Just before the CES 2017, LG unveiled its new 2017 K-series smartphones. Now, the company has sent out the media invite for the launch of the new K- series smartphone in India on January 22nd. LG is said to launch the LG K3 2017, K4 2017, K8 2017, and K10 2017 in India, while in the U.S, the company also launched the LG X calibur, Stylus 3, and X Power 2 smartphones.
