LG unveils new hybrid smartphones


Electronics giant LG has announced the arrival of two new smart phone handsets to the market.

The GT505 and GW520, which are semi-smart handsets, both feature touchscreen technology but differ in a variety of ways.

The GW520 will offer a 2.8 inch screen, three megapixel camera, 7.2mbps HSDPA connection and a pull-out qwerty keyboard, while the GT505 will feature a 3 inch screen, five megapixel camera and WiFi.

Head of UK marketing for LG mobile Jeremy Newing said: "[Consumers] want the kind of messaging and social networking features previously the preserve of high-end handsets on a wide range of models and that is what LG is offering. We recognise the demand for mobile devices that enable quick and easy interaction with social network sites as a growing market."

Both of the new handsets will be compatible to receive updates from the most popular social networking sites straight out of the box.<br/>
