Press Release

LG Electronics (LG) today unveiled the new flagship G-Series model, the LG G4, which will be available across Oman from 5^th of June. Once again redefining the smartphone industry, the LG G4, aspires to spark consumers with the most ambitious user experience, cutting edge technology, sophisticated design, and functionality.

The LG G4 is focused on providing exceptional performance. Its leather finish and brilliant edge-to-edge 5.5 inch Quantum display provides an unsurpassed visual experience and a sleek design. The LG G4 captures engaging images with its 16 mega pixel camera and a rare-in-smartphone F1.8 aperture lens. The new lens allows 80 percent more light to hit the image sensor than in the LG G3. The innovative camera module is paired with the new IPS Quantum Display that surpasses the innovative Quad HD display introduced to the world in the LG G3. The LG G4 embodies intuitiveness through its Slim Arc exterior design and graphical user interface.

Speaking on the launch of the LG G4 in Oman, “We are ecstatic to reveal our flagship mobile to the Sultanate. It represents our relentless commitment to provide innovation that best meets consumers’ needs and expectations. Surrounded by mountains, sands and the seas, we believe that the LG G4 truly caters to the Omani nature with its ability to capture brilliant images,” said Mr. D. Y. Kim, President LG Electronics, Gulf FZE. “We wanted to give consumers a truly human-centric device powered with technologies that deliver real world performance. This is the most ambitious phone we have ever created.”

Comfortable & Elegant Design

The LG G4 is available in handcrafted, genuine full grain leather in six beautiful colors. Other material options for the G4 rear cover include pure Ceramic White with 3D patterns, artisan-forged Metallic Gray as well lustrous Shiny Gold. The comfortable elegance of the LG G4 is defined by the Slim Arc, which runs along its entire body, highlighted by a display with a subtle curvature.

Great Visual Experience

LG designed the 16MP camera in the LG G4 to capture beautiful images, even under less than ideal lighting conditions. The camera module features a wide F1.8 aperture lens that allows 80 percent more light to reach the sensor and greatly improves low-light performance even further with its OIS 2.0.  

New for G4, Manual Mode allows experienced photographers the ability to exercise more artistic expression by letting them directly control the focus, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation and white balance for every shot. Advanced photographers can also save their photos in RAW format, in addition to JPEG. The advanced camera in the LG G4 is complemented by Color Spectrum Sensor (CSS), the first feature of its kind to find its way into a smartphone.

For selfies good enough to frame, LG included an industry-leading 8MP front-facing camera for sharp, detailed portraits and group shots. Gesture Interval Shot improves on the original Gesture Shot feature by taking four shots spaced two seconds apart, increasing the chance of getting that perfect shot under the most difficult conditions. Triggering the shutter is as simple as opening and closing one’s hand twice in front of the camera.

Taking a quantum leap in display technology, the LG G4 is the first smartphone to use LG Display’s new 5.5-inch IPS Quantum Display, which offers 20 percent greater color reproduction, 25 percent improvement in brightness and 50 percent greater contrast. It is the first Quad HD display to employ Advanced In-Cell Touch (AIT) technology, which combines the LCD and touch sensor into a single layer to provide better color reproduction and touch sensitivity.

With G4, the higher quality display doesn’t come at the expense of battery life thanks to its high-capacity 3,000mAh removable battery, combined with the snappy yet energy-thrifty Qualcomm^® Snapdragon™ 808 processor.

Human-Centric UX

The LG G4 is the first phone to utilize the new human-centric UX 4.0 that promises to be simpler and more intuitive to better understand and respond to the needs of each user. The improved UX eliminates unnecessary steps while providing more configuration options and features for advanced users including the new: Quick Shot feature, Gallery feature, Memories feature, Event Pocket feature, an improved Smart Notice feature and of course the all-important and improved Quick Help feature. In addition to this Google Office comes pre-installed on the LG G4 for easy collaboration on-the-go and G4 owners will receive an additional 100GB of Google Drive storage free for two years.
