual-lens camera, Q6 had a single-lens camera and missed a fingerprint scanner. The company did not disclose exact specs.
Previously, Evan Bliss, a Twitter user famous for accurate predictions on new smart devices, suggested Q6 would be fitted with a single 13-megapixel camera and a 4GB ram. Other sources suggested the size of Q6 would be fitted with a 5.4-inch display.
Users of the online community, Clien, largely praised LG's reverse movement against the world trend of large smartphones. But some pointed out Q6 would be fitted with Snapdragon 430 that's a generation or two behind the current processors, sparking concerns that it may be too slow for actual usage.
