Karachi: LG announced that its most advanced and
feature-rich smartphone, Optimus G, has been recognized by the Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering Awards in the
Wireless Handsets Category. The Optimus G was awarded on the basis of its
technical specifications, aesthetics, design and how the device compares in
these categories to others in the market.
Since its introduction in the third quarter of
2012, the Optimus G has received accolades from around the world. The
smartphone received a Korea Electronic Show (KES) Innovation Award for its
Zerogap Touch technology, which improves the durability and clarity of the
display by eliminating air gaps found in other touchscreens. In design, the
Optimus G also received the iF Design Product Award in November 2012.
In addition, Optimus G is not only a sleek device
with blazing fast performance, but also is a device that is considerate of
environment. The Sprint version of Optimus G in the USA is ULE Platinum
Certified, the highest level of environmental performance recognized by sustainable
requirements established by UL Environment and Sprint, and the device also
received CarbonFree® Product Certification from the Carbonfund.org Foundation,
a leading organization in the fight against global warming and an authority on
evaluating the impact individuals and businesses have on the environment.
In addition to the awards, the Optimus G has
received very positive reviews from various technology media. The product was
selected as the best Android smartphone by Korean consumers, beating out very
strong handheld devices from competing manufacturers. The Optimus G was ranked
the number one smartphone by the leading consumer magazine in the US, receiving
the highest score among competing devices. The phone has also been receiving a
positive market response in Japan, placing high in the best selling rankings
after only one week of its launch.
“Our company’s mobile expertise and innovative
technologies are the basis of these accomplishments,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park,
president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “I am
confident LG can lead the next stage of the global LTE smartphone market with
competitiveness in hardware technologies and enhanced UX features that were
first introduced in the Optimus G.”
