Telecom Lead Asia: LG Electronics has rolled one more Android smartphone in the Optimus series by launching Optimus L5II in Brazil.
The Korean electronics giant is targeting 3G markets in the world.
LG is planning to unveil both the single and Dual SIM Optimus L5II — with Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 OS — in South and Central America, Europe, Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Africa.
LG on Monday said Optimus L5II features Seamless Layout crafted to fit in the hand. The new smartphone’s sleek design with Laser Cut Contour, Radiant Rear Design made of premium materials and Smart LED Lighting around the home button are the other attraction to mobile users.
Customers will benefit as LG’s Smart LED Lighting alerts the user to missed calls and messages – among other notifications – with various colors.
New UX enhancements include Quick Button, which enables users to customize the Hotkey to launch various functions such as QuickMemo, camera, internet, music or any other app. Quick Button can be programmed so that in camera preview mode, pressing the button captures the photo and activates QuickMemo at the same time so editing and sending images can be performed with less time and effort.
The Optimus L5II is equipped with Safety Care, allowing the user to alert pre-selected recipients in urgent situations with three useful functions that include Emergency Call Forwarding, Phone Non-Usage and My Location Notice.
Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications, said. “We believe that the Optimus L5II will prove to be irresistible to people looking for a feature-rich smartphone that complements their unique and individual styles.”
