LG Electronics (LG) unveiled its highly anticipated LG G5 smartphone that delivers greater smartphone experience. Encased in a sleek metal aluminum body and slide-out battery, the LG G5 surpasses the visual experience of its predecessor, the LG G4.
“The new LG G5 rediscovers the true joy of a mobile life,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The G5 and LG Friends are the result of many experts inside LG asking themselves if it was still possible to be innovative and unique in the smartphone space. I think once customers spend a little time with the LG G5, their answer will be a resounding yes”.
“LG today is shaking the smart mobiles market with a revolutionary attractive smartphone; the LG G5”, said Eddie Jun, President of LG Electronics Saudi Arabia. He added: “The consumer will enjoy high-quality smartphone at affordable prices and many entertaining features not found on any other phones on the market. Our goal is to be on the top smartphone makers in the world with proven products that fulfill our brand promise to make consumers’ lives easier.”
