LG Electronics is going to launch LG-U890, a slim and wide screen music phone equipped with stereo Bluetooth. LG-U890 is the latest model in the MUSE (Multimedia with Unique Style for Entertainment) series of LG. The model provides an advanced audio function through Bluetooth stereo audio. Compared to the average Bluetooth mono audio used in most 3G mobile phones, its Bluetooth Stereo maximize its mobile jukebox, intended for trend-conscious young consumers. The model’s slim and stylish design and wide screen are also key factors for consumer attraction. The handset is 18.5mm thick but this does not interfere with the handset’s functionality. The real music phone allows users to enjoy the stereo audio function over Bluetooth supported by A2DP (Advance Audio Distribution Profiles). The model has 70MB internal memory for MP3 and a button on the outside of the folder for easy control of the MP3 player function. Equipped with a 1.3 mega-pixel rotating camera with flash, it can take pictures without the folder being opened. It also has a 2.2” wide LCD screen for video calling.

“LG has already proven its initiative in the 3G market by introducing million-seller models in the market. The new stylish music phone, LG-U890 will ultimately strengthen our market leadership with strong features including Bluetooth stereo audio, slimmer body and wider display,” said Mr. Kenn Suh, Executive Vice President of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.
