LG has announced a new software update for their LG Optimus G Pro smartphone. The update is called the ‘Value Pack’ and it will bring a range of new features to the handset, including LG’s eye recognition technology.
Introducing Smart Video Technology
LG’s eye tracking technology is called Smart Video. It was announced last month, just before Samsung unveiled their new Galaxy S4 smartphone. Smart Video uses the front-facing camera to track the user’s eye movements. When the user looks away from the screen, the video will automatically pause, and it will resume playing when the user looks back at the screen. This feature is designed to enhance the user experience by making video watching more intuitive and less disruptive. You can see it in action in the video below.
Additional Features in the Value Pack Update
The Value Pack update for the LG Optimus G Pro is not just about Smart Video. It also includes several other enhancements and new features aimed at improving the overall functionality and user experience of the device. One of the notable additions is the Dual Camera feature, which allows users to capture photos and videos using both the front and rear cameras simultaneously. This can be particularly useful for video calls and creating more dynamic content.
Another significant feature is the Pause and Resume Recording function. This allows users to pause video recording and then resume it without having to start a new video file. This can be incredibly handy for creating seamless videos without the need for post-editing.
The update also brings enhancements to the QRemote function, which turns the LG Optimus G Pro into a universal remote control for various home appliances. The improved QRemote now supports more devices and offers a more intuitive user interface.
Additionally, the Value Pack includes improvements to the QuickMemo feature, which allows users to take notes on the screen using their fingers or a stylus. The updated QuickMemo now offers more customization options and better integration with other apps on the device.
Rollout Schedule and Availability
The LG Optimus G Pro Value Pack software update will start rolling out to handsets from tomorrow, the 12th of April. The update will arrive in South Korea first and will then be rolled out to other countries. LG has not provided a specific timeline for the international rollout, but it is expected to reach users in other regions within the following weeks.
This update demonstrates LG’s commitment to enhancing the user experience and keeping their devices up-to-date with the latest technology. The inclusion of features like Smart Video and Dual Camera shows that LG is focused on providing innovative solutions that cater to the needs of modern smartphone users.
