LG Candy Smartphone With Dated Android Nougat Launched at Rs 6,999

LG has unveiled its second smartphone in less than a week. After launching the mid-range, LG Q7, the South Korean smartphone company has launched an entry-level smartphone, namely, the LG Candy. The price of the smartphone has been set at Rs 6,999 and it takes on the likes of Xiaomi Redmi 5A and Infinix Smart 2. However, the specifications of the handset are mediocre, especially for the asking price. LG is touting the replaceable back panels as a special feature in the handset, but the real question is, are customers interested in buying a removable back panel smartphone in 2018?
