WHAT WE SAY
We could see what LG is trying to do here. They have launched 2 good smartphones to compete with their rivals Samsung. LG G2 mini is a great alternative to Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 and L70 competes with Samsung Galaxy S duos II.
The price of these two LG phones are slightly higher than what Samsung are offering but LG phones still punch above its weight given that they come with IPS screen,Gorilla Glass protection, Kitkat update and a better battery life!!
