LG G6 OFFERS ULTIMATE USER CONVENIENCE

AND PRODUCTIVITY WITH FULLVISION DISPLAY

Unique 18:9 Screen Aspect Ratio and Complementary UX

Enables Unparalleled Consumption of Mobile Content

SEOUL, February 16, 2017
— LG
Electronics (LG) will feature its new mobile UX 6.0 in its upcoming G6
smartphone specifically customized to maximize the advantages of the device’s expansive
FullVision® display. LG G6
will feature a 5.7-inch QHD+ FullVision
display (2,880 x 1,440) with an 18:9 screen aspect ratio that almost entirely fills
the front of the smartphone. The dimensions of the phone are ergonomically
designed to ensure maximum comfort and compatibility with existing and upcoming
digital content.

The
phone’s new UX maximizes the benefits of the FullVision display, providing the user with the ultimate
convenience and advances, such as:

A
Differentiated Experience

The
FullVision display in the LG G6
provides users with a new viewing experience. The large screen features an
expanded top and bottom that allows users to view more information when surfing
the web, or while reading e-books and provides a more immersive experience when
users view videos or play games.

The
LG G6 is expected to kick off an era of premium smartphones with 18:9 screen
aspect ratios, which is why such a wide variety of films, apps and games
tailored to the 18:9 aspect ratio is sharply rising. The smartphone includes a feature
that allows users to view existing 16:9 ratio content easily in 18:9 format.

Enhanced
Camera UX

The
camera UX has been considerably enhanced thanks to the expansive 18:9 screen     aspect ratio display in a way that
increases the convenience and the fun. The expansive screen enables users to
take and review photos simultaneously. LG UX 6.0 provides a Square Camera feature which divides the 18:9 display into two identical
perfect squares. With this, users can shoot images in 1:1 format –  a popular format on social media apps such as
Instagram – and review them in the adjacent window. There is also new shooting
mode called Food Mode that delivers
high color quality and saturation ideal for, well, food. Users can create GIF
files by combining anywhere from 2 and 100 pictures in a loop.

Advanced
Multi-tasking

The
LG G6 takes advantage of the expansive 18:9 display in many ways. Open a call
reception window next to the calendar app or the photo gallery at the same time
as the message app. Multiple square photographs can be connected together and viewed
as a Collage Wallpaper on the lock
screen. Type a memo on one side while surfing the web on the other. Inside the
calendar app, turning the G6 horizontally will display the calendar in the left
window while a detailed schedule will appear on the right. The combinations are
endless.

“The
LG G6 with FullVision was inspired by the philosophy of experts in the movie
industry who believe that an 18:9 ratio screen would be the best solution for
viewing both old and new cinematic content in the digital age,” said Juno Cho,
president of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We’ve not only
embraced that philosophy in our newest smartphone but taken it to a whole new
level by incorporating the 18:9 format in many other ways. I think users will
appreciate the many ways we’ve made the LG G6 more productive.”

The
LG G6 with UX 6.0 will be introduced to audiences worldwide at MWC 2017 in
Barcelona, Spain on February 26. Click here for a video preview of the new LG UX 6.0.
