During the initial unveiling of LG Spirit in February, LG had said that the smartphone will come in two processor variants based on the market – 1.2GHz quad-core processor or 1.3GHz quad-core processor, coupled with 1GB of RAM. Notably, the LG Spirit smartphone in India was launched with 1.3GHz processor last month at Rs. 14,250.

As per specifications, the single-SIM LG Volt runs Android 5.0 Lollipop and features a 4.7-inch HD (720×1280 pixels) resolution display with pixel density of 312ppi. The display is curved slightly, with a 3000mm radius curvature.

As mentioned, the LG Volt is powered by a 64-bit Snapdragon 410 processor coupled with 1GB of RAM. It packs an 8-megapixel rear camera with an LED flash, and a 1-megapixel front facing camera. The 8GB of inbuilt storage on Volt is expandable via microSD card (up to 32GB).

Connectivity options on the LG Volt include 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS/ A-GPS, NFC and Micro-USB. The handset measure 133.25×66.12×9.95mm, weighs 119 grams, and is backed by a 2100mAh removable battery.
