A new cellphone developed by LG has been recently spotted at the FCC website, more specifically the LG VB530 which can be considered a big brother of the VN250 which was presented at CTIA 2010.
Anyway, the upcoming LG VB530 has some features that were missing on the VN250, such as a useful MP3 player. Other features include a QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, and GPS. Sadly this is only information of the cellphone at this moment, but as always we’ll keep you updated.
LG Electronics and iRiver unveiled new mobile phone, namely LG LB4400. It has appears in late May 2010. The handset has brings multimedia capabilities.
LG LB4400 phone packs music player, working with MP3, AAC, FLAC, OGG and WAV format. The sound quality and interface of the player is produced by iRiver. It also supports Dolby Mobile and has a 3.5mm headphone jack with touch key playback control at bottom of the front panel.
The LG LB4400 multimedia phone sports a 2.8-inch touchscreen TFT display with resolution of 240×400 pixels (WQVGA), a 3MP camera, Bluetooth v2.1, 8GB flash storage, a microSD card slot (up to 16GB), T-DMB, USB 2.0, and 900 mAh battery with providing up to 40 hours of battery life in music mode.
Dimensions of LG LB4400 are 114×50×12.1 mm and weight 96g. It will be available in white, orange and brown color options.
LG announced a new touchscreen slate recently called the Viewty Snap (GM360). It packs a 3″ touchscreen, Bluetooth 2.1, FM radio, social networking apps, including Facebook, and push e-mail. The phone supports a variety of document and media viewing, so it should do well as both a business and pleasure device. I’m going to presume that “Optic-all” means optical zoom on the 5 megapixel camera with LED flash. You can take pictures in low light and in continuous shooting (good for fast-moving targets), as well as upload with one touch to your social networks.
LG may be the world’s third largest phone maker, but when it comes to Android (and smartphones in general), it’s far behind other companies.
Until now, LG announced five Android handsets: LG GW620, LG Optimus GT540 , LG Ally for Verizon, LG Optimus Q LU2300 and LG SU2300.
HTC, Samsung and Motorola have more Android phones than LG, and they all have at least one high-end model – sure, the LU2300 and SU2300 are also high-end, but they’re made for Korea only, and thus they don’t count when we’re talking about the global market.
Perhaps because of its not-that-impressive smartphone portfolio, LG Mobile’s operating profit sales dropped to 0.9% in the first quarter of 2010 (from 6.7% a year ago).
In the light of these facts, LG plans to make an aggressive push into the smartphone market: the company intends to launch 20 Android devices by the end of 2010.
In early 2009, LG committed itself to making Windows Mobile its main smartphone OS, but things have definitely changed since then with the rise of Android, and Microsoft’s late launch of Windows Phone 7. So it looks like, this year at least, LG (like many other handset makers) is betting on Android. It will have a WP7 handset, too, but that may not help the company’s profits much.
AT&T will soon start selling a new LG cellphone, more specifically the LG GU292, which can be considered an average mobile device and so far it doesn’t have a price tag.
In terms of specifications the LG GU292 boats a 2-inch display screen that provides a resolution of 176×220 pixels, supports 3G as well as EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA, and the internal memory has 100MB of storage capacity. The battery life can last 6 hours in talking, or close to 504 hours in stand-by mode. Other features include GPS, playback of audio files like MP3, AAC, WMA, and support for microSD or microSDHC memory cards.
LG French has announced the launch of a new edition of its mobile phone, the LG GD510 Twilight Edition.
New version of handset is a LG POP GD510 that is dedicated to the latest Twilight Movie. The premiere of movie will take place on 7th July in France.
LG GD510 Twilight Edition phone will be pre-loaded with content of Twilight movie. The LG Twilight Edition GD510 will be sale about €199 via Orange France.
As mentions, LG GD510 is packs a 3-inch touchscreen display with resolution of 240×400 pixels (WQVGA), a 3MP camera, a microSD card slot, Bluetooth, and so on.This special edition of the GD510 has eight tie-in wallpapers and an embellished back cover. It will also include a free copy of Twilight: New Moon. Clearly, this is meant to hype up the release of Twilight: Eclipse.
Announced in February as the successor of the LG KS360, the LG GT350 is now shipping to European markets (including the UK and Germany) with a new name: LG Town.
The launch of LG Town GT350 represents the debut of LG’s new Town Series, which will include phones focused on social networking services.
The Town GT350 itself comes with a special user interface (apparently based on the S-Class UI) “designed to make it easier than ever to enjoy real-time interaction with friends on popular social networks” like Facebook, Twitter or Orkut. The handset also features a 3 inch WQVGA (240 x 400) touchscreen display, full QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi (to compensate for the lack of 3G), Bluetooth 2.1, FM radio, 2MP camera, and MicroSD card support.
The price of LG Town GT350 will be announced separately for each market. In Italy, for example, where the phone is called LG Tribe Next, it will cost €149 ($183).
