World's First Smartphone With Quad DAC : LG V20

LG on Thursday announced another feature reveal for its upcoming V20 smartphone. The successor to the popular LG V10 will sport a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC (digital to analogue converter) for enhanced audio playback.

The South Korean consumer electronics giant said that when using compatible wired headphones, the Quad DAC on the LG V20 will deliver "crisp and clear" sound to users. This implementation is said to be superior to a traditional DAC, and can reduce up to 50 percent of ambient noise levels.

LG said it worked with ESS Technology to develop the Quad DAC, which will supposedly be the "lynchpin" for several multimedia-related features on the LG V20. 

LG worked closely with ESS Technology, a leader in high-performance analog and audio devices, to ensure that the Quad DAC, delivered the best audio experience for owners of the LG V20

LG X screening India

LG India on Monday launched the X screen smartphone in India, priced at Rs. 12,990. The smartphone will be available exclusively via Snapdeal from Wednesday.

The highlight of the LG X screen is its dual display setup - the Always On display, similar to what we've seen on the LG V10 and the LG G5, is 4.93 inches in size and comes with with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels. The second display, which measures 1.76 inches diagonally and is placed about the primary display, has a resolution 520x80 pixel.

The LG X screen's second display will show notifications for apps, calls without interrupting the current activity or just display music controls. The second display also allows users to check time, date, battery status and other notifications without ever having to turn on the phone.
