Metal-made LG Class launched in Europe as the LG Zero

Announced and released in South Korea in September, the LG Class is now also available in Europe, but under a different name: LG Zero. At the moment, the LG Zero can be purchased only in Italy, but we assume that the handset will soon be launched in other markets.

Unlike most of LG's smartphones, the Zero / Class is made out of metal (aluminum). However, it's far from being a high-end smartphone, and this is obvious if we look at its 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, or at its quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor. The new smartphone runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, further featuring LTE connectivity, a 13 MP rear camera, an 8 MP front-facing camera, 16 GB of expandable internal memory, and a 2050 mAh battery. While the LG Class that's sold in Korea has 2 GB of RAM, the LG Zero only comes with 1.5 GB. Customers in Italy can buy the new LG smartphone unlocked for €299 (about $320).

AT&T will reportedly release the LG Class in the US, but for now there's no official confirmation about this. Would you buy the new LG handset?
