The LG Class was showcased two months ago with mid-level specs and a sleek metal-clad body. The smartphone was billed as a "premium" handset for those on a budget. Its metal build was what set it apart from other LG offerings. The Korean tech giant usually outfits its handsets with the more flexible plastic casing but the company decided to go classy for the LG Class.

Reliable tech tipster Evan Blass, aka @ evleaks, reported back in September that the LG Class was expected to be sold in the U.S. via AT&T.

Now, Blass' speculation is one step closer to becoming a reality as the LG Class has recently been certified by no less than the Federal Communications Commission, Times News reported.

The LG Class features a five-inch 720 x 1280 resolution IPS LCD display and weighs in at 147 grams. Qualcomm's 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410 SoC is on board complete with a four-core CPU and the Adreno 306 GPU.

Memory-wise, there's 2GB of RAM and 16GB of native storage. Smartphone hard drives are notorious for falling short of what's being advertise. Fortunately, for future LG Class owners, the handset comes with support for micro-SD expansion up to two terabytes.

If you are wondering if the LG Class would fit in your pocket or handbag, you'll be glad to know the handset is only 142 millimeters long, 72 millimeters wide and 7.4 millimeters thick.

According to GSM Arena, the 13-megapixel camera on the back of the LG Class captures 4K resolution photos and records 1920 x 1080 videos at a consistent 30 frames per second. It also has support for LED flash, autofocus, touch focus, face detection, panoramic view and Geo-tagging.

Geo-tagging is the process of adding geographical data to a digital content. This includes latitude and longitude coordinates, names of cities and landmarks as well as other positional information.

When "geo-tagged," photos and videos can then be easily displayed on online maps. The data can also be cross-referenced with other geographical tidbits about a certain area or location, per Better Evaluation.

Completing the camera combo is an eight-megapixel selfie snapper. Android 5.1 is pre-installed on the LG Class while keeping its lights on is a 2,050 mAh battery.

The handset recently launched in Europe as the LG Zero. In Italy, the LG Zero costs the equivalent of $320.
