LG’s First Quad-Core Smartphone Coming to Canada This October
LG Optimus 4X HD with Advanced User Experience (UX) Offers Fast
Performance, Superb IPS Display and High Capacity Battery
TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2012 /CNW/ – LG Electronics (LG) Canada announced
today that the Optimus 4X HD will debut in Canada in October and will
be available through WIND Mobile and Videotron.
Beyond the fast NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, LG’s latest Android 4.0 device
boasts a higher density battery for more power and longer run times and
a superb high resolution viewing experience with its 4.7-inch True HD
IPS display. Since its debut at Mobile World Congress, the Optimus 4X
HD has been upgraded with new SiO+ battery technology, Quick Memo to
enhance productivity, and Media Plex for an advanced multimedia
experience.
“The Optimus 4X HD offers incredible speed and performance without
compromising battery life,” said Geoff McMurdo, Vice President Mobile
Communications, LG Electronics Canada. “Users want intuitive software
and beautiful hardware and the Optimus 4X HD is another proof point
that LG is a strong player in both areas.”
The Optimus 4X HD is fitted with NVIDIA’s 4-PLUS-1 Quad-Core mobile
processor, the Tegra(®) 3, which utilizes a fifth core for the best blend of outstanding
performance and power efficiency. For maximum performance, Tegra(®) 3 runs on all four cores, but when in standby mode the processor
defaults to the fifth, battery-saver core. In a future upgrade, LG will
introduce Eco-Mode specifically for the Optimus 4X HD which will allow
users to manually shut down any of the Tegra 3′s cores for even more
control over power consumption and performance.
Enhanced User Experience
-- QuickMemo - allows users to write, draw, or jot a memo with
their finger directly on any captured screen for instant
sharing as an attachment or URL
-- Media Plex - a collection of software features that take image
and video playback on the smartphone to a level that until now
was only possible on a PC or laptop. Some innovative features
include:
o Fingertip Seek that shows a preview of any video frame simply by
touching the progress bar;
o Live Zooming allowing viewers to zoom in and out by pinching during
video playback;
o Video Speed Control for precise control of the playback speed of
videos; Thumbnail List Play which enables users to view thumbnails
of videos playing while watching another video full screen.
-- Time Catch Shot- captures images just before camera shutter
button is depressed on the 8.0 MPBSI (backside illumination)
camera - ensuring you get the best shot every time
