LG Prada 3.0 Philippines Price Php 29,990 : In the Flesh Photos and Video!
TechPinas Exclusive!
Last Friday, LG Electronics Philippines officially unveiled LG Prada 3.0
This is the newest flagship fashion smartphone of LG, a major player in the mobile phone industry, and Prada, a designer brand in the world of fashion clothing, bags, and accessories.
LG Prada 3.0 is the third collaborative mobile device by the two powerhouse companies. This phone runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, which will be upgradeable to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich come second quarter of 2012.
LG Prada 3.0 is a true luxury device from a design standpoint. LG and Prada followed a minimalist philosophical approach to its creation. This smartphone, which is very slim - measuring only 8.5mm in thickness, has a simple black finish and subdued metallic frames. The back plastic panel has a leather-like finish called the Saffiano, a Prada signature pattern. To complete this subdued look, the phone has a customized Android black and white Prada-inspired skin.
But LG Prada 3.0 is not only a fashion statement. It's also a powerhouse handset through and through. I mean, check out some of its key specifications;
It has a 4.3” Nova display, dubbed as the world’s brightest screen (800 nit).
A 1.0GHz dual core processor
8 MP Camera
8GB Internal Storage with expandable storage
1540mAh Battery
Obviously, the high-end specs and the brand name Prada will make the phone attractive to both fashionistas and techies. On a personal note, my previous perception was that LG Prada 3.0 is a smartphone that was targeted towards women; Note that the iconic designer name Prada - printed on the front and back of the device - is usually associated with women's fashion. But I was able to have a chat with Eryn de Leon, Account Manager for LG-One Philippines, and she told me that LG Prada is also a "man's phone" because of the luxurious design and its large 4.3-inch screen which should appeal to the male segment of the market. LG also tries to promote this fashion phone to the male segment by tapping Edward Norton as its endorser (I have a wild guess that this phone will make a cameo appearance in Bourne Legacy)
For a luxury device, LG Prada 3.0 has a rather competitive price tag at only PhP 29,990 (The TP Price Guesstimate for this phone, if you remember, is Php 30,000 - 33,000. Quite on point, eh?) This high-end smartphone will be available in the Philippines within the month of February 2012. The phone will be released along with a special line of accessories, including a phone dock, bluetooth headset, and earphones.
If you're a potential buyer, I'm guessing that the specs would only be a secondary consideration vs. its main selling-point It is a Prada, a luxury phone and a collector's item.
We will be writing an in-depth review of this device as soon as TechPinas receives a review unit. But for now, please enjoy this exclusive demo video:
