LG Reveals 4.7" Optimus G Smartphone: 13MP Camera, LTE And Android 4.0
New Form of Cross-Tasking and Engaging UX
With reliable and speedy performance, LG's Optimus G doesn't solely enable multi-tasking but "cross-tasking" of activities without limitations. If multi-tasking applies to running various applications at the same time, cross-tasking applies to complex tasks that can be completed simultaneously without having to compromise other tasks. Some new UX features that will be included into the Optimus G to showcase its cross-tasking and engaging capabilities are:
· QSlide
Function shows two different screens simultaneously on one display. As
it doesn't show a part of the screen but the entire screen of both
functions, the user can complete two tasks concurrently – such as
sending a text message or searching the web while watching a video;
· Live Zooming enhances the video-watching experience as users can
zoom in up to five times while the video is being streamed for a
close-up of one's child while watching a recorded video from a school
recital;
· Dual Screen Dual Play not only allows mirroring between
the smartphone and a TV, it also has the ability to display different
content on each screen wirelessly. For example, a slide presentation can
be displayed on the TV while the Optimus G shows the accompanying
speaking notes;
· QuickMemo allows users to write, draw, or jot a
memo with their finger directly on the captured screen for sharing
instantly with others as an attachment or a URL. The QuickMemo can also
be used as an overlay feature - like jotting down a number using the
QuickMemo and directly dialing the number while the number is on the top
layer;
· Screen Zooming allows for the zooming in and out of
lists in music player, email, text messages and photo gallery. It also
offers the ability to change the font size and screen layout;
·
Application Link launches preset applications (Email, calendar, weather,
etc) when the alarm is turned off - making your preparation time in the
morning go a little faster with all the information prepared on your
screen;
· Icon Personalizer allows users the ability to customize
icons by editing size and adding images so the most frequently used apps
can be most easily accessible.
In addition, smart and fun camera features in Optimus G will allow for capturing and seizing those special moments in our lives. Utilizing the industry's highest resolution camera at 13MP, users will have the opportunity to capture their favorite scenes with:
· Time Catch Shot enables the user to choose the best among various shots taken before the shutter button is pressed;
· Cheese Shutter takes photos easily with voice activation command just by saying cheese, LG, kimchi or smile;
· Smart Shutter senses camera vibration or the movement of the subject and adjusts the shutter speed for the best shot;
· Low Light Shot Noise Reduction employs a light monitoring system
and activates when the camera is used in a low-light situation for the
least amount of noise.
Design Masterpiece with Timeless Value
Inheriting LG's design DNA and heritage, the blend of delicate design and technology placed the emphasis on simplicity with a completely black unibody form in the Optimus G. For this unique look, LG developed and patented the Crystal Reflection process, which is applied to the back of the Optimus G for a luxurious look and feel. Crystal Reflection gives the Optimus G's back cover the ability to display different patterns depending on the viewing angle and lighting. Also, the intricate polarized pattern, which sparkles under the sleek surface, creates a three-dimensional illusion that is eye-catching and exquisitely reminiscent of a jewel. And finally, laser cutting gives the Optimus G a clean finish with metallic highlights.
Unparalleled Technologies for Ultimate UX
The elegant yet sleek design and the imaginative UX experience displayed in the new Optimus G were possible thanks to a collection of technologies from industry-leading developers in their field.
Optimus G complements the enhanced UX features with unsurpassed speed and power from Qualcomm's Snapdragon™ S4 Pro Quad-Core processor. The state-of-the-art technologies such as the Zerogap Touch and True HD IPSPLUS Display from LG Innotek and LG Display harmonize to offer the slimmest, sharpest and clearest viewing experience yet. The new battery from LG Chem has a longer life of 800 cycles, a significant improvement over existing mobile phone batteries. An ultra high-resolution, compact 13MP camera is employed in the Optimus G to offer the sharpest photos without pixelation – even when creating extra-large prints.
LG Optimus G will go on sale in Korea starting next week followed by key global markets in October.
