A massive report published on VentureBeat yesterday exposed many things coming from LG this weekend. Drones and virtual reality will be part of the company’s MWC 2016 event, yet everyone understands the real star will be the LG G5. The upcoming flagship’s modular design exposed last month and detailed in yesterday’s report is what will give LG a fresh product to bring to the market. One of the modules allegedly being prepared for the G5 will be a digital audio chip (DAC) to improve sound quality from Bang & Olufsen.
On Thursday night, LG announced a partnership with Bang & Olufsen to bring “the best sound experience” to the G5.
Juno Cho, LG Mobile President and CEO, said this about teaming up with one of the world’s premier audio equipment makers:
“By collaborating with B&O PLAY, we believe we can meet and surpass the heightened expectations of consumers seeking the next generation of enhanced audio experiences on their smartphones. Our collaboration with B&O PLAY has proven mutually beneficial and LG will continue to work with other leading companies in a variety of industries in order to set new standards for innovation in the premium smartphone market.”
The partnership will make LG the first company to have “powerful Hi-Fi audio features” from Bang & Olufsen. What does that mean? We’ll find out on Sunday at 8:00AM ET.
