LG has unveiled its new flip phone, dubbed the LG Wine Smart. The device is essentially the international variant of the LG Gentle phone which was launched in July 2015 in Korea. According to LG, the Wine Smart flip phone is targeted towards those users who are “more accustomed to the feel of flip.”
Under the hood, the device is powered by a 1.1GHz quad-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM. The phone runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system and features a 3.2-inch HVGA display with 480×320 pixels resolution. There is 4GB of inbuilt storage which is expandable via microSD card. It sports a 3 mega pixel rear camera and a 0.3 mega pixel front facing camera.
Backed up by a 1700mAh battery, it measures 117.7×58.7×16.6 mm in dimensions and weighs 143 grams. Connectivity options include 4G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It will be available in Burgundy and Navy color options.
