LG may have detailed the phones, but it is keeping prices, release dates, and locations all under the wraps until CES starts early in 2017. Rumors put the release dates in January. We will be at the show, and will update you here when we get all the news.

According to analyses done by Counterpoint Research, LG smartphones shipment declined 1.4 million in the 3rd quarter this year compared to last year.

Since the major high-end smartphone market is largely occupied by Apple and Samsung Electronics. LG has decided to play in mid-priced smartphone market space, which could help it increase the sales in the industry.
