New LG smartphone will be available from this weekend

LG Electronics (LG) has announced that its recently launched LG V30+ smartphone will be available to customers in Qatar this coming weekend. The LG V30+ created strong interest at this year’s IFA 2017 in Berlin, winning 26 awards, the most for LG at the annual trade show,” the South Korean electronics major explained in a statement. To best deliver consumers’ preference for big screens in small bodies, LG engineers squeezed a 6-inch, 18:9 FullVision display into a frame that is 8mm shorter and 3mm narrower than its predecessor. Sheathed front and back in tempered glass that curls around its edges, the V30+ weighs only 158g, making it the lightest smartphone in the 6-inch and over smartphone category. “The V30+ was designed to help consumers best capture the experiences that make up our life stories,” said Yong Geun Choi, president of LG Electronics Gulf. The phone features many industry innovations, including the first F1.6 aperture and glass lens in a smartphone camera, the ability to produce near professional quality movies and videos by shooting in LG-Cine Log format and the smartphone industry’s first OLED display in FullVision format.The F1.6 aperture lens of the main camera captures more light for brighter-than-ever shots. The Crystal Clear Lens is composed of glass, a material usually only found in higher-end cameras that delivers more accurate colours and crisper images than traditional plastic lenses.As a video capture tool, the V30+ is equipped with Cine Video mode. Cine Effect features 15 different presets that emulate genres from romantic comedy to summer blockbuster. And industry-first Point Zoom allows one to zoom in on any subject in the frame, not only the centre object. LG-Cine Log saves files while preserving a wide dynamic range and colour gamut to allow for more adjustments in post-production. All this, when combined with the QHD+ (2880 x 1440) OLED FullVision display, offers faster response times and minimises afterimages for the ideal Google Daydream VR experience.The LG V30+ smartphone will be available at all leading electronics retail stores across Qatar from this weekend for QR3,199.
