Smartwatches are now taking the market by storm. They are the latest tech in the market of mobile phones manufacturers who are competing with each other to see who has the best. The watches have changed the traditional way in which the watches were used and they are now complementary of smartphones.
What is LG Smartwatch?
One of the latest smartwatches is the LG Smartwatch. It is among the first two Android smartwatches in the market though boxy in design. The watch comes in a screen of 1.65 inches with a 280 x 280 resolution. Its battery power is better than the closest rival with 400mAh, making it last longer for slightly less than two days.
The processor is powerful for a watch since it has Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 at 1.2 GHz. Its RAM is 512 MB. Its water resistance ensures that it can remain safe if dropped in water though it does not mean that one can go swimming with it. It is also dust resistant.
The good news is that the watch is compatible with devices powered by Google and are running on Android 4.3 or greater. This brings into the picture Smartphones such as Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 and Sony Xperia Z2.
Just like other smartwatches, its main use is to provide notifications from the smartphone such as messages, emails, Google hangouts, calls and twitter. One does not need to remove the phone from the pocket to see who is calling or texting. It has a touch screen and a user interface similar to that of other Android devices. The smartwatch also responds to voice commands in areas such as writing a text or in getting directions, making it fun to use.
What the LG Smartwatch is not
The watch is moving hand in hand with its competition with only slight differences. This means that the LG watch is not with the highest resolution since its Samsung counterpart has taken the position. The watch is also not compatible with devices on iOS8 and iPhone. You can also not make calls directly from the watch, though that is something that can be anticipated in future watches.
The LG Watch does not use a USB port to charge because it uses Pogo charging technique. Other smartwatches in competition such as Moto 360 also uses a different method of wireless charging with the most common being the use of a USB port.
