LG Watch Urbane, Magna, Spirit, Leon, Joy hands-on

Introduction

LG held a low-key event on which it announced probably the best smartwatch yet (the first with LTE connectivity to boot) and two pairs of Android Lollipop phones - one pair curved and semi-premium, while the other is more traditional.

The LG Magna and LG Spirit are slightly curved - nowhere near the G Flex2 curvature, but enough to look cool and bring you bragging rights. The Magna has a 5" screen and a good 5MP selfie camera, while the Spirit is more compact with a 4.7" screen. Both have optional LTE connectivity.

The LG Leon and LG Joy are straight as a ruler and are smaller, 4.5" and 4" respectively, but both keep the quad-core processors and LTE connectivity of their other two siblings.

The LG Watch Urbane comes in two versions. One has LTE connectivity and NFC-based mobile payments. This one runs on a new LG Wearable Platform. The non-LTE version is thinner and much lighter and while it doesn't support mobile data or payments, it runs the more popular Android Wear OS.
