LG lanseeraa G3:n – Tervetuloa älypuhelinten seuraavalle tasolle
– Uusi huippumalli jatkaa
kehuttua G-sarjaa mottonaan ”yksinkertainen on älykästä”
HELSINKI, 28. toukokuuta 2014 – LG Electronics on vihdoin
julkistanut kauan odotetun LG G3 -älypuhelimen maailmalle. LG G3 jatkaa
yhtiön onnistuneen LG G2:n jalanjäljissä, ja uusi, innovatiivinen huippumalli yhdistää
tämän hetken parhaat teknologiat, tyylikkään muotoilun, käyttäjäystävällisen
käyttöliittymän sekä älykkäät ominaisuudet.
LG G3:ssa on ylellinen
metallinhohtoinen muotoilu ja markkinoiden ensimmäinen Quad HD -näyttö, jonka
kuvanlaatu on vailla vertaa. G3:n resoluutio on 2560x1440, eli siinä on yli 75
prosenttia enemmän pikseleitä kuin Full HD -näytössä. 538 pikseliä tuumalla
takaavat kuvan, joka on äärimmäisen yksityiskohtainen ja terävämpi kuin
painetussa lehdessä. Kun tähän lisää edistyneen 13 megapikselin kameran, jossa
on optinen kuvanvakain ja supernopea laser-automaattitarkennus, ja akun, joka
kestää koko päivän ja vähän seuraavaakin, vie LG G3 sinut seuraavalle tasolle.
Hinta ja saatavuus
LG G3 on
saatavilla Suomessa väreissä Metallic Black, Silk White ja Shine Gold kesäkuun
viimeisestä viikosta alkaen. Sen verollinen suositushinta on 599 euroa (16GB) /
649 euroa (32GB)
Korkearesoluutioisia kuvia
Korkearesoluutioisia
kuvia on saatavissa LG:n kuva-arkistossa. Kirjoita
mallin nimi eli G3 vasemmanpuoleiseen hakuruutuun.

WITH NEW G3, LG AIMS TO
REDEFINE CONCEPT OF SMART AND SIMPLE
New G3 Builds on Legacy of
the Acclaimed G Series with “Simple is the New Smart”
LONDON,May 27, 2014 — LG Electronics (LG) today introduced to the world its eagerly anticipated G3
smartphone, the successor to the company’s well-received LG G2. With launch
events taking place in six cities worldwide — London, New York, San Francisco,
Seoul, Singapore and Istanbul — LG G3 aims to redefine the definition of a
global smartphone for global customers.
Developed under the Simple is the New Smart concept, LG G3 is a culmination of consumer
research based on LG’s product development philosophy, Learning from You. The LG G3 was empowered with the best of what
current technology has to offer, providing consumers with a user experience
more ambitious than anything offered before by LG.
“The smartest innovation in a fast evolving smartphone
market is creating harmony between advanced technology and a simplified user
experience,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of the LG Electronics
Mobile Communications Company. “LG G3 is the result of our effort to actualize
that idea into a tangible product. And we are extremely pleased with the
result.”
Highlights of the new G3 include:
- 5.5-inch
Quad HD display with 538ppi with four times the resolution of HD and almost two times higher
resolution than a Full HD display
- 13MP 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
- Polished metallic skin on the rear cover that is lightweight,
fingerprint-proof and most of all, beautiful
- Floating Arc form factor that feels incredibly
comfortable in one hand and incorporates the innovative design heritage of the
Rear Key
- Redesigned graphic user interface (GUI) consistent with the Simple is the New Smart concept of the G3
True-to-Life
Viewing Experience
LG’s
reputation in the display arena is second to none and the development of the G3’s breathtaking Quad
HD display was the result of years of innovation in display
technology. With a
pixel density of 538ppi, the G3’s Quad HD display sets new viewing
standard producing images that are sharper and clearer than
traditional smartphone displays. At 5.5-inches,
LG G3 boasts a screen ratio of 76.4 percent with thin bezels all around so the phone feels
as comfortable in the hand as a smaller traditional smartphone.
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’s battery. The result is a battery that can keep up with the Quad HD display’s ultra-high
performance without losing steam in the middle of the day.
Simply
Captivating
The G3’s advanced 13MP OIS+ camera is designed to
quickly and easily capture life’s special moments as they occur, not
necessarily when you want them to occur. This is made possible with G3’s
innovative Laser Auto Focus, the first of its kind in the smartphone industry.
This technology enables the G3 to capture the best moment — even in low light —
by measuring the distance between the subject and the camera using a laser
beam. So no more fuzzy pictures of your son scoring his first football goal and
or missed shots because your camera couldn’t decide quickly enough which
toddler in the playground to focus on. 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.
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, with the G3, tapping the
subject to focus will simultaneously also trigger the shutter. What’s more, the
G3’s 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. It couldn’t get any simpler than that.
For
video, the G3 offers superior sound quality with instinctive microphones that measure the
environment to identify the optimal audio
level for the clearest recording. And with the
built-in 1W
speaker with Boost
AMP, users can enjoy videos and music accompanied
by richer
sounds and clearer tones.
Balanced and Simplified
Design Language
The Floating Arc design of the G3 with its ergonomic arch and slim
side profile provides an extremely comfortable grip for everyday
one-handed use. The Rear Key continues to anchor LG’s 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’s well-balanced design language. The stylish metallic
skin with
matte finish which keeps the G3 looking clean and fingerprint-free will be
offered in five vibrant colors: Metallic Black, Silk White, Shine Gold,
Moon Violet and Burgundy Red.
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’s
logo, reflecting its unique visual style and identity.
Simplified UX to Reflect Simple Pleasures
In addition to the advanced core technologies, LG took
its Learning from You approach to a
higher level with new UX features to offer G3 users a unique experience unlike any previous LG smartphone. Highlights include:
Smart Notice: Like a personal assistant, 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 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’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 CodeTM 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 G3, users have the option of being able to use KnockON to wake the screen to check the time as well as enter the home screen directly via Knock CodeTM.
- Content Lock keeps personal files safe and hidden from view when sharing the G3 with friends. When the G3 is connected to a PC, Content Lock prevents file previews so the data is still safe. The locked files can reside either on the G3’s internal memory or on the microSD card.
- Kill Switch gives G3 owners the ability to disable their phones remotely in the event of theft. The Kill Switch also allows content on the G3 to be wiped so personal information won’t be compromised. Kill Switch also includes antivirus scanning and remote wipe and lock, among other essential features.
LG will also be offering a collection of new premium accessories to accompany the LG G3:
QuickCircleTM Case: Available in five colors, QuickCircleTM Case allows easy access to frequently used functions such as calling, text messaging, music and camera all from the QuickCircle window without opening the cover. In addition to the QuickCircleTM Case, LG will offer a lineup of Slim Guard Cases and premium Slim Hard Cases to protect the G3 in handsome style.
LG Tone InfinimTM (HBS-900): Developed in collaboration with Harman/Kardon, the Bluetooth stereo headset delivers premium audio quality sound in a stylish design. Built with retractable wire management technology and jog buttons for effortless search, Tone Infinim also features Name AlertTM to verbally notify you who is calling before you answer.
Wireless Charger: Compact and foldable, LG’s Wireless Charger is optimized for easy portability. Compatible with Qi’s wireless power charging technology, the Wireless Charger from LG makes staying powered up as convenient as possible.
Starting on May 28 in South Korea, LG G3 will begin rolling out worldwide on over 170 carriers. Additional details will be announced locally at the time of availability.
