While most manufacturers seem to have packed up shop ahead of the Holiday season, LG is still going strong with another announcement, today announcing the global availability of its all-metal LG Zero. which was announced in South Korea in September. The Zero’s primary selling point is the fact that while it possesses mid-range specs, it includes the camera and user experience of LG’s flagship range, the LG G series – and of course, for fans of metal smartphones, the Zero includes an aluminium body as well. While that might not sound like a big deal, some of LG’s camera features are very handy and its camera performance has proven to be very decent, if not brilliant, so providing these features at a fair price might just be what the doctor ordered.
Here are the full specifications as detailed by LG:
- Display: 5.0-inch HD In-cell Touch (1280 x 720, 294ppi)
- Chipset: 1.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
- Camera: Rear 13MP / Front 8MP
- Memory: 1.5GB LPDDR3 RAM / 16GB eMMC ROM / MicroSD
- Battery: 2,050mAh
- Operating System: Android 5.1 Lollipop
- Size: 142 x 71.8 x 7.4mm
- Weight: 147g
- Network: LTE / HSPA+ / GSM
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b, g, n / Bluetooth 4.1 / USB 2.0
- Colors: Silver / Gold
While the specs aren’t anything unexpected, it’s surprising that LG is releasing the Zero with Android Lollipop while comparable devices like the HTC One A9 were released with Android Marshmallow weeks ago.
LG says that the availability of the Zero will start in Taiwan this week with roll-out in Asia, Europe and Latin America to follow after that. What do you think about the all-metal LG Zero? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
