LG G4 now has the Guinness World Record for most consecutive selfies taken

While other manufactures focus on more traditional marketing techniques that only last a short time, LG aims for ones that last forever. LG has just received the Guinness World Record for most consecutive selfies taken. LG got over 2,500 participants in Mexico City for this stunt. The record is for the “longest selfie relay chain” and took over two hours on June 13 in which a total of 746 selfies were taken.

It happened at the historical Chapultepec Castle, which is a National Museum of History. The previous record was with the Samsung Galaxy A3 and A5 in the US where a total of 531 selfies were taken. To beat this record, the G4 would have to take a photo every 10 seconds during the two hour period.

LG also claims that the G4 was not only able to shatter the previous record, but the G4 did it without needing to be recharged or have it’s battery swapped. They said it still had tons of battery left for more selfies, but they “ran out of people”. A city with almost 9 million people and they couldn’t even find more to participate.

It will be interesting to see if Samsung tries to reclaim the title with their Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in the future. Who knows if the battery will last that long.

LG G4 Plays Key Role in Record for Most Number of Selfies Taken in One Place

SEOUL, June 22, 2015 — LG Electronics earned itself a spot in the record books for the most consecutive selfies taken in one place with the help of over 2,500 participants in Mexico City. With a Guinness World Record official on hand, the “longest selfie relay chain” was set with an LG G4 near historic Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City over a period of two hours on June 13.

The total of 746 individual and group selfies surpassed the previous record of 531 consecutive selfies set in the United States just last month. Guinness World Record official Alex Angert supervised the record attempt and is in the process of validating the record back at Guinness headquarters.

“With one selfie taken approximately every 10 seconds, the LG G4 used for the record attempt managed to go the distance without needing a recharge or a battery swap,” said Daniel Aguilar, who coordinated the event for LG Electronics Mexico. “The G4 still had plenty of juice left but we ran out of people.”
