An unannounced LG phone model, referred to as model number L63BL, was reported to have passed the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification procedures over the weekend.
According to Phone Arena, the FCC normally gives out a list of and photos of upcoming devices lined up for their debut. However, this time around LG is said to have requested full product confidentiality from the FCC - which means that the internal workings of the LG L63BL's block diagram, schematics, and operational descriptions will never be released. Meanwhile, the usual information such as phone specs and photos will be released together with the official launching of the device.
Some information about the phone was still leaked by the site, though. The phone apparently supports various networks including GSM, WCDMA and LTE as well as the regular 850, 1700 and 1900 bands. A simple placeholder image, which shows where the FCC label is supposed to be, was also posted by Phone Arena which shows that the device has a camera with flash and a fingerprint scanner.
Since it passed the FCC's standards, the LG L63BL could be released at any time. Phone Arena added that the phone could be a budget-friendly phone available from carriers such as Net 10, Straight Talk and Tracfone.
"The Class II Cover Letter that LG sent to the FCC denotes that this device is identical to one that had been certified previously," Android Headlines said in its report.
It added that the tests made on the LG L63BL were conducted in a special facility hand-in-hand with PCTEST, and that the phone model passed all of the FCC's network and interference tests successfully. In fact, there are no reported issues or bugs that need to be addressed as far as hardware is concerned.
Any supposed leaked or rumored information regarding the LG L63BL "should be taken with a grain of salt," it ended.
