LG rolls out LG-GD900 world's first transparent handset
MUMBAI: LG has launched LG-GD900, tipped to be world's first transparent phone. It is also the first phone to feature LG's next generation touch technology and Gesture Command, which complements the 3D S-Class User Interface.
The handset's crystal slide-down touchpad first appears to just be an alphanumeric keypad, but it actually doubles as a touchpad for controlling the phone. It can be used like the trackpad on a laptop computer but also recognizes handwriting, responds to multi-touch commands and enables a new way of navigation called Gesture Command. Gesture Shortcuts reduce the amount of steps required to access multi-tasking features. For instance, users can immediately jump to the web browser in the middle of writing an e-mail by tracing a symbol on the crystal touchpad with their finger.
The crystal touchpad is completely transparent and illuminated with a soft glow. This scratch resistant design made from tempered glass and reinforced by a band of Liquid metal ensuring extended use.
The handset features an 8 megapixel autofocus camera that displays photos on a high resolution 3-inch WVGA LCD touchscreen and with the auto-rotating display, photos look great every time. The handset also has a MP3 player and can hold up to 32GB of music, photos or data using the expandable memory card slot. The phone is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing user to connect to the internet via wireless hotspots and it also supports Bluetooth 2.1 for secure, high-speed connectivity to other devices.
Priced at Rs 26,000, the phone is available in the hues of Chrome and Titen.
