A new feature added to a smartphone will naturally provoke curiosity, interest and a barrage of opinions. But when the feature includes highly advanced functions it will make everyone scrambling for more news. So is the case with LG’s Smart Video feature that is part of its latest smartphone Optimus G Pro. So let’s get to know what the feature is all about.

Is it almost human?
The Smart Video app that is preloaded on the latest LG smarpthone has built-in eye recognition functionality. In the world of constantly evolving automation this is an excellent feature. Eye recognition has two major benefits:
- Let’s say you are reading a long email or message. Normally you would scroll down with the help of buttons or swiping gestures. But with the eye recognition capability, the front camera gets automatically activated when you are reading text on the screen. The camera follows your eye movements and when you reach the last line the paragraph scrolls down automatically. Ever seen such a cool hands-free scrolling method before?
- Another use of the eye recognition capability is when you are video shooting with your latest LG smartphone. If you look away from the phone in the midst of video shooting, the camera will pause automatically. The shooting will resume when your turn back to the camera. This will ensure that your video is seamless and doesn’t have unnecessary clips that were shot when you were distracted.

Technological upgrade with dual benefit
Most LG smartphones had what is called the Dual Recording facility for simultaneous use of front and back camera. With the latest LG model this feature has been upgraded to Dual Camera with more dynamic functions. You can click images with both the front and back cameras at the same time like before. But now the image produced has an almost 360 degrees panning resulting in greater depth, clarity and density. This is definitely wider than wide-angle photography! The new technology also makes the colors and shades look more vibrant and natural.
For a person who likes travelling as well as photography, the Smart Video feature of LG smarpthones will prove extremely useful. It completely dispenses the need for a digital camera when you are vacationing. Wherever you go, you can tell your own story about the trip through classic photography and interesting videos. Upload them on your social networking sites and friends will presume you have taken up professional photography. This might even turn out to be a lucrative side business for some of people looking for extra bucks.
With this cutting-edge technology, LG smartphones are now in the big league. The UX Smart Video support on the front and rear cameras takes the capabilities of imagery and video recording to a new high. LG has launched its Smart Video enabled smartphone ahead of the much hyped Samsung Galaxy S IV that is expected to reach the markets shortly. Is the company racing for the 3rd spot in the smartphone arena? One wonders! While the battle for supremacy continues, smartphone users can benefit from greater and greater technological innovations.
Isn't it already available in Galaxy s4? I must say LG Optimus G Pro is an excellent device and a strong competitor for S4.
