LG to release extra-large battery smartphone
LG Electronics (066570.KS) has decided to release the LG X power2 smartphone in June in Korea. What makes this phone different is that it comes with a 4500 mAh battery, which is 50% larger than the Galaxy S8 and is 1200 mAh larger than the LG G6 smartphone, which has the biggest battery of all LG smartphones to date. LG has stated that the phone and battery will allow users to watch videos for 15 hours or browse the internet for 18 continuous hours. The company also has added rapid charging that can restore 50% of battery capacity in 1 hour.
While Samsung takes the more conservative battery route, and rightly so, LG seems to want to satisfy those Korean consumers that need extended time with their smartphones before charging, particularly those consumers that have ‘frequent outside activities’. That said, the phone will not be released in any other countries as “…it wants (LG Electronics) to satisfy demands from South Korean consumers wanting a battery with large capacity due to the use of a smartphone for long time and to observe responses from consumers at the same time.” Hopefully, this does not mean, “if it doesn’t explode, we will sell it in other places”.
