LG's Upcoming Smartphones and LG Optimus G Pro Specifications

While many other players are discussed by bloggers and techies about Micromax, Samsung etc.  and competition is heated up in the market, none of us could forget the LG with its 'Optimus series'. I have started my smartphone usage with Optimus one P500. Some of their Nexus series are very popular in many countries including the US. Few of their latest Optimus series like G7 & G9 couldn't catch up the Indian market. However, LG is one of the best in after sale service with its 600 equipped centres across India.

The reason could be its pricing matching the specifications when others occupied with their quad core phones for just above Rs. 10,000. The recent launch of their high end android smartphone is ‘LG Optimus G Pro’ released for Rs, 42,000 that is equivalent to 'Apple iPhone 5S'.

Managing Director of LG India 'Soon Kwon' told that they are going to promote their smartphone business in India and would spend 800 million to increase LG’s Indian Market share from 5% to 10%. He also said that LG would introduce around 30 models before the end of the year 2013 ranging from 10000 to 45000. He also indicated that LG has developed  'silicon oxide batteries' on their own that have higher power denseness, lower charging time and thinner than the predecessor Li-ion batteries. This is new in battery technology.

It was told that they have an idea of increasing size of retailers from 16,000 to 19,000 and aiming to boost services provided at door step by engineers.
