LG has launched a new mid-range smartphone, the Bello II targeted at
smartphone buyers in 3G markets. The company touts that the LG Bello II
is the successor to the
LG L Bello, which was
launched last year and
features upgraded specifications.
The LG Bello II will be launching in
Latin America and India this month. The smartphone will be rolled out
in Europe and CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) in the third
quarter. The company notes that the LG Bello II will be launching in
Brazil and Chile as LG Prime II while in the Indian market as well as
Mexico and CIS the smartphone will be called LG Max. The company said
that the price of the handset and additional availability details will
be announced locally at the time of launch.
The smartphone will be
available in single and dual-SIM variants, according to LG. The Bello
II aka LG Max is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor and features a
5-inch FWVGA (480x854 pixels) display. The smartphone comes with 1GB of
RAM and packs 8GB of built-in storage with microSD card support.

The
smartphone features an 8-megapixel rear camera while there is a
5-megapixel front-facing camera. The LG Bello II sports some selfie
features such as Gesture Shot and Selfie Flash, already seen on the
company's G Series. Gesture Shot allows users to take selfies without
pressing any buttons (click via opening and closing a hand in front of
the front camera), and Selfie Flash turns the phone's display into a
soft flash for portraits.
The Android 5.1.1 Lollipop-based
smartphone comes with 3G connectivity support with HSPA+ (speed up to
21Mbps). Other connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n,
Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS, and Micro-USB. The handset packs 2540mAh removable
battery. It measures 140.8x71.6x9.6mm and weighs 155 grams. The
smartphone will be available in White, Titan, and Gold colours.
Commenting
on the launch, Juno Cho, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile
Communications Company said, "The LG Bello II brings unprecedented value
to 3G markets, which still account for a significant 40 percent of
smartphone markets. With its 5-megapixel selfie camera, large display
and familiar features, the LG Bello II is a great balance of form,
function and price, which is why we expect to be even more successful
than its predecessor."
