LG has won the iF Communication Design Award 2009 for the 3D S-Class User Interface featured on its latest handset, LG ARENA (LG-KM900). According to LG, it had sold over 500,000 units in the three months after its launch in Europe.

The 3D S-Class UI has also applied to the Viewty Smart (LG-GC900), LG-GM730 and LG-GD900 Crystal with different customization. The Viewty Smart runs the S-Class UI with modifications that make it ideal for a camera phone, including multi-touch commands for zooming in and out, one-touch mode selection for stills and video, and an Intelligent Shot Mode Indicator that shows exactly how the phone is analyzing the scene. The version of LG’s S-Class UI in the LG-GM730 is designed to work seamlessly with the latest version of Windows Mobile, thus making this smartphone easier to use while still delivering the advanced, familiar features. The S-Class UI in the LG-GD900 Crystal, responds to commands on the phone’s full touchscreen as well as its transparent, touch sensitive Crystal Touchpad.
