LG Takes Wraps Off Its Latest Premium Smartphone, The Simple And Smart LG G3, In United States

Coming to U.S. This Summer, Highly-Anticipated LG G3 Smartphone Features Predictive Technology, Quad HD Display and Optimized UI

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics has taken the wraps off of its highly anticipated new premium flagship smartphone, the LG G3. Already well received by key wireless carriers around the globe, the LG G3 will begin rolling out this summer with more than 170 wireless carrier partners worldwide, including major U.S. carriers and retailers, such as T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile specialty stores.

"With the LG G3, we've developed a premium smartphone that provides a one-of-a-kind simple and intuitive user experience," said Morris Lee, senior vice president and head of North American sales and marketing for LG MobileComm, the maker of the acclaimed G smartphone series, LG G Pad 8.3 tablet and innovative, curved LG G Flex smartphone.

"The LG G3's noteworthy innovations - outperforming the impressive advancements of its predecessor, the popular LG G2 - include our new Quad HD display, a first for smartphones in the U.S., our exclusive Laser Autofocus camera for quicker, sharper photos, LG Knock Code for enhanced security and a new optimized user interface with predictive, adaptive technology. We expect these attributes to make LG G3 a top competitor in the premium smartphone category, further solidifying LG's role as a strong Top 3 player in the U.S. market," Lee said.

According to Strategy Analytics' first-quarter 2014 smartphone shipment data, LG holds a strong number 3 market share in the United States. Building on the acclaim of the premium G series, the LG G2 has set the stage for the LG G3's expected widespread success in the U.S., Lee said.

Under the banner "Simple is the New Smart," LG last week celebrated the global launch of the LG G3 in major launch events in six cities on four continents. More than 150 event attendees in New York and San Francisco, and thousands of viewers online, tuned into the live stream of the official global press briefing held in London for the global introduction of LG G3.

U.S. VIPs, analysts and journalists in attendance were among the first in the world to experience the LG G3's 5.5-inch Quad HD display, which provides an unparalleled smartphone viewing experience while being designed to easily fit in the palm of your hand. LG G3's Quad HD IPS display (2,560 x 1,440 resolution) boasts over 3.8 million pixels, four times the resolution of many of today's HD smartphones for incredible, life-like detail.

For the first time, U.S. smartphone aficionados had the chance to experience the LG G3's innovative new features during the hands-on demonstrations in New York and San Francisco.

The world's first smartphone with Laser Auto Focus and Tap to Shoot, the LG G3 allowed them take picture-perfect shots using its 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with OIS+ technology. Alongside the camera demo stations, LG's new, simplified user experience was on display, spotlighting its new Smart Keyboard, Smart Notice and Smart Security features:

    --  Smart Keyboard: Adaptive technology learns as you type for faster input
        with fewer mistakes. Smart Keyboard reduces input errors by tracking and
        analyzing typing habits and intuitively "knowing" what word the user
        intended to type. The height of the keyboard can also be adjusted to
        better fit the user's hands and position of the thumbs. Individual keys
        can also be customized with frequently used symbols for even faster
        input.
    --  Smart Notice: Like a personal assistant, LG's Smart Notice provides
        suggestions and recommendations based on user behavior, phone usage
        patterns and location to offer user information when it's needed the
        most. Smart Notice can remind you of a call you declined earlier and ask
        if you would like to call that person back. If you have a large number
        of unused files or apps on the LG G3 taking up valuable space, Smart
        Notice will ask if you would like to delete or uninstall them. What sets
        Smart Notice apart from other personal assistants is its natural
        language capabilities. For example, instead of just displaying today's
        temperature and weather forecast, Smart Notice will make a
        recommendation such as, "You may want to take an umbrella today since it
        will rain this evening."
    --  Smart Security: Understanding the importance of maintaining and securing
        confidential data when smartphones are shared, misplaced, lost or
        stolen, the LG G3 offers a number of enhanced security features such as
        Knock Code and Content Lock:
        --  Knock Code(TM) enables users to unlock their device with a pattern
            of taps. Merging security and convenience, users can create a
            personalized code that can be entered anywhere on the screen. With
            the LG G3, users have the option of being able to use KnockON to
            wake the screen to check the time or enter the home screen directly
            via Knock Code.
        --  Content Lock* keeps images and video safe and hidden when enabling
            the lock feature. When the LG G3 is connected to a PC, Content Lock
            prevents file previews so the data is still safe. The locked images
            and videos can reside either on LG G3's internal memory or on the
            microSD card.
A collection of new premium accessories (sold separately) previewed last week include:

    --  Quick Circle(TM) Case: Available in five colors, Quick Circle allows for
        simple, one-tap access to six frequently used smartphone functions,
        including calls, text messages, music, camera, all without having to
        open the case.
    --  LG Tone Infinim(TM) (HBS-900): Developed in collaboration with
        Harman/Kardon, LG Tone Infinim delivers premium audio quality sound in a
        stylish design highlighted by sleek curves and a glossy metallic finish.
        The Tone Infinim(TM) provides users with LG's innovative retractable
        wire management technology that leaves no exposed wires to tangle. The
        Bluetooth stereo is also equipped with a jog button to fast forward and
        rewind effortlessly, as well as a sound and vibration alert function to
        inform of incoming messages, current time and battery status. While Tone
        Infinim is compatible with all smart devices with Bluetooth, it is
        particularly optimized for LG's upcoming G3 smartphone. Name Alert(TM),
        which announces the name or phone number of the calling party, is one
        feature that is only available to G3 owners.
    --  Wireless Charger: Compact and ready-to-go, LG's Wireless Charger is
        optimized for easy portability. The Wireless Charger is compatible with
        Qi's wireless power charging technology, making charging LG G3 even more
        convenient.
