After the success of LG G3, LG launches yet another premium smartphone, the LG G3 Beat on 17th September. The LG G3 Beat, a fitting sibling of LG G3, is a compact and stylish smartphone that comes with a promising price tag of Rs. 25,000 (MRP) in India. The LG G3 Beat delivers a similar premium user experience, sophisticated Floating Arc metallic design and fast Laser Auto Focus technology featured in the G3 but in a more compact package dominated by a 5.0-inch thin-bezel display, setting it a class above other similarly priced mid-tier devices.
 
LG Electronics India MD, Swoon Koon said," Mobile communications needs to serve the requirements of a growing segment of consumers who are looking for a  balance between style, design, features, and great performance, combined together at a favorable price. The LG G3 Beat represents our commitment to the mid-tier smartphone market that demands mature technology, proven performance, great innovation and an attractive price, all in a single device.”

The LG G3 Beat was developed to address the growing low- to mid-tier segment of smartphone customers who want a great device that’s more compact but still powerful enough to run the most popular apps. With the fast pace of technology in the wireless industry, it’s now more possible than ever to offer a smartphone that does all this but at a lower price point than was previously possible. LG G3 Beat retains the best features and functions of the G3, delivering its values without compromising usability.

The G3 Beat has a spacious 5 inch IPS Display that allows for an enhanced viewing experience, of multimedia and web content in brilliant color and clarity; complemented by an incredibly efficient 2,540 MAH battery for prolonged operational use.

The G3 Beat incorporates an 8 MP OIS+ Laser Auto Focus Camera, that reduces blurring, and the laser measures the distance to the object instantly, resulting in perfect quality pictures. The impressive camera also allows for brighter, clearer pictures even under dark environmental conditions. With its quick focus adjustment, it captures images instantaneously. With the utility of Touch and Shoot, the G3 Beat simplifies the process of taking shots. Now it is possible to take a perfect shot with just one touch.

                                             

Furthermore, the G3 Beat also includes LG’s patented unlocking mechanism, the Knock Code, a customized locking pattern of three to eight taps, which allows for 86,000 possible combinations to wake and unlock the smartphone.

The Smart Keyboard feature of G3 Beat, is an adaptive technology that is customized to fit user needs, providing natural navigation and reliable word recognition. The technology learns user typing patterns, for an accurate and faster typing experience. It also provides for personalization through keyboard height adjustment and settings for customization of frequently used keys with specific symbols.
 
The LG G3 Beat’s UX has been inherited from its big brother the LG G3 that includes its sensuously slim body design, the advanced rear keys, the Quick Memo+ and the Knock Code tracing its origin back to LG’s well known ideology ‘Simple is the New Smart’. The LG G3 Beat will be available in India in three colour variants - metallic black, shine gold and silk black and a Snap-On Case with multiple color options.
