While the K Series is technically categorized as a budget-friendly device, the design that they new phones will come in somehow places it along the lines of expensive and exclusive handsets.

Aside from the pebble design, the K Series will also have a complimenting 2.5 D Arc Glass that should account for a smooth and seamless style. The back portion of the device will feature a woven pattern for easier handling as detailed by Android Authority.

Leading the pack of features the LG K Series include LG’s Gesture Shot and Gesture Interval Shot which should make taking selfies easy and hassle-free.

Gesture Shot enables users to take photos simply by raising an open hand in front of the lens and then clenching it into a fist
