LG leads the way with mobile innovation

We have seen the standard of mobile technology change drastically over the last few years. Cellphones have gone from being bulky devices with functions limited to voice calls and SMSing to state-of-the-art devices that complement an on-the-go lifestyle. The advancement and innovation that has taken place in the mobile space would not have been possible without the forward-thinking mentality of technology giants such as LG.

“The smartphone market has evolved significantly over the past decade, and the challenge now is to define our path forward for the next decade,” said LG Mobile Communications Company President, Hwang Jeong-hwan.

“There are very few companies with the depth of experience and diversity of product knowledge as LG. We have every intention of growing our mobile footprint and thriving in this environment,” he added.

As the first brand to launch a 5G smartphone in South Africa that also features 8K video recording technology, it’s easy to see that LG is leading the way in the mobile space.

A sleek, beautifully designed life companion

One of the most obvious evolutions smartphones have gone through is in their appearance. From their initial brick-like designs to the responsive, touch phones of today, impressive displays are the new norm. Even so, the 6.8″ Cinematic FullVision 3D Arc Display of the recently released LG Velvet 5G smartphone is breaking boundaries. The sleek, colourful design with its eye-catching finish shines to create the illusion of velvet.

The LG V60 ThinQ 5G is another pioneering device from LG. The foldable screen means it helps you maximise productivity and entertainment – all while looking stylish and sleek.

Improved functionality

Gone are the days where a cellphone was just used for phone calls and messaging. As the name implies, smartphones are a whole lot, well, smarter.

Video calling is now an everyday occurrence, which means that you need to have a good camera and a stable network to make the most of it. The LG Velvet 5G’s 48-megapixel main camera combined with unique camera software is what you need to capture vivid videos, hyper-realistic photos and, of course, flattering selfies.

And to make sure that all your content downloads and uploads instantly? 5G technology. 5G is the latest cellular technology that has been designed to enable faster internet speeds and responsiveness to wireless networks. Social media apps will load in the blink of an eye, and movies will be streamed without lag or buffering – to name but a few advantages. This technology will be rolled out in the next few years, with more and more smartphones being designed with this functionality in mind. As the first 5G-enabled phone to hit South African shores, the LG V50 ThinQ 5G is a must for anyone who’s always on the go.

Another key feature that consumers are looking for in a smartphone is the use of artificial intelligence to make life a lot simpler. LG’s ThinQ app makes navigating a busy schedule incredibly easy. The app acts as a control centre for your home when paired with compatible devices. You can control appliances when you’re out and about or use the Google Assist button to manage your schedule, search for needed items and even control your television. Technology is well and truly taking over the world.

A smartphone that lasts

LG knows that battery power is important when it comes to choosing a smartphone – that’s why the all-day battery life of the Velvet 5G is so appealing. But there are other aspects to consider. A waterproof, dustproof phone is often seen as a luxury, but when your phone is always attached to you, accidents happen. The solution? A Military Standard Approved smartphone.

Imagining something bulky? Fear not. LG’s Velvet 5G is military approved, all while maintaining a sleek, sophisticated design.

The future of mobile technology is exciting, and the innovative ways that tech companies like LG have found to pack a ton of impressive features into smartphones leave us excited to see what’s next.
