Bored with a normal 'smart'phone? I think this AKA redefines the smartness in a smartphone. While other companies in market compete in building the best specs for a phone, LG took a detour and tries to capture targeted customers.

The AKAs come with character names (Wooky, YoYo, Eggy and Soul) and each character has their own history. It has a slide cover more like the dot case the HTC M8 has but a little bit different. It comes with eyes of the character and has its own personalities. "Wherever you go I follow", the eyes are moving and it's looks depends upon the character.


LG states that this is the world's first phone with a built in character and there are totally 4 types of character:

  • Eggy, the yellow creature with coiffed hair, is always in love

  • Wooky, the white device, speaks in slang

  • Soul, the dark navy blue (almost black) phone, loves music.

  • YoYo, the pink female, who can't stop eating hamburgers and drinking Cokes

Watch this cute video of those phones!


You can choose your desired character and the plus point is that you can swap the covers with some other character. Which one will you pick? Leave in the comments ;)

To talk about the real specs, it has a decent 5-inch LED display with 1.27 GHz quad core processor and has a pretty good 8 megapixel rear camera. Also, the AKAs run on Android KitKat.

For now, the AKAs are only available in Korea. Soon it'll cost $455.56 in the U.S. and later it'll be released to more countries. But 455$ for a low spec phone, not a phone buff like me?! Nah, I expect better.
