The New TONE Series From LG Introduces An Audio Wearable of Convenience

New TONE Platinum SE Offers Google Translate and Other AI Features at the Press of a Button

LG has announced new wireless audio wearables. They promise to bring convenience thanks to a dedicated Google Assistant button which also offers real-time translation at the press of a button with Google Translate. Promising faster access due to a more responsive AI means that communicating in another language will be quicker and more natural and that users can activate Google Assistant without having to invoke a trigger phrase, “OK Google”.

We are committed to delivering more great audio wearable products to consumers worldwide.”

With the external speaker, users can make calls and listen to music without blocking out ambient sounds, ideal when one needs to be aware of the surroundings. Both the LG TONE Platinum SE and LG TONE Ultra SE feature dual MEMS microphone for superb call clarity and support for the Tone & Talk smartphone app.
