LG Electronics expands budget mobile portfolio with latest launches

The new releases - KG320, KG220 and KG245 - join LG's impressive line-up of slim, attractive and powerful communication devices and demonstrate the company's commitment to technological innovation.

"LG Electronics is committed to offering its customers a wide range of best-in-class devices," explained C.H. Lee, President of LG Electronics Gulf FZE.

"Our latest releases are all-in-one handsets that provide both sophisticated communications as well as multimedia capabilities. They also show that highly advanced communications devices can be affordable too."

Topping the list of new releases is the KG320, a sleek 'candybar' phone that is 9.9 mm thick. It features an easy-to-use navigation pad. The KG320 does not skimp on features - a 1.3 mega-pixel camera, 128 MB of flash memory, and MP3/MPEG/AAC support, and USB connectivity are all packed in its compact and light-weight design.

The elegant-looking KG320 boasts a 1000-entry phonebook and a 1.77-inch 176 x 220 pixel screen capable of displaying up to 256k colors. Its 1.3 mega-pixel camera with LED flash can also shoot videos in MPEG 4 format.

The KG 320 also supports Bluetooth connectivity and includes a USB 1.1 port.

For clamshell aficionados, LG has launched the neat KG245 and KG220 handsets. Combining functionality with effortless design, both KG245 and KG220 hold a multitude of easy-to-use technology beneath their sleek exteriors.

For consumers who wish to capture their most memorable moments, both handsets offer quality camera and video capabilities including built-in flash, all displayed on the crystal-clear 65k colour display. With the exciting zoom-in / zoom-out camera function, close up and landscape shots are no longer the preserve of professional photographers.

Style meets sophistication in the KG220 handset, a features-rich yet light-weight phone that includes a high-resolution digital camera, a vibrant colour screen, tri-band, embedded GPRS/Java technology, polyphonic ringtones, along with MMS and WAP 2.0 capabilities.
