LG can’t wait for MWC 2015, decides to reveal its four new smartphones early

LG's got four new Android phones to show us at MWC 2015, but rather than make us wait to see them until our feet touch the ground in Barcelona, LG's just going to go ahead and announce them tonight.

LG's four new mid-range Android phones are the Magna, Spirit, Leon, and Joy. They range in screen size from 5 inches down to 4, support 4G LTE, and include some special LG UX features like Glance View, which will let you see important info like the time and new messages by swiping down on the display, even if its off. Here's how the specs for all four phones break down:

There are a few other details worth noting about these new LG phones. For example, several of them incorporate LG's rear button setup. The Magna and Spirit also have a "gently curved design" that help them better fit in your hand as well as In-Cell Touch that helps to make the phones slimmer, minimizes bezels, and offers faster touch recognition.

LG hasn't said how much the Magna, Spirit, Leon, or Joy will cost, but considering their specs, it's unlikely that they'll be too pricey. Overall they look like some respectable mid-range smartphones that offer features that've trickled down from LG's flagship phones, but at below-flagship prices.
