LG Electronics previewed its aggressive 2006 mobile phone product roadmap at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). In addition to its 2006 handsets that integrate the latest wireless technologies with style and function for the U.S. market, LG also emphasized its global reach and showcased 22 different models available outside the U.S. CES attendees can get a closer look at LG mobile phone technology at the LG Booth, #8214 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
LG Mobile Phones' strong presence at CES reflects the company's growing U.S. market share, which rose to 19.6 percent in the third quarter of 2005. Third-quarter shipments catapulted LG to the number two spot across all mobile phone manufacturers, while LG maintained the largest share of the U.S. CDMA mobile handset market; increasing its CDMA market share to 24.3 percent in this highly competitive arena. LG also strengthened its position as a GSM handset manufacturer, securing the number four spot - only two years after the launch of its first GSM device. With strong growth in the GSM market, up 4.2 percent to a GSM market share of 10.3 percent , LG is poised to continue its expansion into the U.S. GSM space into 2006.Juno Cho, president of LG Electronics MobileComm, said, "Our 2006 handset roadmap features a myriad of products that push the envelope of mobile phone technology and functionality." Highlighting its global offerings, LG Mobile Phones displayed its full scope of handset styles and functions available outside of the U.S. Devices on display show video telephony, 5-megapixel camera capability and terrestrial DMB functionality. Several new swivel designs and accessories exude style and accentuate the mobile phone users' experience. Further, fun takes centerstage with handsets capable of mobile karaoke and the ultimate in 3-D mobile gaming, the 'PowerPlay' handset, which boasts an awesome million polygons per second. Other handsets provide consumers with a glimpse into future mobile phone technology in the United States, including units that double as navigation devices and a health-oriented handset that can test blood sugar, body fat and stress levels.
