With LG prepping to unveil its new 2015 flagship at the end of the month, they wanted to make sure we all knew about their new-and-improved software coming along w/ it. Enter their 4th version of their custom software UX bringing forth several new features on top Lollipop version of Android.
LG wants to make their UX stand out a bit for the G4.
LG is aiming for a ‘human-centered’ take on their UX this time around. The video above goes into everything in detail along w/ confirming the name of their next flagship being the G4 as well. Expect to see new things like:
- Manual Camera Mode: LG is keeping its really simple camera UI in UX 4.0, but they are including a set of manual controls for the professional photog or for those who just want more control.
- Quick Shot: By tapping the Volume Down button on the back of the G4 (back buttons confirmed!), you can capture a photo without even fully opening the camera app.
- Smart Board: Like Google Now, Smart Board tries to collect “scattered” info and place it in a scrolling list – we are talking things like the calendar, music, health info, etc.
- Calendar: The pre-installed calendar app has been redone with a Material Design flair.
- Gallery: The gallery will now group together pictures taken during special events or by location, with a sort of living shot sitting at the top of each set.
- Smart Alerts: This feature tries to understand your situation and then provide you with useful info, like if it’s sunny and you like basketball, LG might tell you to go play outside. LG hasn’t said if it’s looking at your calendar or if it’s going to be completely random and suggest you go outside and hoop it up on a Tuesday at 2PM when you should be working.
So who’s looking forward to seeing everything the G4 has to offer at the end of the month?
