It's not surprising in a positive note but a rather ironic move. The new LG L60 variant called the LG L60i is the same LG L60 phone with just the 3G connectivity option missing in it.

As per Mumbai-based Mahesh Telecom, the phone is now available for Rs. 6,399, which is around Rs. 300 less than L60 price at e-retailers like Amazon India and Snapdeal. But does the Rs. 300 difference help the company sell the 2G enabled units more?

It's not event a subject to highly suspicion but a backwards move altogether. It is still now sure what LG is trying to do with the new phone. Moreover, why would a customer buy the 2G model instead of getting 3G variant in just Rs. 300 more.
