After launching two premium offerings, the LG Velvet and LG Wing, in India last week, the Korean giant has today added three new budget-friendly smartphones to its lineup. The W11, W31, and W31 Plus arrive as successors to the company’s existing W-series smartphones, including the W10, W30, and W30 Pro, from last year.
Let me start off by saying that LG W31 and W31 Plus are exactly the same phones. The only difference between them is the storage capacity.
You will also find a 4,000mAh battery (same as last year’s models), possibly with 10W charging in tow. As for connectivity options, there’s dual VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm headphone jack on board as well.
The LG W11 is not much different either. This smartphone boasts the same 6.52-inch HD+ LCD display on the front and the Helio P22 chipset under the hood. The chipset is coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. You also have a 4,000mAh battery onboard. What’s different here? Three things.
LG W11 is priced at Rs. 9,490 for the single 3GB+32GB variant. The W31 and W31 Plus are priced at Rs. 10,990 and Rs. 11,990 in India. All of these smartphones will be available to buy in a single Midnight Blue colorway, starting this November itself. The company hasn’t revealed an official sale date right now.
Though I haven’t used the new LG W-series, I would choose not to recommend these smartphones over Micromax (back with new value-for-money offerings), Redmi, and Realme offerings.
