LG finally revealed its newest premium mobile device with
the announcement of the Optimus G, a high-end smartphone
that offers performance and a sleek design.
The Optimus G is the first LTE device featuring Qualcomm's
Snapdragon S4 Pro Quad-Core processor. LG also joined hands
with vertically-integrated sister companies LG Chem, LG
Display and LG Innotek in order to offer high battery
capacity, viewing and user experience.
The Optimus G will be the first commercial and global
smartphone to offer the Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064)
processor with a Quad-Core Krait CPU, LTE supported
capabilities, and the newest generation Adreno 320 GPU. The
Snapdragon S4 Pro runs at 1.5GHz and features Asynchronous
Symmetric Multiprocessing (aSMP), which enables each core
to power up and down independently, for maximum performance
with better battery life. Furthermore, the Adreno 320 is
over three times faster than the Adreno 225 found in
previous Snapdragon processors for an enhanced gaming
experience with faster frame rates, smoother play and
support for higher HD resolution displays.
With help from LG Display, the Optimus G sports a 4.7-inch
WXGA True HD IPS+ Display with 320ppi high pixel density
(1280x768 pixels) and Stripe RGB IPS Panel with 15:9 aspect
ratio. According to LG, the True HD IPS+ Display is sharper
and crisper with color accuracy of sRGB 100 percent to show
natural and life-like images.
Moreover, the Optimus G will be the first smartphone to be
equipped with LG Innotek and LG Display's newly developed
G2 Touch Hybrid Display for touchscreen panels (TSP). The
G2 Touch Hybrid Display is thinner than current TSPs and
offers the slimmest panel display with no diffused
reflection for clearer and sharper visibility, even
outdoors. Thanks to the new technology, the thickness of
the screen panel has been reduced and the screen itself is
much stronger to withstand damage from impact.
Lastly, LG Chem developed a high-density 2,100mAh battery
that provides more power capacity and prolonged charging
cycles. The new battery technology extended the battery
lifespan to 800 cycles at 80 percent charging capabilities,
much greater than the lifespan of 500 cycles in regular
phone batteries.
The Optimus G also includes a high-resolution 13.0MP camera
and user experience (UX) features, such as:
- Live Zooming allows zooming in and out while viewing a
video;
- 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. For example, a slide
presentation can be displayed on the TV while the Optimus G
shows the accompanying speaking notes;
- QMemo, first seen in the Optimus Vu:, allows users to
write, draw, or jot a memo directly on the captured
screen with their finger for sharing instantly with others
as an attachment or a URL;
- Time Catch Shot allows users to select and save the best
shot among the images taken just before the
shutter button is depressed;
- Cheese Shutter takes a photo when a voice command is
spoken.
The Optimus G is also encased in an slim body. Premium
glass is utilizied on the back cover with a polarized glass
pattern that offers a modern look. The G2 Touch Hybrid
Display contributed significantly to the design of the
Optimus G as it reduced the thickness of the device
enabling Optimus G to fit more in the hand.
NTT DOCOMO will be the first to unveil a Japanese edition
of the Optimus G. The global version of the device will be
launched in Korea in September, followed by other markets
worldwide.
