LG NP8540 wireless speakers system

Whole-house music streaming was another big draw at CES 2014.  LG previewed two of its all-in-one speakers – the NP8740 and NP8540. Though similar to the Sonos’ Play: 5 and Play: 3, LG has added their own special touches.

Designed for indoor specifications, these portable speakers come with a “grab bar” at their rear. Compatibility with smartphones hasn’t been overlooked as provisions have been made for the for the speaker system to be controlled with a smartphone by an intuitive “drag-and-drop” app which controls each speaker independently.

These LG speakers will also support lossless music playback up to a maximum of 24 bit/192KHz.  This is where LG came up trumps against Sonos who currently don’t have this feature. LG has a third model on the way too – the Bridge Box which is designed for systems with more than two speakers. In this capacity LG looks unbeatable at the moment.

LG introduces a new mosquito combating air conditioner in Nigeria

LG introduces a new mosquito combating air conditioner in Nigeria 

 

Catering to every regular (as well as odd need), LG Electronics has introduced their newest offering – the Mosquito Away. The Mosquito Away is a residential air conditioner for the Nigerian market.

It is packed with all of LG’s high-end air conditioning technologies and additionally incorporates ultrasonic wave principles. Ultrasonic waves are harmful to mosquitoes, but absolutely safe for humans (as approved by the University of Ibadan’s College of Medicine and the Standards Organisation of Nigeria). It caters to the challenging weather conditions in Nigeria with powerful cooling and durability in temperature extremes.

The ‘auto cleaning’ function maintains hygiene and a clean atmosphere by preventing bacterial and mold formation. The ‘jet cool’ function enables efficient ventilation by increasing the airflow volume.  A big plus is that it takes into account the instability of the Nigerian power grid, and counters it with the ‘low voltage starter’ feature (and thus, works at low voltage perfectly well).

 

In a study conducted recently the Mosquito Away provided a whopping 82% repellence.  Given Africa’s climatic conditions, this model is absolute perfection. Comfort is the key in this latest model as it facilitates its users with a fresh and safe atmosphere to live and work in.

Junhwa Jeong, the general manager of Air-conditioning and Energy Solutions, LG Electronics West Africa Operations, said, “It comes with powerful cooling and extreme durability, this product is more than a match for the country’s challenging weather conditions. Better still, it incorporates ultrasonic wave technology, which effectively repels mosquitoes. We are confident that the Mosquito Away air conditioner will meet the needs of consumers in this important African market.”

LG G2 Smartphone Review by PING Nigeria

What to expect from LG G2?

LG G2 is a powerful smartphone with a huge 5.2-inch Full HD phone with a powerful quad-core 2.2GHz processor, 13MP camera and an impressively large 3,000mAh battery.

With all kinds of phones available nowadays it is difficult for companies to create an unique design that is both useful and attractive at the same time. And it is also equally if not more difficult to pick a phone over so many choices available to you. For example, Samsung Galaxy, iPhone 5s, Moto X and so many more. In terms of features and the basic hardware design almost all phones serve the same purpose… so what makes LG G2 any different?

The new LG G2 is no less than a personal computer. It comes jam packed with hardware and software that you may find on a traditional tablet or a laptop that is only couple of years old.

The LG G2 has been dubbed the AIO. It is an all in one solution to a smart-phone. For example, you get LCD display, 1920 x 1080 HD, 2 GHz quad-core CPU, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB disk-space, 13 MP camera, Wi-Fi, blue-tooth, Android 4 operating system, and it is only 9 mm thick to fit the right size.

There are some interesting changes to the design. For example, you will find the buttons are below the camera. Even though the phone is 9.1 mm thick, it somehow was able to house a 11.4 Wh battery. Like any other updates the phone features a new theme for the display, and touch-screen buttons on the screen.

Even though the phone features an impressive amount of hardware, it is still not known how the overall experience is going to be or how well the hardware and software will compliment each other.

We at PING Nigeria see great thing happening for LG mobile in 2014. what do you think?

LG G Pro Launches in Nigeria

LG G Pro  Lauches In Nigeria

LG Mobile has really nailed it on this one with the introduction of their new Smartphone they call the G Pro. In comparison to any Smartphone currently in Nigeria or Africa the phone definitely is a PRO and a bad boy on the Android category. The  G Pro is definitely a most have for lovers of big screens and sophisticated devices.

We hear LG intend launching the phone sometime soon and at a very affordable price though launching date has not yet being revealed. So amazingly in Nigeria LG will be giving the first 50 people to purchase the  G Pro free pocket photo, the device that print instantly after just taking a picture. The skin of  G Pro is so well optimised that everything just happens in an instant. There’s quite literally no lag no matter what you do, which makes it the perfect phone if you’re Flash Gordon. If you’ve used the LG Optimus G, then you’ll be right at home.

 

LG has added some new software features to the G Pro, such as the new Quick Remote app, which can be activated from the notification bar. You can still only open two QSlide apps, though, which is ok since you won’t be able to use more than that on a screen this size. Other apps bundled along include File Manager, Polaris Office 4, LG SmartWorld, LG SmartShare, Video Editor and a Remote Call Service Android handset makers seem hellbent on returning us to those days, or at least the updated equivalent.

The giant phones on the market may not also require the massive briefcase, but clearly Samsung, LG and others think bigger is better. Splendid, huge screen with excellent battery life. Beautiful set of widgets that make it possible to multitask with ease. Even though the camera can’t compete with the best. Too big for easy one-handed operation unless you have big hands— if you don’t want a big phone, this is not the phone for you but the price is right
