No more leather , No more plastic . LG has finally created a full- metal smartphone . It's a few years late to the party but it could have been worth the wait, as the LG Zero is absolutely gorgeous, with a slim 7.4mm thick build and a silver or gold color.
It also has many of the things we’ve come to love about LG, like gesture controls for the camera and rear keys.
If there’s any disappointment to the LG Zero it’s that it’s not the flagship it looks, as its specs include a 5.0-inch 720p screen, a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.
But there is at least a microSD card slot and the camera is set to impress, as there’s a 13MP snapper on the back and an 8MP one on the front. Rounding out the specs there’s a 2,050 mAh battery and Android 5.1 on board.
So the LG Zero is mid-range at best, but not being high-end means you won’t have to spend so much to get your hands on it, though we do hope LG builds on what it’s done with the LG Zero for its next flagship. An all-metal LG G5 could really challenge 2016’s heavyweights.
The price and exact release date of the LG Zero haven’t yet been confirmed, but we imagine we’ll see it within the next few months and given the specs it will almost certainly land
