Designed to set a new standard in the industry, LG Optimus G combines LG's leading LTE, display and energy technologies with Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro processor to create an extremely fast and incredible mobile experience. Equipped with a high-density 2,100mAh battery and impressive 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus display, Optimus G users can seamlessly multitask between personal, business and entertainment needs and go beyond the boundaries of traditional on-the-go smartphone capabilities.
"LG Optimus G is the culmination of cutting-edge technologies provided by LG's class-leading global entities," said James Fishler, senior vice president, marketing and go-to-market operations, LG Electronics USA. "Drawing upon expertise from the LG Mobile Communications Company, LG Display, LG Chem and LG Innotek , we have carefully designed a new superphone that encourages users to step beyond everyday boundaries and explore a limitless world of power and creativity."
The elegant yet sleek design and the imaginative user experience displayed in the new Optimus G are made possible thanks to a collection of technologies from industry-leading developers in their fields. State-of-the-art display technologies from LG Innotek and LG Display such as True HD IPS Plus and Zerogap Touch, a unibody unitthat eliminates the gap between the glass and the LCD panel, harmonize to offer one of the slimmest, sharpest and clearest viewing experience yet. The new battery from LG Chem has a longer life designed for multitasking. An ultra high-resolution, compact camera is employed in the Optimus G to offer super sharp photos without pixilation.
Sprint and AT&T will be among the first wireless service providers in the world to offer the LG Optimus G, which is powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor - a 1.5GHz quad-core CPU processor with Asysnchronous Symmetric Multiprocessing, which enables each core to power up and down independently to increase performance while saving battery life.
Combined with LTE technology, the impressive processor allows users to easily and quickly view a video while running other apps at the same time. All of this power and functionality is housed in a light weight, eye-catching slim body to cater to fashionable lifestyles. LG developed and patented Crystal Reflection to give the back cover the ability to display different patterns depending on the angle and lighting. The intricate pattern gives Optimus G a clean finish reminiscent of a jewel.
The Optimus G creates the perfect combination of pleasure and functionality through a unique user experience not seen on any other device. While mobile communication, business, and entertainment are easily accommodated with the Optimus G, the all-new device can also release one's inner artist with a wide range of features including:
-- The QSlide Function shows two different screens simultaneously on one
display so users can quickly send an important work email while playing
a graphic-intense video at the same time.
-- QuickMemo allows users to take notes on captured documents or photos
with their fingers and instantly share with colleagues as an attachment
or URL.
-- Live Zooming enhances viewing experiences by enabling consumers to zoom
in up to five times while watching video to see small details normally
hidden on the screen.
-- Photographs can be intensified with camera capabilities like Time Catch
Shot, which empowers the user to choose the best photo among various
shots taken before the shutter button is pressed.
-- Dual Screen Dual Play not only allows mirroring between the smartphone
and a TV or monitor, it also has the ability to display different
content on each screen. For example, a slide presentation can be
displayed on the monitor while the Optimus G shows the accompanying
speaking notes.
-- Creativity is also put to the test by the Icon Personalizer, which
allows consumers to customize the sizes and images of their most-used
apps.
Key Features:
-- Advanced 13 MP or 8 MP rear-facing camera with Time Catch Shot, "cheese
shutter" and Smart Shutter and Low Light Shot Noise Reduction
-- Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) operating system
-- Qualcomm Snapdragon(TM) S4 Pro processor with 1.5GHZ Quad-Core Krait
CPUs and LTE
-- 32 GB of memory or 16 GB of on-board memory and microSD slot pre-loaded
with a 16GB SD card that can accommodate up to 64GB of expandable memory
-- 4.7-inch WXGA True HD IPS Plus Display (1280 x 768 pixels)
-- Display technologies including Zerogap Touch
-- 2,100mAh battery
-- Bluetooth® Version 4.0
Additional Features:
-- 1.3 MP front-facing camera
-- Capable of 2G/3G/ 4G LTE networks
-- Crystal Reflection glass finish
-- DualScreen Dual Play feature that wirelessly displays different content
on both a TV and the smartphone
-- Screen Zooming allows zooming in and out of lists in music player,
email, text messages and the photo gallery for increased visibility.
