LG unveils the G4 Beat with a Snapdragon 615 SoC

Earlier today, LG took the wraps off its latest mid-range smartphone, the G4 Beat. The handset fits neatly into its ‘G4′ lineup, sporting the same design as the company’s flagship handset.

In terms of specifications, the G4 Beat packs a 5.2-inch Full HD display, a Snapdragon 615 chipset, 1.5GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable internal storage, an 8-megapixel front-facing camera and 5-megapixel front-facing shooter.

The device will run the latest build of Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with LG’s UX 4.0 custom user interface plastered over the top straight out of the box. It will also support 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC and GPS.

The G4 Beat is set to hit the shelves across Europe and Latin America first where it will be available in Metallic Silver, Ceramic White and Shiny Gold colorways. Following a successful launch in these regions, it will reach Canada, India, Russia, Singapore, South Africa and Turkey.

Unfortunately, right now, there’s no official word on pricing, but we expect the handset to retail somewhere in the region of $300 (€270).
