LG's G5 Smartphone Wins 33 Awards #MWC2016 @LGSouthAfrica

Hi Guys,

LG Electronics unveiled globally its highly anticipated LG G5 smartphone at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona on 22 February 2016. The world’s best mobile event of the year can be summarized as attracting over 100,000 attendees, from 204 countries and covered by more than 3600 members of the international press and media. LG Electronics amassed a total of 33 awards at the MWC 2016 including the event’s top honor, Best Mobile Handsets & Devices Award, securing status as the most honored company at the show. The wins highlighted the Modular Type innovation behind LG’s latest flagship smartphone, the LG G5 and Friends, demonstrating LG brand strength and equity. Life’s Good When You Play More can definitely be said for LG as G5 fortifies the LG brand in equity and strength. 

The flagship G5 offers a brand new design with a sleek, metal uni-body featuring a Slide-out Battery and a Modular Type design that gives a greater smartphone experience. Complete with LG Friends, a collection of companion devices, the G5 can be transformed into a digital camera, Hi-Fi player and more. The G5 measures 149.4 x 73.9 x 7.7mm, and is not curved like its predecessor, it is smaller and easier to hold thanks to its 5.3-inch display. LG has retained the microSD card slot and removable battery, even with the metal unibody look, it does this with an innovative new design.

“This year LG focused on the design and user experience instead of packing just the latest tech available on the G5,” said Deon Prinsloo, General Manager for LG Mobile South Africa. “The G5 is an ideal example of how the best optimized technologies come together to meet consumers’ needs, catapulting the LG brand as the best company in bringing intelligent product features, intuitive functionality, and exceptional performance.”

There's more than one LG G5 camera on the back of the phone, and that's exciting news if you ever had to back up in order to properly snap a wide photo. It includes both normal angle and wide angle lenses, reaching as far as 135 degrees, wider than the human eye.

The LG G5 offers many other innovations designed to revolutionize today’s mobile lifestyle, such as:

Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 3.0

The LG G5 offers Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 for incredibly fast charging. By employing an intelligent algorithm, Quick Charge 3.0 is 27 percent faster and 45 percent more efficient than the previous generation. 

Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820 Processor

The LG G5 is equipped with the powerful yet energy-efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor that offers advanced features such as 64-bit performance, Adreno 530 graphics and lower-power Hexagon DSP as well as Qualcomm Spectra™ 14-bit dual image signal processors (ISPs) designed to deliver high resolution DSLR-quality images and additional power savings. The Snapdragon 820 processor also has an integrated X12 LTE modem that supports Category 12 download speeds of up to 600 Mbps and LTE Category 13 uplink speeds of up to 150 Mbps.

Compared to the previous Snapdragon 810, Qualcomm Technologies’ most advanced CPU architecture offers double the speed and power savings. Adreno 530 graphics demonstrate up to 40 percent faster graphics performance and up to 40 percent more power efficiency. Snapdragon 820 supports 4K capture and playback at four times more than the resolution of 1080p, enabling users to watch and capture their daily moments in stunning detail and clarity. The processor is also optimized for VR, generating quality pixels and life-like colors to deliver the ultimate VR experience to G5 users.

Looking forward to the phone to be launched in South Africa and check out these amazing new powerful performance features. 

Cheers!!!

@Victorinox and @AcerAfrica Infuse #Smart #Tech into #Lifestyle Products #MWC2016

Hi Guys,

Victorinox, a manufacturer of high quality Swiss lifestyle products, and Acer, one of the world’s top five personal computer companies, announced a partnership to introduce wearable technology into Victorinox Swiss Army’s portfolio. The two companies unveiled their first product resulting from this partnership, a smart accessory for Victorinox Swiss Army’s I.N.O.X. watch collection, at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2016 in Barcelona.

“Our first collaboration with Aceris a wearable device that makes your watch smart, giving it multi-functionality much like our iconic Swiss Army Knife," said Alexander Bennouna, CEO of Victorinox Swiss Army SA. "Our partnership with Acer enables us to introduce a unique solution that combines the best of both worlds - an innovative wearable accessory that adds technology and functionality to an existing I.N.O.X. watch, without compromising its Swiss-made integrity and durability.”

“Acer is excited to partner with Victorinox Swiss Army on this journey that creates a unique and complementing synergy,” said ST Liew, President of Smart Products Business Group, Acer Inc. “With Acer’s extensive knowledge and experience in computing and communication, we are confident that we can extend meaningful and relevant new experiences together to consumers who expect and demand the timeless tradition and craftsmanship of Victorinox Swiss Army.”

A New Chapter for Lifestyle Products

As we move into the digital era of the Internet of Things and the Internet of Beings (with intelligence and insight), consumers expect everyday use items to be increasingly connected. However, consumers also want to preserve the high quality and reliability of traditional craftsmanship. The careful balance of adding a “smart touch” without overpowering the original utility becomes a challenging task. The partnership is formed to create innovative and relevant solutions for consumers who want wearable technology functionality that integrates with existing lifestyle products, such as a much beloved Swiss-made watch.

Acer, with 40 years of experience in computing and communication, and a key player in popularizing personal computing technology around the world in the seventies and eighties, will work closely with Victorinox, a company with 130 years of passion in craftsmanship, tradition, quality, and innovation of lifestyle utilities. Together, Acer and Victorinox will continue to seek to extend the functionality of these utilities, by adding on to the multi-purpose DNA of Victorinox Swiss Army products.

Victorinox produces and sells unique, high quality products worldwide which are of practical use in differing areas of life: Swiss Army Knives, Cutlery, Watches, Travel Gear, Apparel and Fragrances. The head office of the company is in Ibach, Schwyz, in the heart of Switzerland. This is where the founder of the company Karl Elsener first set up his cutler’s business in 1884 and, a few years later, designed the legendary “Original Swiss Army Knife”. To learn more about Victorinox’s portfolio of products please visit www.victorinox.com and http://www.victorinoxwatches.com/en/

Looking forward to this revolutionary products if this comes to South Africa soon. It reminds me of my time in London to have a bagpack from the Victorinox brand and it's still an unfulfilled wish till today as I never got the chance to buy the real Swiss Army Knives or any of their products. 

Cheers!!!
