Back in February, LG announced the Q60 alongside the K50 and K40 smartphones. The LG Q60 was later rebranded as the LG X6 for its home country in June. The LG Q60 has now made its way to India, nine months after it was first announced.

The LG Q60 (LMX525ZAW) has a price tag of ₹15,000 (~$212), much cheaper than the price in Korea (KRW 349,800/$290).

That price gets you a phone with a 6.26-inch HD+ IPS FullVision display with a U-notch. The LG Q60 packs triple rear cameras – a 5MP 120° Super Wide-Angle Camera, a 16MP main camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The camera app packs features such as AI CAM which brings object recognition and automatically and accurately selects the best settings, Flash Jump Cut, Gesture Shot, and also has a YouTube Live button, so you can begin streaming right away. It has a 13MP selfie camera.

The phone is powered by the Helio P22 chipset and paired with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The LG Q60 is MLT:STD 810G certified, so it will survive high and low temperatures, vibrations and shocks.

The phone has a dedicated Google Assistant button on the left side. You can press once to wake, double press to see your day’s snapshot, and long press to enter Walkie Talkie Google Assistant Input mode. There is also DTS:X 3D Surround Sound.

The phone runs Android 9 with LG UI on top and comes with unique features such as Link Shot – which will let you take a screenshot of a webpage and allow you to jump right back to that webpage anytime when you view the screenshot in your gallery app. There is also Crop Shot which lets you crop part of what is on your screen and pin it to another screen to copy the details you need without the need for switching back and forth.

The LG Q60 has dual SIM support with a dedicated MicroSD card slot. It has a 3500mAh battery and charges via a MicroUSB port. It has OTG support and also an audio jack.

The phone is available in New Morrocan Blue and will be available in offline stores on October 1.

There is also a dedicated Google Assistant button on the side, DAC, DTS:X audio with 7.1 surround sound.

The post The LG X6 is a rebranded LG Q60 for South Korea appeared first on Gizmochina.

LG will announce the LG G8 ThinQ and the V50 ThinQ 5G smartphone at MWC 2019 but before then, the Korean electronics giant has unveiled three new mid-range smartphones. They are the LG Q60, K50, and K40.

LG Q60

The first thing you notice on the LG Q60 are the cameras. It sports triple rear cameras arranged horizontally. The primary camera is a 16MP sensor and it is paired with a 5MP ultra-wide angle lens and a 2MP sensor for depth of field. No surprises there as this is a mid-range device.

The Q60 has a 6.26-inch 19.5:9 FullVision display with a waterdrop notch, a first for LG. Housed within the notch is a 13MP sensor. The display has an HD+ resolution and there is a lower bezel that is far from thin. It is powered by an unnamed 2.0GHz octa-core processor which is paired with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage.

The LG Q60 also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and packs a 3500mAh battery.

LG K50

The LG K50 has the same screen size and display design as the Q60. It is also powered by the same octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Where it differs is in the number of cameras. LG has put just two on the back – a 13MP sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. A fingerprint scanner sits underneath the sensors.

The front camera is also a 13MP sensor in front for selfies and there is a 3,500mAh battery under the hood.

LG K40

The LG K40 comes last. It sports a smaller 5.7-inch HD+ FullVision display with no notch. The K40 also has a single 16MP rear camera and an 8MP selfie camera with its own LED flash.

There is a 2.0GHz quad-core processor under the hood with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. It also packs a smaller 3,000mah battery and a fingerprint scanner.
