Selfie sticks — those long, pokey things that you probably see a lot of people waving around — won’t be going the way of dinosaurs any time soon, so following the old adage of “if you can’t beat them, join them”, LG has announced an array of new phones that cater to the selfie-stick crowd.
We introduce to you, Magna, Spirit, Leon, and Joy.
These phones make it easier to take selfies, as they use hand gestures that trigger three-second countdowns. Moreover, their cameras recognize these gestures up to 1.5 meters, making it perfect for selfie sticks.
They’re definitely not just fancy camera phones, as the Magna, Spirit, Leon, and Joy are also LTE-capable devices running on Android 5.0 Lollipop. With the exception of Joy which falls in the lower end of the spectrum, all run on 1.3GHz quad-core processors with 1GB of RAM, and considering that these will be launched as a mid-tier line, pricing will be considerably good.

I think it is more better if they include a Selfie Stick Pro on its bundle. 🙂
That’s actually a good idea, Alice. 🙂 Who knows? Maybe LG would include a selfie stick in its roster of accessories.
