TORONTO, Feb. 13, 2019 /CNW/ – At Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019, LG Electronics (LG) will introduce Crystal Sound OLED (CSO), an innovative technology that uses the phone’s OLED display as an audio amplifier, on the LG G8 ThinQ.
With more and more consumers using smartphones as their primary devices for watching movies, playing games and listening to music, the demand for mobile phones capable of delivering high-quality audio is larger than ever. LG has always recognized the importance of best-in-class smartphone audio in creating the ultimate user experience and this belief continues with the LG G8 ThinQ.
Developed in-house by LG, CSO repurposes the OLED display as a speaker, vibrating the entire surface to produce sound with impressive volume and range. Since LG’s unique technology takes advantage of the entire display, CSO also improves clarity, making voices easier to discern and subtle musical notes more noticeable.
In speakerphone mode, audio is delivered with impressive bass through the bottom speaker. Full-bodied stereo performance is possible with a 2-channel setup, sending audio out of the bottom speaker and through the top third of the display.
By working closely with audio partner Meridian, LG again brings exceptional sound fidelity to the mobile experience, delivering fine-tuned audio quality that consumers have come to expect from the company’s premium handsets. What’s more, LG’s newest G series phone features:
- DTS:X 3D Surround Sound to emulate a 7.1-channel system with or without earphones, a first for LG.
- 32-Bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC elevates the listening experience by reproducing sound with exceptional fidelity with the added ability to up-sample most audio files for increased clarity and depth.
- Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) support for high-quality audio streaming even without an unlimited data plan.
- Boombox Speaker takes advantage of the internal space of the phone as a resonance chamber to generate amazing bass and more volume.
“Our commitment to driving smartphone audio to new heights is on clear display in LG G8 ThinQ,” said Chang Ma, senior vice president and head of product strategy at LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “By developing new technologies as well as working closely in partnership with the audio industry’s best, LG will continue to deliver the quality of sound that consumers demand and deserve.”
Visitors to MWC in Barcelona are encouraged to visit the LG booth from February 25-28 to experience Crystal Sound OLED and the LG G8 ThinQ along with many other mobile innovations.
