The LG Magna is the second device from the company’s new affordable smartphone series to reach India and the phone carries a price of Rs 16500. For that amount, you’d expect a top-tier mid-range phone which is exactly what the handset in question is not and that’s a big concern.
The LG Magna offers basic hardware, but it does have a couple of upsides. Firstly, the phone is powered by Android 5.0 Lollipop and is also accompanied by many enhancements exclusive from the company. Then there’s a 2540mAh battery onboard too, which should be more than capable of delivering an entire day’s worth of heavy usage.
The LG smartphone is also decently designed as it flaunts the same premium form factor as last year’s flagship. Also, the company has added a gentle curve to the phone’s body for a more unique look. On the front, there’s a 5MP selfie shooter and a 5-inch 720p HD IPS LCD touchscreen. The rear, on the other hand, has the volume keys and an 8MP camera with an LED flash.

The Magna isn’t all that impressive on the inside. It has a 1.3GHz quad core processor delivering the steam and memory needs are taken care of by 1GB RAM and 8GB of expandable storage. The phone skips on dual SIM support, but offers HSPA+ connectivity. It’s bundled with a Quick Circle Cover for free.
