As the world's first handset to use Dolby Mobile technology, the Arena delivers surround sound for video and enhanced sound for music.
Its 3.0-inch WVGA screen has four times sharper resolution than standard QVGA screens, so users can watch DVD-quality DivX or Xvid movies. It has D1 recording to capture DVD-resolution video.
Hundreds of music and movie files can be added with its 40GB memory, including 8GB of internal memory and a microSD slot.
The battery offers up to 30 hours of MP3 playtime and 300 hours of standby time.
The Arena's 5.0-megapixel camera has auto and manual focus capabilities. Video and photos can easily be shared on social networking sites with 3G HSDPA 7.2 networks and Wi-Fi. An FM transmitter and 3.5mm audio jack leaves space for users who want to enjoy their music in the car, at home on a stereo or with preferred ear phones.
Other advanced features include Google Mobile Service, A-GPS and geo-tagging.
Debuting on Arena, LG's new S-Class UI offers a 3D cube layout with four customizable home screens. Users can access features faster and easier by flipping the cube with just the flick of a finger.
"When Arena was firstly unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2009, we saw great excitement from our customers in its stand-alone multimedia features," said Skott Ahn, Chief Executive of LG Electronics Mobile. "Visitors particularly appreciated features such as the world's first Dolby Mobile, WVGA display, 5.0-megapixel camera, 40GB storage capacity and most of all the intuitive 3D S-Class user interface, which makes accessing these other features a much more enjoyable experience."
The LG Arena comes in silver and black titanium color schemes and will be available for purchase starting in March in major European markets.
