LG Electronics ha annunciato lo smartphone di fascia alta Optimus G, una soluzione che, in accordo al vendor coreano, promette di abbinare prestazioni elevate a un aspetto particolarmente elegante, da un lato, e a una "user experience" innovativa, dall'altro.

Al suo arrivo sul mercato, Optimus G sarà il primo smartphone con cpu quad-core e connettività LTE: nello specifico, la device utilizza il nuovo SoC Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064), che include una cpu quad-core Krait e una gpu, di nuova generazione, Adreno 320.

Ciascuno dei core del SoC Snapdragon S4 Pro lavora a 1.5GHz secondo lo schema Asynchronous Symmetric Multiprocessing (aSMP), in base al quale ogni core, nell'ottica del risparmio energetico, può essere attivato o disattivato indipendentemente dagli altri in funzione del carico di lavoro.

La gpu Adreno 320, che migliora il gaming poichè assicura frame rate più elevati e supporta risoluzioni HD più elevate della precedente implementazione siglata Adreno 225, alimenta un display WXGA True HD IPS+ da 4.7-inch, la cui risoluzione nativa è pari a 1280 × 768 pixel, che promette immagini molto realistiche.

Lo smartphone Optimus G sarà lanciato da LG in Corea a settembre; seguirà progressivamente la disponibilità del gadget negli altri mercati del mondo.

LG Electronics (LG) revealed its newest premium mobile device with the announcement of the Optimus G, a high-end smartphone that offers powerful performance, an elegant and sleek design, and an innovative user experience. As the first LTE device featuring Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro Quad-Core processor, Optimus G will set the foundation for every future premium smartphone from LG.

Best-of-Best Technologies
To offer the best smartphone to consumers, LG gathered industry-leading partners and technologies to develop the Optimus G. In collaboration with Qualcomm, LG developed the Optimus G with the goal to be the first LTE smartphone with the Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU. LG also joined hands with vertically-integrated sister companies LG Chem, LG Display and LG Innotek for the ultimate battery capacity, viewing and user experience.

Next Generation Quad-Core with LTE
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.

Cutting-edge Display and Outstanding Battery Efficiency
With help from LG Display, the Optimus G sports a beautiful 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. LG Display pushed the boundaries of its technology to offer True HD IPS+ Display, which 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.

Enhanced UX for Productivity and Entertainment
Whether users need functionality or fun in their daily lives, the Optimus G has it all, including a high-resolution 13.0MP camera and unique and differentiated 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;
• QMemoTM, 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.
