The ill-fated MWC in Barcelona was going to show us the full power of the industry with many of the most interesting high-end of the year. But there was also room for the entry range. Now, LG has announced what was possibly the cheapest mobile we had seen in its stand. The new LG W10 Alpha comes with very modest technical specifications and an appropriate price.
The new LG W10 Alpha is a new member of the W family, which the Koreans presented last year and which has the W10, W20 and W30 on the market. This new W10 Alpha is presented as the most economical option of all. Everything seems to indicate that LG’s strategy is to place this device at the height of the Galaxy A10, Xiaomi Redmi 8A and other input range terminals that manage to start a good handful of sales.

An atypical processor
Its screen is 5.71 inches and has HD + resolution , as well as an aspect ratio of 19: 9. The device is not precisely thin with its 8.9 millimeters, reaching 170 grams. Under the hood we find an input range processor, signed by Spreadtrum. Specifically it is the SC9863, which works with eight cores at 1.6 Ghz. It comes accompanied by 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory expandable up to 128 GB via microSD cards.
Modest cameras
In the section of the cameras, the configuration could not be more modest, with a classic arrangement of a single sensor of 8 megapixels in the rear, and another 8 megapixels in the front. This selfie sensor arrives inside a “notch” in the form of a drop. The device is compatible with the main connections, including Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, although its connector is microUSB.
Android battery and version
We see that the LG W10 Alpha arrives with Android 9 Pie, possibly the result of the modest of its processor, and without upgrade visions close to Android 10. Its battery reaches 3,450 mAh and does not have any type of fast charge. However you may integrate this list of cheap phones with good battery.
Price and date of sale
This LG W10 Alpha will go on sale in India in black and blue colors at a price of 9,999 rupees, which means about 130 euros to change. At the moment we do not know LG’s plans for international marketing, including our market.
