LG releases Metallic version of the G4 in India for Rs 40,990

The LG G4 can be currently purchased in India for about Rs 42,000. The manufacturer has now released the new Metallic version of the smartphone in the country with a price tag of Rs 40,990, which is quite decent considering how some variants of the standard LG G4 are still selling for Rs 42,000 and above. Although it seems a touch expensive, the pricing has come down significantly since it was released back in June for Rs 51,000.

The handset is no different from the leather variant in terms of internal hardware, so you will only notice a change in the appearance. Users will be able to pick from Titanium Black and Gold color options.

As far as we can tell, these new LG G4 models should be available from the same retail channels as the standard versions, so you should be able to walk into a store and check them out.

Hardware specifications of the LG G4:

· 5.5-inch Quad HD (2560x1440) display · 9.8mm thickness · 155 grams · Hexa core Snapdragon 808 processor · 16MP rear camera, 8MP front camera · 3GB RAM · 32GB storage (expandable via microSD) · Android 5.1 Lollipop · 3,000 mAh battery · 4G LTE

Deepak Jasrotia, Business Head, LG Mobiles India, said, "We have always believed in offering only those products to our consumers that complement their style in making a statement. The G4's leather back was a step in that direction and we've taken it to the next step with this metallic variant of G4. The G4 is our most ambitious product of 2015 and we hope the consumers will continue to show their love for this smartphone, now in an all-new metallic avatar.
