LG’s X Cam – its mid-range smartphone with premium camera features – will officially arrive in South Africa in August this year.
LG’s X series is constituted by mid-range smartphones that each have one premium feature. The X Screen, for example, bears a second screen which was first seen aboard the LG V10. Now, the second device in the X series – the X Cam – has been confirmed to land in South Africa within the month of August.
The X Cam bears two rear cameras in the style of LG’s flagship, the G5; one serves as a conventional 13-megapixel lens while the other functions as a 5-megapixel 120-degree wide-angle lens.
