LG has introduced a new smartphone called LG X500. It is said to be Korean edition of the LG X Power2 that was announced in February this year through the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 event. The LG x power 2 came with a massive battery of 4,500mAh capacity. The LG X500 also features a same-sized mammoth battery.

The LG X500 has a 5.5-inch screen that produces a HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. It features a LED enabled 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel wide angle lens with LED flash for snapping selfies. Its 4,500mAh battery can gain to 50 percent by charging it only for 30 minutes. The company claims users can enjoy watching videos for 20 hours without charging.

It is priced at 319,000 KRW (~$285) and it will be in South Korea through its three leading carriers starting from June 9. SK Telecom users will be coming with LG X500 with model number LGM-X320S and KT users will be getting LG X500 with model number LGM-X320K. And, the LGM-X320L model will be coming to LG U+ users. It would be selling in color choices like Navy Blue and Gold.

Since it is a Korean variant of X Power2, it could be driven by MediaTek MT6750 SoC. The SoC will be coupled with 2 GB of RAM. It will be running on Android 7.0 Nougat OS. The X Power 2 has an internal storage of 16 GB, but the X500 may include a huge battery of 32 GB.

Korean electronics giant LG has quietly unveiled a smartphone but this isn’t the much-expected G6. The smartphone somehow deflects attention from expected flagship which would be launched in a few days time. The time around, the LG X Power 2 (specs) is the device launched and it is a successor to the X Power. It could be recalled that LG launched the X Power around this time last year but the display and battery sizes are smaller than the new model.

The LG X Power 2 this time around, lives up to its name by packing a large 4500mAh battery under its hood. The X Power 2’s battery is touted to last all weekend without recharging and as capable of providing up to 15 hours of video play, navigational directions for 14 hours, and about 18 hours of web browsing on a single charge. Even when the battery gets drained, there is fast charging support such that it can get fully charged in just 2 hours.

In other specs, the LG X Power 2 sports a 5.5-inch HD In-cell touch display and is powered by an unknown chip model which is an octa-core chip with 1.5GHz frequency. The processor is supported by 2GB of RAM of which 1.5GB is available, while there is 16GB of storage which is expandable up to 2TB via microSD.

On the camera end, LG has crammed a capable 13MP sensor on the rear camera with wide angle view and LED flash. While on the front aspect, there is an ample 5MP sensor for selfies. The X Power 2 runs on Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box and features a host of network/connectivity features like Wi-Fi (802.11 b, g, n), Bluetooth 4.2, USB 2.0, 4G LTE, 3G, 2G etc. The entire device has a dimension of 154.7 x 78.1 x 8.4mm and weighs 164g.
