LG is teasing what could potentially be a whole new line of smartphones, just in time for MWC 2013.

The company posted a teaser image of a present wrapped in a bow on its Facebook page, along with the tagline "New series will be unveiled". "See what surprise LG has in store for you this time, with an unexpected distinction," reads the picture credit.

Unlike HTC, there's been no news of what LG could have in store. But with Mobile World Congress just around the corner, LG is bound to have something big ready and waiting.

The tagline suggests a whole new range of smartphones, instead of just one or two. The LG Optimus G Pro, spotted previously, is a pumped-up version of the Optimus G, but LG has said it won't launch outside Japan. The G Pro packs a 5-inch screen and 1.7GHz quad-core processor.

The “new series” could also be the introduction of LG’s Windows Phone line. Recent rumours claim LG will release phones running Windows Phone 8 sometime this year. The company could use the biggest mobile show of the year to introduce its new lineup. There are no leaks of LG Windows Phones to speak of, however, so unless the line is a closely guarded secret at LG it seems unlikely.

At Mobile World Congress 2012 LG introduced a total of seven new devices. That flood of devices went from the Optimus 4X HD to the LG Optimus Vu. While neither device was a huge hit in the U.S., they were interesting phones: the first phone to use a Tegra 3 and LG’s first phablet, respectively.

Mobile World Congress this year is scheduled to kick off on February 24.
