LG is out with two new entry-level candybars – GB106 (pictured left) and GB110 (pictured right). Both devices won’t impress anyone with their specs sheet, but that’s because of their “low-end nature.” The Korean giant is targeting emerging markets as well as first time mobile phone users with these two.

Both the LG GB106 and LG GB110 come with a FM radio with built-in antenna (no headsets are required), 1.5-inch color display, 950 mAh Li-Ion battery (4 hours of talk and 400 hours of standby time), and only 1 MB of user memory. The better of the two models, GB110, also sports a VGA camera and microSD expansion slot that supports memory cards of up to 2GB.

The new LG phones are expected to start selling later this month. Price was not given, but we’re guessing hundred bucks would be sufficient for the better model. In other words, expect them to be offered for free on a contract.
