LG Snapdragon phone gains popularity
LG Electronics said yesterday that its MAXX feature phone, equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon application processor, is receiving strong initial response from consumers in Korea, with its daily sales exceeding 1,000 units.

Like smartphones, the Wi-Fi enabled handset LG-LU9400 allows users to enjoy high-speed internet, with the 1 gigahertz Snapdragon processor. It was launched on March 3 via the country's smallest mobile carrier LG Telecom

LG will provide a free rental service for the phone until May 9 at LG's Cyon Planet store at COEX, southern Seoul. The one-hour free trial service offers not only calling and text-messaging but e-mailing, Web surfing and other services. Downloads of paid content and overseas calls are not allowed under the service. ([e-mail])
