New Delhi: The LG G4 is the first phone to come with the new "human-centric" custom mobile software UX 4.0 that is claimed to be simpler and more intuitive. The improved UX, according to LG, eliminates unnecessary steps while providing more configuration options for users.
Here are some highlights of the new software:
1. Quick Shot allows customers to take pictures without opening the camera app by tapping the power button on the back twice while the display is off. The phone, as LG says, has a fast camera startup time of just six-tenths of a second.
2. LG claims that the new Gallery in the G4 makes it fast to scroll through thousands of pictures and view them on a timeline. The Memories feature automatically organises photos and videos into event albums based on the time and place they were taken, without having to upload to the cloud. As much as LG tries to be different, the layout of the G4's photo gallery resembles the iPhone's. In an interview, LG's mobile chief, Juno Cho, said "felt that kind of experience is important for the customer."
3. Event Pocket allows users to create one, unified calendar by dragging and dropping appointments and activities from multiple calendars and social media sites. After the initial setup, there's no need to log into multiple calendars.
4. The improved Smart Notice provides more personalised notifications for weather, travel and more by analysing habits, such as how a user commutes to work. This allows Smart Notice to issue personalised messages such as, "Make sure to take an umbrella on your way to the subway."
5. Quick Help allows users to search for instant answers to any questions about operating the LG G4, right in the Smart Notice widget. Quick Help can guide users through the LG G4's settings and even schedule a call with customer service.
