LG Electronics (LG) is
working together with Google on LG G Watch powered by
Android Wear™, which extends the Android platform to wearables. LG G Watch will be compatible with a wide range of Android™ smartphones and
will present relevant information to users just when they need it or whenever
they say “OK Google” to ask questions or get stuff done. As one of Google’s
lead partners in this effort, LG is planning to introduce its first watch
powered by Android Wear in the second quarter of 2014.
The LG G
Watch powered by Android Wear
will present a
low barrier to entry
for developers and
offer the best Google experience for users. LG engineers worked closely with
Google from the initial stages of development to ensure that the LG G Watch worked perfectly with Android Wear. This is
LG’s fourth device developed in close collaboration
with Google following the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and the LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play
Edition.
“The opportunity to work with
Google on LG G Watch was
the perfect chance for LG to really pull out all stops in both design and
engineering,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics
Mobile Communications Company. “With the LG G Watch, LG is continuing the milestones
we’ve set in wearables following in the footsteps of
the world’s first 3G Touch Watch Phone in 2009 and the Prada Link in
2008. We’re confident that a well-designed device has the potential to take the
smart wearable market by storm.”
Additional details of the
LG G Watch powered by Android Wear,
including hardware specifications, will be announced in the coming months.
