by
LG X

Very curious the road leading LG with their phones X, a series of devices that are not intended to be the perfect solution for all rather have a demure specifications in some detail that makes them special. It may be the camera, the screen, even the battery.

The Korean company has four new members to the X family, responding to quite descriptive names of their abilities: X power, mach X, X and X max style. Some of its features overlap with high – end phones, those who belong to the families G and V.

Beyond curves and metal, which seems trend now contain both terminals thinness and height.
