LG and Google are working together on the LG G Watch powered by Android Wear, which extends the Android platform to wearables. The 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.
The LG G Watch powered by Android Wear, which is LG’s fourth device developed with close collaboration with Google, will present a low barrier to entry for developers and offer the best Google experience for users.
Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company had this to say on the company’s plans, “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.â€
Additional details of the LG G Watch powered by Android Wear, including hardware specifications, will be announced in the coming months.
The watch is scheduled to be introduced in the second quarter of 2014.
