LG l Bello is the new 5 Inch display Smartphone listed on LG India website for 18,500 INR. The new handset borrows some design cues from high end LG flagships and also flaunts the ‘rear key’, which was until now reserved for high end LG Smartphones.

This design semblance is however skin deep and the guts of LG L Bello are quite modest. To start with, the 5 Inch display features FWVGA (480 X 854) resolution amounting to 196 ppi.

LG is using 1.3 GHz quad core chipset (most likely MediaTek) paired with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB internal storage, similar on paper to numerous other low cost quad core Androids. 32 GB MicroSD expansion is also an option. Imaging hardware includes an 8 MP rear shooter with LED flash, capable of 1080p full HD video recording and a 1 MP front shooter.

Software is Android 4.4.2 Kitkat which will pave way for rich Android experience. The customizations on top also try to replicate LG G3 look and feel while adding some flagship features to the camera app as well (gesture shot, single touch focus and shoot).

Measuring 138.2×70.6×10.7mm, LG l Bello houses a 2450 mAh battery to power all hardware. Other features include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, 3G and USB 2.0.

On the whole LG l Bellow prioritizes build and body design above the rest, which isn’t a bad thing. So in case you are wooed by LG high end design language and are a basic user, you can consider this as your next smartphone.
