LG as promised last month, on Tuesday announced it has started rolling out its LG X series smartphones globally.

The South Korean tech giant says the handsets will first be made available in its home turf South Korea followed by other key markets including Europe, Latin America, and Asia. India-specific availability details of the devices are not yet known.

“What’s appealing about the X screen and X cam is that each offers one great feature in a complete package that doesn’t break the bank,” said Juno Cho, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company, in an e-mailed statement. “Starting with the X series, we’re introducing the best in camera and display technology in a mass-tier device, something that has never been done before,” he added.
