LG has announced K50s and K40s smartphones in the K
series ahead of IFA 2019, after the K50 and K40 were introduced at the MWC
earlier this year. These phones have a 19.5:9 aspect ratio HD+ FullVision
Display, are MIL-STD-810G compliant that can withstand impact, vibration, high
temperature, low temperature, thermal shock, and humidity, are powered by 2GHz
Octa-Core SoC, feature rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and have a dedicated
Google Assistant button.
The LG K50S sports three rear cameras: 13MP with
PDAF, 5MP Super Wide Angle, and 2MP lens with Depth Sensor, while the LG K40S
has 13MP lens with PDAF and 5MP Super Wide Angle. These also have a 13-megapixel front camera.
These have 4,000mAh and 3,500mAh batteries, respectively, slightly bigger than

These have DTS:X 3D Surround Sound that simulates a
7.1-channel surround sound system to make any content more immersive when
playing games, streaming movies or music via earphones.
