LG Unveils The First Curved Smartphone - LG G Flex

Hi Huneybees,

LG Electronics (LG) today announced the arrival of LG G Flex in Singapore, the first device in the smartphone market that is curved to follow the contour of the face. The G Flex is the latest device in LG’s premium G Series which is set to create a new milestone in smartphone revolution, incorporating proprietary innovations from other LG companies in the form of the display and battery. It also boasts new user experience (UX) features that take advantage of the phone’s curved form factor.

“LG has continued to learn from consumers and has broken boundaries with a distinctive and revolutionary product that is shaped to enhance consumers’ usage experience. The LG G Flex with its distinctive curved design, innovative hardware and consumer-centric UX sets the standard in the smartphone industry and represents the most significant smartphone development.” --- Mr. Scott Jung, Managing Director, LG Electronics Singapore

Form + Function: Design that Understands Human Curves

The vertically curved design of the LG G Flex reduces the distance between the user’s mouth to the microphone when the device is held against the ear, as traditional telephone handsets used to. It is also optimized to deliver improved voice and sound quality, increasing the sound level by 3dB compared to typical flat smartphones. Furthermore, the curved design offers a more reassuring grip and fits more comfortably in one’s back pocket. In landscape mode, the display offers a cinematic experience to fit the contours of human’s eyes, with the result being the most comfortable viewing angle for watching videos or playing games.

The LG G Flex also features the Rear Key function which was first introduced in the LG G2. Devoid of any buttons on the sides, there is less chance of accidentally powering off the phone and the convenience of using one’s index finger to adjust the volume when conversing is maintained.


Innovation Delivered Through Collaboration

The development of LG G Flex was only possible through the successful collaboration with its sister companies, LG Display and LG Chem. The 6-inch display found in the G Flex is the world’s largest Plastic OLED (POLED) display developed and mass produced specifically for smartphones. The ultra-thin, ultra-light flexible POLED display and curved OLED panel are built on plastic substrates instead of glass, giving LG G Flex its unique shape and durability. The POLED display is brighter and more precise thanks to the application of Real RGB, which contains all three sub-pixels — red, green and blue — in one pixel.

LG Chem developed the world’s first curved battery technology specifically for application in LG G Flex. The curved battery in the G Flex is designed with LG Chem’s patented Stack & Folding technology, reducing the physical stress on the battery pack when in the curved form and provides better stability and performance. Despite its thin form, the LG G Flex battery has a capacity of 3,500mAh, enough power for more than a full day of use.

User-Centered Technologies

Among the several new technologies, the LG G Flex is the first smartphone to apply a “Self Healing” coating on the back cover. The elastic coating has the ability to recover from the daily wear-and-tear scratches and nicks that un-cased smartphones are likely to receive, helping it to maintain a brand-new look.

Users of LG G Flex will have a wider selection in the ability to enjoy music in various formats — MP3, CD quality or 24 bit/192kHz Hi-Fi playback. UX features, such as KnockON, Guest Mode and Plug & Pop, which were positively received when first introduced in the LG G2, can also be found in the LG G Flex. The LG G Flex also includes an array of new UX features:

• QuickTheater gives users quick access to photos, videos and YouTube right from the lock screen. By touching the screen and dragging outwards along the curved surface with both fingers, the apps appear with the effect of theater curtains being drawn.
• Dual Window divides the wide 6-inch screen into two separate windows for more effective multitasking.
• Swing Lockscreen alters the image on the lockscreen depending on how the G Flex is held.
• Face Detection Indicator displays the LED on the Rear Key in green to confirm status of face detection and focus during self shots using the rear camera.
• Camera Timer flashes the Rear Key LED to indicate that the countdown has begun.

LG Vest Cover

LG Tone+ Bluetooth headset

The LG G Flex will be available for pre-order through selected mobile operators on December 8 at a recommended retail price of S$1,088.00. Purchase of LG G Flex during the pre-order period comes with a LG Vest Cover (Worth $48.00) and a LG Tone+ Bluetooth headset (Worth $178.00).

LG 2013 CINEMA 3D Smart TV For The Smart And Stylish Future Home

Hi Huneybees,

Smart features, sharp picture quality, and sleek design, the 2013 CINEMA 3D Smart TV line-up from LG Electronics brings today’s sophisticated consumers a premium home entertainment world. Pushing the boundaries and always developing new innovations, the 2013 TV line-up is packed with new features that are designed with consumers’ savvy needs in mind, resulting in smart sharing of content, smart control of home entertainment system, and smart content that brings a smile to adults and children alike.

There are a total of seven series with most models featuring 3D and smart TV functions like content sharing with new NFC, Miracast and Cloud technologies. These functions supplement Intel's Wireless Display (WiDi) and Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL), which were inherited from their predecessors.

New features

Smart Control 

Inspired by consumer demand for a more comprehensive home entertainment system, LG has outfitted the latest Smart TV line-up with new smart applications and features. With user experience as a primary focus, LG enhanced its Magic Remote to make applications and features selection and usage faster, simpler and more enjoyable on a daily basis.

As a key pillar of the unparalleled user experience, the unique LG Magic Remote available with 2013 CINEMA 3D Smart TV optimizes content and menu navigation, allowing interaction to be as simple and intuitive as possible. On top of the control capabilities of earlier models –point and wheel, the latest Magic Remote Gesture Control allows users to change TV channel by drawing the channel number on the screen. If users find typing a hassle, they can use the Voice Search function available on Magic Remote to directly look for content on the TV including those on the internet. Motion Control is another smart control function, which enables users to control the TV with a bare hand and is a convenient substitute when the Magic Remote is out of reach. Users could adjust basic settings such as volume, channel, input source and power off.

Improved picture quality

A new dual-brightness enhancement film delivers up to 15 percent higher screen luminance compared to their older TVs. There's also a better local-dimming system used for the LA6620, LA7400 and LA8600, featuring more dimmable zones to output a higher contrast and deeper blacks.

Enhanced dual-core processors

These chips make the TVs more responsive and users can expect around 18 percent faster TV channel switching, as well as shorter photo loading times from USB storage devices as well as faster Web page rendering and better video-processing capabilities.

Time Machine II

You record up to 75 minutes of standard-definition TV programs (and 60 minutes for HD broadcasts) on the TV's 2GB of built-in memory. Connecting a USB storage device to the TV increases the overall video-recording duration and activates the time-shift function, too.

LG Cloud

Sharing content across different platforms is now possible with 5GB of Cloud-based storage. Accessing the uploaded photos, videos and music files is catered for through an LG Cloud app, which is available for smartphones, tablets, PCs and TVs. Access your files from any part of the world.

Onboard camera with dual microphones: 

Found only in the LA8600 series, the pop-up camera provides both Skype and motion control support for users. Raising your hand displays an onscreen menu, while clenching it indicates selection. Some of the available controls include volume adjustments and channel toggling. For other models, a USB camera is required to add this functionality.
