LG’s ultimate wide screen phone opens up a whole new mobile experience

Manila / December 17, 2009 - LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator in mobile communications, announced the market introduction of the new LG Chocolate phone (LG BL40), offering customers in the Philippines a closer look at the eagerly-awaited widescreen device. The new LG Chocolate is the fourth handset in LG’s Black Label Series and successor to the highly-acclaimed LG Chocolate.



With the introduction of this bold new shape, the new Chocolate is essentially reinventing the way consumers view and use mobile phones. Designed with sleek sophistication, the strikingly unconventional 4-inch wide screen opens up an enlarged and more optimal space for “on-the-go” computing, allowing for an entirely new mobile experience that raises the bar of innovation.
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.”
