Discover the future of mobile technology with LG

We have seen the standard of mobile technology change drastically over the last few years. Cellphones have gone from being bulky devices with functions limited to voice calls and SMSing to state-of-the-art gadgets that complement an on-the-go lifestyle. 

 

The advancement and innovation that has taken place in the mobile space would not have been possible without the forward-thinking mentality of technology giants such as LG.

 

“The smartphone handset market, along with 5G carrier connectivity, is set to evolve significantly over the next few years and LG has the depth of experience and diversity of product knowledge to meet the changing consumer landscape,” explained Deon Prinsloo, Mobile General Manager at LG. 

 

“We have every intention of growing our mobile footprint in Southern Africa and thriving in this environment where LG has to date, demonstrated our product leadership through multiple 5G device releases,” he added.

 

One such device is the newly released LG Velvet 5G smartphone – the company’s third 5G handset in South Africa. Boasting affordable 5G accessibility and strategically placed local carriers, LG continues its commitment to empowering locals with access to next-level productivity, entertainment and applications.

 

A sleek, beautifully designed life companion

 

One of the most obvious evolutions smartphones have gone through is in their appearance. From their initial brick-like designs to the responsive, touch phones of today, impressive displays are the new norm. Even so, the 6.8" Cinematic FullVision 3D Arc Display of the brand-new LG Velvet 5G smartphone is breaking boundaries. The sleek, colourful design with its eye-catching finish shines to create the illusion of velvet. 

 

Improved functionality

 

Gone are the days where a cellphone was just used for phone calls and messaging. As the name implies, smartphones are a whole lot, well, smarter. 

 

Video calling is now an everyday occurrence, which means that you need to have a good camera and a stable network to make the most of it. The LG Velvet 5G’s 48-megapixel main camera combined with unique camera software is what you need to capture vivid videos, hyper-realistic photos and, of course, flattering selfies.

 

And to make sure that all your content downloads and uploads instantly? 5G technology. 5G is the latest cellular technology that has been designed to enable faster internet speeds and responsiveness to wireless networks. Social media apps will load in the blink of an eye, and movies will be streamed without lag or buffering – to name but a few advantages. 

 

Another key feature that consumers are looking for in a smartphone is the use of artificial intelligence to make life a lot simpler. With AI Sound, the LG Velvet 5G analyses over 17 million sounds to recognise what you're listening to and apply the ideal audio settings. This means crisp, room-filling music and more lifelike movie sounds. 

 

A smartphone that lasts

 

LG knows that battery power is important when it comes to choosing a smartphone - that’s why the all-day battery life of the Velvet 5G is so appealing. But there are other aspects to consider. A waterproof, dustproof phone is often seen as a luxury, but when your phone is always attached to you, accidents happen. The solution? A Military Standard Approved smartphone.

 

Imagining something bulky? Fear not. LG's Velvet 5G is military approved, all while maintaining a sleek, sophisticated design. 

 

The future of mobile technology is exciting, and the innovative ways that tech companies like LG have found to pack a ton of impressive features into smartphones leave us excited to see what's next.
