At this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, LG Electronics (LG) has showcased a diverse collection of mobile innovations including the intriguing G Flex2, premium wearable devices and a new mid-range smartphone lineup. 
These products will soon be making their way to the Qatar market and will be available across Jumbo Electronics showrooms once launched. Video Home is the sole distributor of LG products in Qatar.
Under the theme of Innovation for a Better Life, these new products were displayed in four distinct zones designed to represent LG’s strategy for the year ahead.

G Flex2 Zone: Redefining the Curve
The G Flex2 is LG’s most advanced smartphone on the market today, designed with a curved display that is both ergonomic and aesthetic. The 5.5-inch Full HD display adds excitement to the viewing experience by providing realistic and crisp images. Powerful performance and intuitive UX features round out the smartphone highlighting LG’s leadership in both design and the technology.
 
Mass-tier Lineup Zone: Affordable Premium
LG unveiled for the first time its new lineup of mid-range smartphones that are designed to bring the benefits and features of premium handsets to a broader range of consumers. All four models — Magna, Spirit, Leon and Joy — offer premium designs, in-cell touch displays and UX features of the G Series such as Gesture Shot and Glance View. The four devices will be available in both LTE and 3G versions for a perfect balance in style and usability.
 
Wearables Zone: Perfect Harmony of Fashion and Technology
LG showed two new smartwatch-styled wearable devices for the first time at MWC 2015. With a classical and cosmopolitan design, the LG Watch Urbane recaptures the beauty of a luxury timepiece. The LG Watch Urbane LTE is the world’s first smartwatch to offer LTE and NFC capabilities. This unique device can make VoLTE calls or send and receive data without connecting to a smartphone. And the LG Watch Urbane LTE can function as a walkie-talkie with its push-to-talk (PPT) feature to connect to multiple parties simultaneously. And with NFC, LG Watch Urbane LTE can make mobile payments and connect with today and tomorrow’s smart cars.
 “We are excited about this year’s MWC where we’ll be introducing a strong lineup of 170 products that represent LG’s varied technological interests,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company at the start of the MWC. “From smartphones to wearables to the Internet of Things, we are confident in our ability to not only participate, but to lead. Our presence here at Mobile World Congress will demonstrate that.”
