LG to release new K series phones

LG Electronics has declared a fresh spin on their K series phones, with updates to the cameras and performance. The three phones come with “advanced technologies and competitive pricing,” Chang Ma, SVP of LG’s product strategy group, said recently. The LG K61, K51S and K41S will be launched in the second quarter in the US, and later in Europe and Asia, it is not yet clear about the release dates for Africa.
