LG keeps the curves coming with Magna and Spirit phones (hands-on)

 

It seems as if these days, LG smartphones are all about curve. Following the launch of its high-end G Flex 2, LG announced its new Magna and Spirit devices. Sporting curved displays (that bend much more subtly than the G Flex 2), both handsets were showcased at MWC 2015 this week, along with two other LG phones.

The Magna and Spirit replace LG’s F-series of premium midrange devices, and they have arched touchscreens that bend at 1/4 the curvature of the G Flex 2. Due to the subtlety of the curve, it’s quite hard to notice the bowed shape at first glance. During my brief time with it, I was able to see the arcs only when I placed the handsets face-down on a flat surface.

 

 

Both phones run Android 5.0 Lollipop and have different features depending on your availability. They can either have a quad-core 1.2GHz or 1.3GHz processor, and either a 5- or 8-megapixel rear-facing camera.
