LG to launch new variant of V30 smartphone model at CES 2018

The company says that it will be showcasing the particular variant of the smartphone at the upcoming CES 2018 conference. The Raspberry Rose colour variant, as expected, is a darker shade of Pink and is being also marketed by the company as an ‘ideal’ Valentine’s Day gift.

“Raspberry Rose, an intense saturated version of red, is a hue quite unlike any previous smartphone color offered by LG or its competitors. Designed for fashion-conscious smartphone users, LG created a unique color that provides outstanding visibility and to makes this V30 an ideal Valentine’s Day gift,” says the firm.
