LG Optimus 7, LG’s first Windows® Phone 7 device, is a direct result of the partnership between LG and Microsoft in the smartphone market. Among its innovative features include augmented reality (AR) ScanSearch, DLNA-based Play To and Voice-to-Text, which are available as Live Tiles on Windows® Phone 7 and can be accessed through integrated “Hubs”.
“We have designed LG Optimus 7 series to include a truly innovative content sharing experience via the Windows Phone 7 environment,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, chief executive and president of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Having worked closely with Microsoft to develop these fantastic devices, we are thrilled to now be able to reveal our vision of what a true Windows Phone 7 should be.”
Andy Lees, head of the Mobile Communications Business at Microsoft, added: “We are very excited to be working with LG, a mobile phone industry innovator. Windows® Phone 7 is designed to bring together what you care about most and LG is a key partner in making that experience a reality for people around the world.”
Consumers will have a chance to see the new LG Optimus 7 at the LG Optimus 7 Experiential Zone at Wisma Atria from October 15 to 17.
The LG Optimus 7 will be available nationwide through all telcos and major telecommunications outlets later this month. The recommended retail price for the device is yet to be announced.
