LG launches AKA phones with mood faces

South Korean consumer electronics giant LG has launched a new handset for youth called ‘LG AKA’. Though pricing and availability of the new phone outside South Korea are not immediately known, the company has provided the specs of the new handset.



As per the firm's blog post on its social website, some of the features of the Android 4.4 KitKat-based LG AKA are 5-inch IPS display with HD (720x1280 pixels) resolution, quad-core 1.2GHz processor with 1.5GB RAM, 8-MP rear and 2.1MP front-facing cameras and 16GB inbuilt storage with microSD card expandability. 

Available in four different cover cases (yellow, white, blue and pink), they partially bar the display area and provide animated eyes on the screen. The available portion tells about the battery status and notification details to users. Company sources said, all the four cases portray different-styled eyes depicting different moods.

Powered by a 2610mAh battery, the handset weighs 135.5 grams and has connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.0, 4G LTE, AGPS, NFC, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPS and USB 2.0.

LG KizON wristband to track children

In the blog post LG also claimed that it has started rolling out KizON wristband across Europe. KizON is a device designed for parents to help track their primary and pre-school children. The wearable band was launched in July targeting only customers across South Korea. 
The company, in its third quarter review notification, announced introducing KizON to European and North American countries. The price details, the company said, would be announced locally.
