The LG G3 was launched worldwide in a series of launch events taking place in six cities worldwide – London, New York, San Fran-cisco, Seoul, Singapore and Istanbul. LG aims to redefine the definition of a global smartphone for the global customers. Now, let me share with you more on the LG G3 smartphone!<\/p>\n

Highlights of the new G3 include:<\/p>\n

\u0178\u00a0\u00a05.5-inch Quad HD\u00a0display with 538ppi\u00a0with\u00a0four times the\u00a0resolution of HD and\u00a0almost two\u00a0times higher resolution than a Full HD display<\/p>\n

\u0178\u00a0\u00a013MP OIS+ (Optical Image Stabilizer Plus) camera with a revolutionary Laser Auto Focus that can shoot stunningly sharp images in a fraction of the time required by conventional phone cameras<\/p>\n

\u0178\u00a0\u00a0Polished metallic skin\u00a0on the rear cover that is lightweight, fingerprint-proof<\/p>\n

\u0178\u00a0\u00a0Floating Arc form factor that feels incredibly comfortable in one hand and incorporates the innovative design heritage of the Rear Key<\/p>\n

True-to-Life Viewing Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

LG\u2019s reputation in the display arena is second to none\u00a0and\u00a0the\u00a0development of the\u00a0G3\u2019s\u00a0breathtaking\u00a0Quad HD display\u00a0was the result of years of innovation in display technology. With\u00a0a pixel density of 538ppi, the G3\u2019s Quad HD display sets a\u00a0new viewing standard,\u00a0producing images that are sharper and clearer than traditional smartphone displays.\u00a0At\u00a05.5-inches, LG G3\u00a0boasts\u00a0a screen ratio of 76.4\u00a0percent\u00a0with thin bezels all around so the phone\u00a0feels as comfortable in the hand as a smaller traditional smartphone.<\/p>\n

The high resolution display on the G3 also required LG engineers to pair it with battery technology that was just as innovative. LG equipped the G3 with a 3,000mAh removable battery and advanced optimization technologies to further maximize battery efficiency. By replacing the metal in the battery cathode with graphite, LG engineers were able to extend the lifespan of the G3\u2019s battery.\u00a0The result is\u00a0a battery that can keep up with the Quad HD display\u2019s ultra-high performance without losing steam in the middle of the day.<\/p>\n

Simply Captivating<\/strong><\/p>\n

The G3\u2019s advanced 13MP OIS+ camera is designed to quickly and easily capture life\u2019s special moments as they occur. This is made possible with G3\u2019s innovative Laser Auto Focus, the first of its kind in the smartphone industry. This technology enables the G3 to capture the best moment \u2014 even in low light \u2014 by measuring the distance between the subject and the camera using a laser beam.<\/p>\n

Combined with the proven and popular OIS+ technology first seen in the G Pro 2, the G3 is sure to impress even the most discerning shutterbugs.<\/p>\n

LG also simplified the process of actually capturing those special moments. Rather than having to focus on the subject in preview mode and then pressing the shutter button, the G3 enables users to simply tap on the subject to focus, simultaneously triggering the shutter.<\/p>\n

The G3\u2019s 2.1MP front camera incorporates several new enhancements such as a larger image sensor and larger aperture for more light throughput and better-looking selfies. A unique twist has been added to the standard timed selfie mode by incorporating gesture controls. When ready to shoot, simply clench your hand into a fist and the G3 will recognize the gesture and begin the automatic three-second countdown.<\/p>\n

For video, the G3 offers superior sound quality with instinctive microphones that\u00a0measure the\u00a0environment to\u00a0identify the\u00a0optimal audio\u00a0level for\u00a0the clearestrecording. Coupled with\u00a0the built-in\u00a01W\u00a0speaker with\u00a0Boost AMP, users can\u00a0enjoy\u00a0videos\u00a0and music\u00a0accompanied by\u00a0richer\u00a0sounds\u00a0and clearer\u00a0tones.<\/p>\n

B<\/strong>alanced\u00a0<\/strong>and<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>S<\/strong>implified\u00a0<\/strong>D<\/strong>esign\u00a0<\/strong>L<\/strong>anguage<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Floating Arc design of the G3 with its\u00a0ergonomic arch\u00a0and\u00a0slim\u00a0side profile\u00a0provides an extremely comfortable grip for everyday one-handed use.\u00a0The Rear Key continues to anchor LG\u2019s innovative design language, with a newly designed power key and volume buttons as well as more premium quality materials and finish. LG also refined sophisticated technical features and advancements located on the rear by arranging them in a clean and singular layout consistent with the G3\u2019s well-balanced design language.<\/p>\n

To complement the new external design, LG adopted a minimalistic user interface design with flat graphics. The circular motif of the graphic assets in the new UI was derived from the shape and concept of LG\u2019s logo, reflecting its unique visual style and identity.<\/p>\n

Simpl<\/strong>ified UX to Reflect Simple Pleasures<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to the advanced core technologies, LG took its\u00a0Learning from You<\/em>\u00a0approach to a higher level with new UX features to offer G3\u00a0users\u00a0a unique experience unlike any previous LG smartphone. Highlights include:<\/p>\n

\u0178\u00a0\u00a0Smart Keyboard:<\/strong>\u00a0Adaptive technology learns as you type for faster input with less mistakes. Smart Keyboard reduces input errors by up to 75 percent by tracking and analyzing typing habits and intuitively \u201cknowing\u201d what word the user intended to type. The height of the keyboard can also be adjusted to better fit the user\u2019s hands and position of the thumbs. Individual keys can also be customized with frequently used symbols for even faster input.<\/p>\n

\u0178\u00a0\u00a0Smart Notice<\/strong>:\u00a0Like\u00a0a\u00a0personal assistant,\u00a0Smart Notice provides suggestions and recommendations\u00a0based on user behavior, phone\u00a0usage patterns\u00a0and location\u00a0to offer\u00a0user\u00a0information when\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0needed\u00a0the most.\u00a0Smart 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 G3 taking up valuable space, Smart Notice will ask if you would like to delete or uninstall them. But what sets Smart Notice apart from other personal assistants is its natural language capabilities. For example, instead of just displaying today\u2019s temperature and weather forecast, Smart Notice will make a recommendation such as, \u201cYou may want to take an umbrella today since it will rain this evening.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u0178\u00a0\u00a0Smart Security<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/strong>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:<\/p>\n

Knock Code^{TM<\/sup><\/em>\u00a0enables 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 G3, users\u00a0have the option of being able to use\u00a0KnockON to wake the screen to check\u00a0the\u00a0time\u00a0as well as enter the home\u00a0screen directly via Knock CodeTM<\/sup>.<\/p>\n}

Content Lock<\/em>\u00a0keeps personal files safe\u00a0and hidden from view when sharing the\u00a0G3 with friends.\u00a0When the G3 is connected to a PC, Content Lock prevents file previews so the data is still safe.\u00a0The\u00a0locked files can reside either on the G3\u2019s internal memory or on the microSD card.<\/p>\n

Kill Switch<\/em>\u00a0gives\u00a0G3\u00a0owners\u00a0the ability to\u00a0disable their\u00a0phones\u00a0remotely in the event of theft. The\u00a0Kill Switch\u00a0also\u00a0allows\u00a0content on the G3 to be wiped\u00a0sopersonal information won\u2019t be compromised.\u00a0Kill Switch also includes\u00a0antivirus\u00a0scanning and remote\u00a0wipe\u00a0and lock, among other essential features.<\/p>\n

LG will also be offering a\u00a0collection of\u00a0new\u00a0premium accessories\u00a0to accompany the LG G3:<\/p>\n

\u0178\u00a0\u00a0Quick<\/strong>Circle<\/strong>^{TM<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0Case:<\/strong>\u00a0QuickCircleTM<\/sup>\u00a0Case\u00a0allows\u00a0easy\u00a0access to\u00a0frequently used\u00a0functions\u00a0such as\u00a0calling, text messaging,\u00a0music\u00a0and camera\u00a0all\u00a0from the QuickCircle window without opening the cover.
