Users will see things differently with the widened 21:9 panoramic display that establishes a new level of visual comfort for the reading of web pages and e-mail and dramatically brings videos and games to life with cinema-like screen. Going wide also allows for the dual screen era to finally be brought to handsets for enhanced usability, which when combined with LG’s upgraded and intuitive S-Class UI brings a whole new meaning to the words “user friendly”.
“Minimalistic and sleek, the new LG Chocolate will dramatically change the way we interact with our phones,” said Mr. Raymond Hernandez, Corporate Marketing Head of LG Electronics Philippines. “The new Chocolate reflects the originality and sophistication of the Black Label Series and like its predecessor; we are confident that the new Chocolate will create its own legacy and further enhance our standing in the market.”
