There hasn\u2019t been much news from LG on the mobile front in South Africa of late, but responses to questions posed to technical manager for mobile communications at LG SA, Kenneth Hales, indicated that the silence is not from lack of activity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are currently in the process of finalising our product roadmap in terms of which handsets we will bring to the South African market this year,\u201d Hales said, adding that they do plan to expand their range of smartphone handsets for 2012.<\/p>\n
LG not only builds Android devices, but Windows Phone 7 smartphones and feature phones as well. It is only natural to wonder which of these types of devices they will focus on going forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough we offer feature phones our focus for South Africa is on providing high-end mobile devices,\u201d Hales said. \u201cWith Android being the fastest growing operating system world-wide, we are firmly committed to the Android platform and we are developing user interfaces and various applications for this operating system.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked what else to expect from LG mobile in South Africa for 2012, Hales said that they will \u201ccontinue to provide South Africans with innovative, high-quality mobile devices that will suit every individual\u2019s needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hales said that LG is keeping up with developments in the mobile space and is a leader in developing devices that are \u201cworld firsts.\u201d He went on to specifically mention the Optimus 3D, a device that boasted a 3D camera and glasses-free 3D display, which Hales said was the first 3D phone to be released in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
