The device also has a microSD card slot, a 2,300mAh battery, and Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box.
The phone's camera department is composed of a 13MP primary camera and a 5MP front shooter to cater to selfie enthusiasts. Other features of the LG Band Play include a set of 1W speakers, and interestingly a 'focus' feature that enables the phone to cut off any mobile or Internet signals.
In the report, the new LG smartphone costs about KRW 394,800 or about $356.
Aside from the handset, LG is also expected to make some announcements of new devices in the coming months, particularly in the third quarter. Last year, the Korean manufacturer announced the LG G3 earlier, and so it did not have any 'major' releases later that year.
However, this time around, a rumored LG phablet is reportedly under way.
