LG's trio of new budget phones shines in blue

Though announced a week before the show began, LG's newest line of midrange phones made the first public appearance at MWC 2019. From left to right, the K40, K50 and Q60 are affordable handsets with fingerprint readers and dedicated Google Assistant buttons.

As the most advanced of the trio, the Q60 has a 6.26-inch display and a 2GHz octa-core processor.

It features a 3,500mAh battery and three rear cameras as well.

The camera setup includes a 16-megapixel standard lens, a 5-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The phone also features "AI Cam," an AI software mode from LG that offers more camera features for users to fool around with.

On the bottom, there's a USB Type-C port for charging and file transferring, as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The dedicated Google Assistant button that sits beneath the volume rocker.

Both the Q60 and the K50 have teardrop notches on their displays. On the front is a 13-megapixel camera.

Another look at the LG Q60.

Similar to the Q60, the K50 has a 6.26-inch display.

However, it only has dual rear cameras.

On the back is a 13-megapixel standard camera and a 2-megapixel shooter for sensing depth.

The front holds a 13-megapixel camera.

The K50 runs Google's latest mobile OS, Android 9.0 Pie.

The last of the bunch is the LG K40, a lower-range phone with a smaller 5.7-inch screen and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera.

On its rear, it has a single 16-megapixel camera. However, like the Q60 and K50, its camera also has "AI Cam." 

Below the camera is a fingerprint sensor. The phone is also powered by a 3,000mAh battery and an octa-core processor.

Unfortunately, LG has not released any pricing or availability info for these phones.
