LG Band Play

The LG Band Play comes with a 1 watt speaker that promises rich and clear sound. To further excite the music lovers, LG has bundled it up with the Quad Beat 3 headset that comes with the LG G4. LG has given the device an interesting “focus mode” which helps improve concentration. What it does is that it turns off your Wi-Fi and data and plays therapy music for you to calm you down. It even turns off your calls and just in case you get a call during the focus mode, it rejects the call and sends back an SMS stating you are busy and will contact later.

It gets a 5-inch display and boots Android 5.1 Lollipop. A Snapdragon 410 chipset ticks inside and it is joined in by 2GB of RAM. Let us quickly go through the specifications of the LG Band Play.
