LG EXPANDS 4G SMARTPHONE LINE-UP WITH LG OPTIMUS F5

LG’s Newest Smartphone Delivers Fast 4G LTE Performance

with Advanced User Experience

SINGAPORE, June 6, 2013 – Following its successful unveiling at the 2013 Mobile World Congress, the Optimus F5 — the first device from LG’s newest Optimus F Series — will make its Singapore debut today.

The Optimus F Series is a new family of Android smartphones for consumers who are ready to experience the blazing speeds of 4G LTE without the high costs that normally go with such a device. As a key component of LG’s strategy to make 4G smartphones as ubiquitous as they are fast, the Optimus F5 features LG’s advanced LTE technology and enhanced user experience (UX) features.

As display size and battery life become increasingly important among smartphone con­sumers, the 1.2GHz Qualcomm Dual-Core Optimus F5 addresses user demands by
fea­turing a 4.3-inch IPS display and a compact 2,150mAh battery. LG engineers de­signed the Optimus F5 to deliver longer battery life without creating a larger battery. And the 4.3-inch IPS display offers clear, lifelike images for a superior viewing experi­ence.

The Optimus F5 includes the latest Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 operating system and the best of LG’s innovative and exclusive UX features:

  • QSlide allows users to open multiple apps at the same time in popup window with the ability to change the size, position and transparency of the windows.
  • Live Zooming lets users zoom in on videos so they can get a closer, detailed look at any specific area.
  • Video Wiz lets users play movie director by giving them the power to edit vide­os and enhance them with sound and music right on the phone itself.
  • QuickMemo gives users the ability to write directly on a transparent layer over any captured screen image, eliminating the need to split the screen and allowing both applications to be viewed in full-screen mode simultaneously. Users can share QuickMemo notes with friends via SMS, email or social media channels.
  • QTranslator function instantly translates not only words, but also entire sentenc­es and phrases by simply using the camera to scan the text. QTranslator accepts 44 different languages and can translate them into any one of 64 languages.

With the Optimus F5, we’re confident we can capture the market of new and upgrading smartphone users who crave a feature-rich, LTE device.”
