LG G5 SE<\/a>\u00a0being the same size as the original G5, marking it is a regional variant rather than a wholly new product with a different-sized screen or features. Today, those reports have come true, as LG have announced the G5 SE for the Russian market.<\/p>\nHere’s what we know so far. The G5 SE is largely the same as the G5, supporting the same Friends accessories and with the same dimensions. Internally, there are a few cost-cutting measures that will allow LG to sell the unit more competitively in Latin America and Russia.<\/p>\n
No LTE support will be included in the SE, limiting speeds to HSDPA at most. The bleeding-edge Snapdragon 820 will be replaced by a slower mid-range model from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 652. The phone will also be backed with 3GB of RAM instead of 4GB.<\/p>\n
However, the two phones share all of their other major components. The SE comes with the same 13-megapixel camera, the same 5.3-inch 2560 x 1440 IPS display, and storage capacity isn’t affected either.<\/p>\n
The SE is actually better than the regular version in one respect, too: it’s marginally thinner, at 7.3 millimetres compared to 7.7 millimetres for the regular G5. That shouldn’t affect case compatibility, although tight-fitting cases on the G5 may be a little looser on the G5 SE.<\/p>\n
So… unless you want to save a couple bucks, or you really need a thinner phone, there’s not much point importing the LG G5 SE… but that’s one more mystery resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n
