LG Electronics has unveiled its Stylus 2 smartphone which features the DAB+ standard for digital radio broadcasting. The LG Stylus 2 with DAB+ will initially be available in Australia, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway and the UK.
The LG Stylus 2 also includes a 5.7-inch screen, 1 watt speaker and 3,000mAh removable battery. The LG Stylus 2 features a DAB+ chipset and an exclusive app that allows customers to access digital radio broadcasts out of the box. A technical interface also enables broadcasters to develop their own tailored apps in which internet services complement broadcasted radio.
Users will be able to access more radio channels with DAB+ than traditional FM. DAB+ radio provides high audio quality free of charge, as it uses no data. LG partnered with the International DMB Advancement Group (IDAG) to include DAB+ technology in the new LG Stylus 2.
