LG is releasing a new mid-range series of smartphones that incorporate a few features found on its high-end devices.

The line, called the L series, features the L Bello and L Fino. The devices are both 3G based, and offer many of the same design aspects as LG's flagship, the LG G3. For example, both devices include the rear button found on the G3. They also include LG's floating arc design, which basically means the edges are quite thin, while the back of the devices curves to allow users to more easily handle the device.

These devices signal a shift in focus at LG and show the company is working on better low-end devices to cater for those who may not have the money to buy a flagship smartphone.

Both devices will ship with Android 4.2.2 KitKat out of the box, and will have Internet access at speeds of up to 21Mbps, via HSDPA.

The L Bello is powered by a quad core 1.3GHz processor, as well as a 5-inch display that has a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. The primary camera of the device is 8 megapixels, while the front facing camera is 1 megapixel. It also has 8GB of storage and 1GB of RAM.

The LG L Fino includes a 1.2GHz processor with a 4.5-inch display and a screen with a resolution of 800 x 480. It also has an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera, but the front-facing camera on the device is VGA. The device, like the Bello, has 1GB of RAM, however the amount of storage has been cut from 8GB to 4GB.

While it is true the L Bello and the L Fino are not the most powerful devices on the market, they certainly fill a gap for low to mid-range devices from LG. Of late it has been proven that there is a strong market for such devices by the Motorola Moto G, for example, which has become extremely popular since its release.

The L Bello and L Fino will debut some time this month in parts of Latin America, followed by Europe and Asia. There is no official word on pricing, however both the L Bello and L Fino are expected to cost less than $200 without a contract.
