LG on Monday showed off the LG UX 4.0 skin that's due to
launch along with the LG G4 later this month. Notably, the
company has already sent out press invites for an event
scheduled for April 28.
The firm while unveiling the LG UX 4.0 also noted that the
G4 will be the first smartphone to come equipped with the
new custom UI, and that the company will release it to more
smartphones in the future.
"LG UX 4.0 is a simple and intuitive UX to everyone, as well
as easy-to-use, features that provide a high level of
functionality as a specialised unit through the user settings,"
notes (translated from Korean) LG on its official blog.
One of the highlight of the new Android Lollipop-based LG
UX 4.0 is its Quick Shot feature, which essentially lets users
double click the volume button to capture a photo, even if
the phone is locked.
LG has also added an Expert Mode in the camera interface
that the company claims can deliver DSLR-level professional quality for images.
Also the Gallery app in UX 4.0 can now understand when and where the images have
been taken and can automatically combine them into an album.
Also refreshed is the new Calendar app, which allows users to set pull in events from Facebook and other social networking sites, and a unified view.
