LG Kicks Off CES with K Series Camera-Focused Phones
LG today announced the K Series, a new range of smartphones that prioritizes advanced photography features. The first two phones in the K Series are the K10 and K7. They offer LG photo tools such as Gesture Shot, Gesture Interval Shot, and Tap and Shot, as well as front-facing flashes for self portraits. The phones introduce new design language LG calls "glossy pebble" in order to attract younger users. The glass panels use what LG terms 2.5D Arc Glass to provide a smooth seam where the glass meets the side edge of the phone.
