LG is one of the brands present at IFA 2019 in Berlin. In its presentation event, the Korean manufacturer has left us with several novelties. Among them they have presented their new mid-range phones. These are the LG K40s and LG K50s, which already had a presentation in Asia a week ago, but now they are introduced to the European market with this presentation in the German capital.
Its mid-range is renewed with these two phones. The LG K40s and K50s are aimed at a better multimedia experience, better performance and good cameras, which are undoubtedly important aspects in the current mid-range on the market.
The design has also undergone changes compared to previous models of the brand in this market segment. They have bet in this case for a notch in the shape of a drop of water on both devices. The design is the same, although they are two different models in terms of specifications. We talk about each of them individually.
Specifications LG K40s and LG K50s
These LG K40s and K50s show the progress of the Korean brand in this segment market. They leave us with a fresh design, and we can also see that its specifications are better than those of previous phones from the company in this field. Progress is clear in the field of photography, with better cameras in this regard. In addition, as is usual in the range, they maintain the military certification, which shows their resistance. These are its specifications:
| LG K40S | LG K50S | |

| DIMENSIONS | 156,3 x 73,9 x 8,6 mm | 165,8 x 77,5 x 8,2 mm |
The LG K40s is the simplest model in this case, in addition to being somewhat smaller than the other. It has a 6,1-inch screen in this case. It comes with two combinations of RAM and storage on the market, from which to choose. In addition, it has a double rear camera of 13 + 5 MP. Its 3.500 mAh battery capacity will give us good autonomy at all times when we have to use it.
On the other hand we find the LG K50s, which is the most complete model in this range. The design is identical to the other model, only that it is somewhat larger, 6.5 inches of screen in this case. This device comes with three rear cameras, which are the same as those of the K40s, except that a third sensor has been added, which is the depth sensor. Its battery is somewhat larger too, with a capacity of 4.000 mAh in this case.
Otherwise, the two models share some specifications. Both have a rear fingerprint sensor, in addition to having the button to activate Google Assistant, which is something constant in LG phones, also present in its mid-range. They are very resistant models, as demonstrated by having the MIL-STD 810G Protection officially.
Price and launch
In its presentation in Asia a week ago it was said that more information would be revealed about its launch at IFA 2019. This has been the case, although in part. Since we know that these new LG mid-range models will be launched on the market in October, as confirmed by the company itself. Although no specific dates have been given in October, nor do we have the sale price of the two devices.
The two models will be launched in two colors on the market, which are New Aurora Black and New Moroccan Blue. We will have to wait a bit to learn more about the launch of this mid-range to the market.
