Expanding LTE Leadership into Tablets to
Meet the Needs of Consumers' Faster Lifestyles
SEOUL, Jan. 18, 2012 -- LG Electronics (LG) today
unveiled its first LTE-capable tablet, the Optimus Pad LTE.
Initially launching in Korea, LG has equipped the tablet
with both LTE technology and True HD IPS display, the two
features that have helped LG differentiate its latest
smartphone, Optimus LTE, from the competition.
"With tablets generating five times more traffic than the
average smartphone, it's not a huge jump to assume that
tablet users need and want faster connectivity," said Dr.
Jongseok Park, President and CEO of LG Mobile
Communications Company. "The combination of LG's LTE
technology with the tablet form factor is a clear advantage
for consumers who use a tablet as their primary consumption
device when on the move."
Boasting the best-in-class in the tablets, LG Optimus Pad
LTE provides the ultimate user environment to enjoy HD
multimedia with a 1280 x 720 True HD IPS display and 8
megapixel camera for shooting high definition video. The
Optimus Pad LTE is also the world's first tablet to support
an SD memory card expandable to 32GB, recognizing the
importance multimedia would play for owners of this
device.
Along with these features, the Optimus Pad LTE offers
easy-to-use controls and functions such as the Smart Movie
Editor for editing pictures and videos more easily.
Moreover, Web Duet allows for e-mailing, messaging and SNS
sharing with search functions, and On-Screen Phone (OSP)
ensures compatibility with LG smartphones.
LG Optimus Pad LTE is extremely portable and aesthetically
pleasing, weighing in at a svelte 479g and only 9.34mm
thin. Equipped with a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor running
Android 3.2 Honeycomb OS, LG's newest tablet guarantees
superior performance. It also supports High Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI) and Digital Living Network
Alliance (DLNA).
