LG to offer Hi-Fi music service for premium smartphone users

LG Electronics 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 the LG SmartWorld app on certain LG phones and at the lgworld website in nearly 70 countries, including the US, Australia, Brazil, China, France, Italy, Russia and the UK.

Qualifying customers will be able to download two free Hi-Fi tracks per month with the option to purchase songs at up to 50 percent off the regular price. Hi-Fi music delivers audio quality very close to the original sound with playback of 24bit/192kHz, about six times richer and clearer than the sound quality of a typical CD (16bit/44.1kHz). LG smartphones with 24bit music playback capability include the G4, G3, G2 and G Flex 2.
