LG on Wednesday launched a new K-Series smartphone in India, as it had announced earlier this week. While the LG K3 (2017) and LG K4 (2017) were expected to launch, the company has launched a brand new phone instead - the LG K7i.
The biggest highlight of the smartphone is its 'Mosquito Away'
technology. The LG K7i comes with an additional rear cover bundled in
the box that can be placed on the phone when required - it features a
speaker that produces ultrasonic frequencies said to drive mosquitoes
away. The smartphone is otherwise a budget offering, and runs Android
Marshmallow. The LG K7i was launched at the side-lines of Day 1 of the
India Mobile Congress, being held in New Delhi.
LG K7i price in India
The
LG K7i price in India is Rs. 7,990, and the smartphone will be
available across retail outlets in the country. The company has not
detailed any launch offers for the smartphone, which will be made
available in its Brown colour variant in India. Commenting on the
launch, Amit Gujral, Chief Marketing Officer, LG Electronics India, said
"LG has always been at the forefront of unique innovations. With this
launch, LG is
bringing the mosquito away technology closer to the consumers in the
form of a mobile device which can be an integral part of their daily
lives."
LG K7i specifications, features
As we mentioned, the
highlight feature of the LG K7i is its Mosquito Away technology, which
uses 30KHz ultrasonic sound waves - said to be harmless to humans - to
drive away mosquitoes. The company adds the smartphone has no "harmful
chemicals", and neither were any used in developing it. The technology,
which is enabled by the speaker on the additional rear cover, does not
require any refills, LG adds. The smartphone can be placed on a stand
when the mosquito repellent is activated, as seen below.
As for
the LG K7i specifications, the dual-SIM smartphone runs Android 6.0
Marshmallow. It sports a 5-inch OnCell display, and is powered by an
unspecified quad core processor coupled with 2GB of RAM.
The LG K7i has an 8-megapixel rear camera, and a 5-megapixel front
camera. It comes with 16GB of inbuilt storage, expandable via microSD
card. It features 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.1,
Micro-USB, FM radio, and 3.5mm audio jack as connectivity options. It
runs on a 2500mAh battery, measures 144.7x72.6x8.1mm, and weighs 138
grams
