Also in common between all devices is the DTS:X 3D Surround Sound system that "convincingly simulates" a 7.1-channel surround sound system to create an immersive audio experience. Likewise, each has a fingerprint sensor mounted on the back.

So far, no release dates or pricing for the phones have been announced, but the devices will officially be revealed at the Mobile World Congress next week where we can expect to see this kind of information. On the bright side, LG did state that the mid-range handsets "won't break the bank" and have been designed for those "who traditionally had to settle for less."
