Just a few moments ago, LG (along with Google)
announced its most awaited Watch Style & LG Watch Sport smartwatches,
running on the company’s latest version of Android Wear 2.0 OS.
LG Watch Style
This is the smaller of the pair and the most
affordable obviously, costing US$ 249 for titanium and silver variant and US$ 279 for
the rose gold version. We’re talking about the LG Watch Style, which is
equipped with a 1.2-inch 360×360 resolution circular P-OLED display, along with
a ambient light sensor and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity. It runs on a brand new
Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset with 512MB RAM and 4GB storage and relies on a
240 mAh battery for its energy needs, with wireless charging compatibility. The
Watch Style has a stainless steel body with leather straps and IP67
water-resistance rating.
LG Watch Sport
The big brother is not only big, but also a bit
expensive. Here’s the Watch Sport, which comes with a 1.38-inch 480×480
resolution P-OLED display, Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset, 768MB RAM, 4GB
storage, and 430 mAh battery. It comes fully loaded with all sorts of sensors
and connectivity options, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LTE, GPS, NFC, heart rate
monitor, barometer, and ambient light sensor. It obviously has full IP68
support so its safe to use duringg bath or when you swim in the sea. It’s
priced at US$ 349 for the titanium version but it will also be available in a
Google Store-exclusive dark blue variant.
Both smartwatches will be soon available to markets
such as Canada, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, UAE,
and the UK in the near future.
