LG L80 Officially Introduced in Indonesia

Yesterday, we reported that a brand new L Series III smartphone leaked ahead of its official launch, the L80 dual. The smartphone was spotted in Russia, where it is set to arrive in late May for an unknown price.

However, it looks like LG has officially introduced the L80 in Indonesia several hours after the smartphone’s leak in Russia. This time, we have more details on the phone’s price tag and specs sheet. According to GSMArena, the LG L80 will be available for purchase in Indonesia soon for only IDR 2,500,000 outright, which is about €155 or $215. Although no exact release date has been confirmed, we can safely assume that the smartphone will go on sale next month. The LG L80 will be available in two variants, single SIM and dual SIM. Depending on the region, Android fans will be able to get one or the other. For example, customers in Russia will be offered the dual-SIM model, along with those in Indonesia, but in various European countries, the LG L80 might only be available in the single-SIM version.

What’s important is the fact that aside from that, both variants are similar when it comes to hardware and software configuration. This means that customers will be able to purchase a cheap smartphone that will come with Android 4.4.2 KitKat and all the exclusive LG features, like Knock Code, QSlide and so on. On the inside, the LG L80 packs a 1.2Hz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM, which should be enough to run most of the apps and games in the Google Play Store with some exceptions.

On the back, the mid-range Android smartphone packs a 5-megapixel photo snapper with LED flash and video recording, while in the front, there’s a secondary camera for video calls. Connectivity-wise, LG L80 offers 3G with HSPA on SIM 1 (on the dual-SIM version) and EDGE on SIM 2. In addition, the device comes with Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, GPS with A-GPS support and FM Radio. It is also worth mentioning that the L80 only packs 4GB of internal memory, which is why those who decide to go for it should take into consideration acquiring an additional microSD memory card (up to 32GB). LG Indonesia has also confirmed that the smartphone will be powered by a generous 2540 mAh battery, which has yet to be rated. Last but not least, LG L80 sports a larger 5-inch WVGA IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display that supports 480 x 800 pixels resolution.
