If you are bored with your smartphones, here is LG AKA to the rescue. With four personas (Eggy, Wooky, Soul, Yo-Yo), they are integrated as part of the phone. AKA was first introduced in Korea in 2014. Now, it is available in Singapore.<\/p>\n

LG AKA – THE SMARTPHONE WITH A PERSONALITY<\/h2>\n

Unique Companion Smartphones Born From Same Design DNA as LG Chocolate and LG Ice Cream<\/em><\/p>\n

Singapore, 24 April, 2015 \u2014 <\/strong>LG Electronics (LG) announced the arrival of its fun and customizable AKA smartphone in Singapore. Originally designed for the Korean market, AKA was first introduced in Korea at the end of 2014, where it has seen great response and positive customer feedback for its originality and unique characters.<\/p>\n

AKA is available in four different personas, from Eggy<\/em> in yellow who falls frequently in love, the ever-so-impulsive Wooky<\/em> in white, the soft-hearted and music-loving Soul<\/em> in navy and Yo-Yo<\/em> in pink who loves food. The characters\u2019 personalities are an integral part of each phone as they are woven into wallpapers, widgets and ringtones. In addition to each AKA\u2019s interactive, animated eyes, owners can customize their phones with stickers (provided), markers or paint, for a true DIY experience. This customer-centric thinking helped AKA win an iF Design Award for its unconventional approach to smartphone design.<\/p>\n

AKA has unique UX features such as the included Art Toy figurine, which can be digitized and integrated into the phone\u2019s user experience. Snapping a photo of the accompanying figurine with AKA\u2019s Snapshoot tool creates an animated 3D version of the figure that appears alongside selfies. Other camera features come straight from LG\u2019s premium handsets and include Laser Auto Focus, Touch & Shoot and Gesture Shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cAKA is the first smartphone that gives owners a customized user experience as well as a fun accessory to compliment their individual style,\u201d said Scott Jung, Managing Director of LG Electronics Singapore. \u201cIt brings out our sense of wonder and youth through the freedom of expression, and is a new direction in smartphone UX we are confident will make an impression on the new generation of smartphone users.\u201d<\/p>\n
