LG Electronics and Sprint today announced LG Mach, a new 4G smartphone coming in a slim design and a qwerty keyboard.

Taking advantage of the device's 4-inch In-Plane Switching (IPS) WVGA display, 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and physical QWERTY keyboard, users can text, email or surf social media sites as fast as their fingers will let them.

The device is 0.48-inches thick and weighs less than six ounces. It includes a 5-megapixel camera with 1080p Full HD video recording and LG QuickMemo.

LG Mach is 56 percent recyclable, has a casing made of recycled plastic, and is Platinum-certified by UL Environment. It also earned the CarbonFree label under the product certification program offered by the Carbonfund.org Foundation and NSF International's NSF Sustainability division.

LG Mach features a 4-inch IPS WVGA display, supporting a 800 x 480 resolution, a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and a 1,700 mAh battery.

The Mach will probably sell for about $100.
