LG Electronics (LG) unveiled its latest flagship smartphone LG G2, the first smartphone introduced under LG’s new “G” Series for premium devices last week. Nearly 700 guests from over 30 countries converged at the renowned Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York for the global introduction of the device. Based on LG’s research of consumer lifestyles and behaviors, the smartphone offers users more real-life benefits such as ergonomic design, practical functions and an intuitive user experience.
The LG G2 features a 5.2-inch Full HD display and a mere 2.65mm bezel on the side edge thanks to LG’s innovative Dual Routing technology. According to LG, its proven IPS technology contributes to superior graphics, accurate colors and clear images without any distortion. For more efficient energy usage, the device employs Graphic RAM (GRAM) technology. GRAM reduces the display’s energy use by up to 26 percent on a still frame and increases overall usage time on the device by approximately 10 percent. And with a generous 3,000mAh battery, the LG G2 is said to be ready for a full day’s work or play. [more…]
The LG G2 offers 13MP and OIS technology in a slim design without a protruding lens. And features such as Super Resolution and Multi-point AF help keep everything in focus, just like a standalone point-and-shoot digital camera. Besides, the device is the first smartphone on the market today to feature 24 bit/192kHz Hi-Fi playback that reproduces studio-like quality sound, far superior to a CD.
LG has also brought a new perspective in smartphone design. The LG G2 shifts the paradigm in smartphone design by placing all the buttons on the rear of the device, making this the first smartphone to be completely devoid of side buttons. The unique Rear Key concept came from the realization when studying users that the larger the phone became, the more difficult it was to properly access the side keys. Moving the main buttons to the back of the phone gave users more control since this place was where individuals’ index fingers are naturally located.
