LG announced X cam and X screen smartphones in the new X series, ahead of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month. Today the company has announced that it will start rolling out both these smartphones starting from Korea this week.
As we already know, the X cam sports 13-megapixel and 5-megapixel, dual rear cameras and promises one of the most advanced camera experience in a mass-tier smartphone, while the X screen features 1.76-inch ‘Always-on’ second screen, in addition to 4.93-inch HD In-cell Touch display. This will allow users to easily access frequently used apps, answer calls without interrupting the current activity or just play music.
