LG has announced today that its proprietary UX features, first introduced in the new LG G3 smartphone, will now be incorpoated as standard features in its upcoming mid- to entry-level smartphones and tablets. LG has claimed that its UX features of G3 “have been positively received by both customers and industry experts with many bestowing high praise for its user-friendly enhancements. The 2014 Red Dot Communication Design Award judges also applauded the LG G3, with a total of three “Best of the Best” awards for its intuitive UX features”.
The prominent LG G3 UX features enhance the capabilites of the camera such as a simplified camera displaying only the most frequently used menu; Touch & Shoot, which helps capture special moments quickly and intuitively by letting users tap anywhere on the display to focus and trigger the shutter in one single step, eliminating a time-consuming two-step process. Gesture Shot makes taking selfies simple and fun. Clean View offers a full, clutter-free preview interface by removing all camera menu icons from the screen.
The other useful UX feature is Smart Keyboard, which reduces input error by up to 75 percent by tracking and analyzing typing habits and intuitively “knowing” what words the user intended to type. The smart keyboard can also be re-sized as per the requirments of the user. Individual keys can be customized with frequently used symbols for even faster input.
“With the basic principles of the G3’s UX features rooted in making complex technologies simple and convenient, our goal was to provide consumers with a user experience they genuinely need and want,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Standardizing these features across our entry- and mid-tier mobile products is just a natural extension of our desire to make every LG device feel premium and unique.”
