The rugged LG X4+ goes official with Snapdragon 425 CPU, LG Pay support

Despite the fact that LG said it will lay low for a while when it comes to smartphones, the South Korean company continues to introduce new products. However, it's almost certain that we won't be seeing another LG flagship for at least a few months.

That being said, it looks like LG has just introduced a middle-class smartphone on its home turf: the X4+. The smartphone will be available for purchase at all three major carriers in the country for about $280 outright.

The X4+ comes with Android 7.0 Nougat on board, but it's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor, coupled with 2GB RAM and 32GB expandable storage. On the back, there's a 13-megapixel camera, while in the front LG included a secondary 5-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.

LG's new X4+ smartphone sports a 5.3-inch IPS display with HD (720p) resolution and supports the company mobile payment service: LG Pay.

Also, LG X4+ is MIL-STD 810G-rated and it's certified in six categories such as impact, vibration, high temperature, low temperature, thermal shock, and humidity. It's worth mentioning the back of the smartphone is made of aluminum.

LG X4+ offers sound quality close to original sound thanks to the embedded Hi-Fi DAC (digital-analog converter). There's also a fingerprint sensor on the back and a decent 3,000 mAh battery inside.
