LG may not be launching flagship G7 smartphone at upcoming Mobile World Congress, but in addition to the upgraded LG V30, it will launching four mid-range smartphones as well. The South Korean electronics giant just announced 2018 versions of its mid-tier K8 and K10 series. Not much has changed for the 2018 versions of K8 or K10 compared to last year’s models. There’s are subtle design changes and few newer specs, but that’s pretty much it. The smartphones don’t sport the trendy 18:9 screen aspect ratio. LG instead focuses on delivering an improved camera setup with features such as high-speed autofocus and noise reduction for better low light photography.
