As per the company's press release, the newly-announced Hi-Fi music service will offer 24-bit/192kHz track downloads, which is notably higher quality than competing streaming services and typical MP3/CD quality (16-bit/44.1kHz) downloads available from most online music stores.

The selected customers will also be given two free tracks to download each month and the option to buy more at a 50 percent discount.

"MP3 music is perfectly fine for most people but those with Hi-Fi capable LG smartphones can experience a much richer environment." - Chris Yie, LG vice president and head of marketing

However, only premium smartphone range from LG supports high resolution audio playback, so the service will only be available on phones with 24-bit capabilities, including the LG G4, G3, G2 and G Flex 2.

At the same time, the music service will be introduced as part of the LG SmartWorld app that comes pre-installed on LG's smartphones.
