LG's 4K smart phone upscaling revealed in video

2013-02-27
hello I'm West rekha senior at Mobile World Congress 2013 where LG stand taking a look at some poor case dreaming from the phone now this is some very interesting technology what is happening here is you've got a game running on this smart phone it's running on an lg optimus G which is a quad-core device so it's got quite a powerful processor and it's running a HD game but the phone itself is upscaling that to 4k or Ultra High Definition as it's sometimes called and then mirroring that to the television behind me as you can see the result is really impressive all the detail on the television is incredibly crisp this is a graphically intensive game demo that we're running but everything up there looks really good and there's not very much latency or lag that's all between actions you perform on the phone and what happens on the big screen so this is all happening via LG's proprietary mirroring technology it is putting a lot of strain on the phone so I can feel it's getting very very warm by does seem to be able to handle it so why is this technology useful well 4k televisions are becoming a bigger deal in the next few years you're going to be able to buy one for the price that you can get a full HD television for now unfortunately though it's going to be a bit longer before we find much 4k content to actually watch it's good technology in theory at least but it will take a hefty toll on your phone's battery life so here's hoping smartphones become a little bit more battery capable before this technology becomes widespread we may not be waiting very long however because LG says that in the first part of next year or possibly even late this year we're going to see smartphones coming to market that have LG's mirroring upscaling technology built into them on the Westway vecinos here at LG standard mobile congress and this is some 4k phone streaming
