LG Will Launch At Least Three Mid-Range Phones In Q Series
It turns out LG Electronics has applied to the Korean Intellectual Property Information Service (KIPRIS) for the Q43, Q63S and Q83 trademarks. The submission date is September 25, 2020. The trademarks are classified as category 9, which includes smartphone products.
In fact, the Q series of smartphones is no longer a new product line under LG. This series is positioned in the mid-range, including its first hole-punch screen Q70 and the Q60 listed in Europe. Both are mid-range products.
I hope LG is planning to launch similar budget smartphones in India as well, as there's a huge demand for non Chinese brands right now! with the processing power of Mediatek's processors, the phones will be durable as well
