LG aims for 40 m smartphone sales in 2013

LG Electronics has announced that this year, they will aim for a global target of 40 million in smartphones sales. The newest models of the LG Optimus series have been so successful that they led to a 56% increase in sales during the last quarter of 2012, resulting in a record of 8.6 million units sold. LG is hoping to maintain this upward trajectory in sales and out do themselves in 2013.

Perhaps the most impressive addition to the LG Optimus series is the Optimus G, which was launched in Sri Lanka on 17 February 2013. The Optimus G features a full high definition screen that is packed with two million pixels, twice the amount found in an ordinary smartphone with an HD screen.

The LG Optimus G is the world’s first quad-core fastest and most powerful smartphone. Designed to set a new standard in the industry, LG Optimus G combines LG’s leading LCD 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 display, LG Optimus G users can seamlessly multitask between apps and tasks and go beyond the boundaries of traditional on-the-go smartphone capabilities.

The Optimus G is a phone that is a true culmination of some of the best technology that LG has to offer the smartphone market. The elegant and sleek design and the imaginative user experience is combined with state-of-the-art display technologies from LG Innotek and LG Display such as True HD IPS Plus and Zerogap Touch.

A unibody unit that eliminates the gap between the glass and the LCD panel harmonise 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. Combined with Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology, the impressive processor allows users to easily and quickly view video while running other apps at the same time.

Not only does this phone come with the best technology available, but also holds some impressive new functions. The QSlide function shows two different screens simultaneously on the same display so that users can send emails while playing a graphic-intense video at the same time. Quick Memo allows users to take notes on captured documents or photos with their fingers and instantly share with colleagues as an attachment or URL and Live Zooming enables magnification up to five times.

It also has a 13MP rear-facing camera with Time Catch Shot, Cheese Shutter and Smart Shutter, Low Light Shot Noise Reduction, Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Operating System, 32 GB memory or 16 GB on- board memory and micro SD slot pre loaded with 16GB SD Card that can accommodate up to 64GB expandable memory. It has Bluetooth version 4.0 and a 1.3 MP front facing camera, 2G/3G/4G networks capability. Screen zooming allows zooming in and out of lists in music player, email, text messages and photo gallery for increased visibility.

This virtual powerhouse of a smartphone comes stylishly encased in a light weight, eye catching, slim body and comes with patented Crystal Reflection to give the back cover the ability to display different patterns depending on the angle and lighting. Users can further personalize their Optimus G display by using the Icon Personalizer which allows for customisation of the size and images of the most used applications on the phone.

The Optimus G creates the perfect combination of pleasure and functionality through a unique user experience not seen on any other device. This marriage between power and speed accommodates for all communication, business and entertainment needs while providing users with dazzling new features and a limitless array of functions. This impressive piece of technology is exclusively available at Abans Showrooms island-wide.
