LG Spirit LTE and G4 Stylus 4G with VoLTE & VoWiFi Features to launch in India

LG has announced today that its two latest smartphones –  LG Spirit LTE & LG G4 Stylus 4G  are available in India now with VoLTE (Voice Over LTE) and VoWiFi (Voice Over Wi-Fi) features, which according to LG allows faster transmission of data and voice.

According to LG, ”VoLTE is an acronym for Voice over Long Term Evolution which is based on IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network, with specific profile for control and media planes of voice service. This approach results in delivery of voice just as the data flows within the LTE data bearer, which in turn implies that there is no dependency on legacy circuit switch voice networks to be maintained. A VoLTE device has up to three times more voice and data capacity than normal 3G networks and up to six times more than 2G GSM”.

”VoWiFi is an acronym for Voice over Wi-Fi. The defining feature of this service is that it allows interoperability of a handset between Wi-Fi and cellular service. It is expected to be beneficial to the users who have poor cellular coverage in their homes.”
