LG Electronics (LG) will offer a high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) music service for customers of its premium smartphones.
Starting this month, the new music service will be introduced via LG SmartWorld app on certain LG phones and at www.lgworld.com in nearly 70 countries including the United States, Australia, Brazil, China, France, Italy, Russia and the United Kingdom.
Hi-Fi music delivers playback of 24bit/192kHz, which LG says is ‘about six times richer and clearer than the sound quality of a typical CD (16bit/44.1kHz)’.
Qualifying LG customers will be able to download two free Hi-Fi tracks each month with the option to purchase songs at up to 50% off the regular price.
Owners of LG smartphones such as the G4, G3, G2 and G Flex 2 will be able to use the service.
“Our Hi-Fi music service reflects our ongoing commitment to providing additional customer benefits to loyal LG customers,” said Chris Yie, vice president and head of marketing communications for LG Mobile Communications Company.
“MP3 music is perfectly fine for most people but those with Hi-Fi capable LG smartphones can experience a much richer environment.”Music Business Worldwide
