Love them or hate them, those ubiquitous Android skins aren’t going anywhere any time soon. Now the latest one to make an entrance to the overlay game is LG’s UI 3.0, which the Korean outfits says will make the overall experience of its handsets easier, speedier and “more convenient.” The new UI brings features such as a novel drag anywhere-style lock screen, an Icon Customizer for setting your own photos as icons / shortcuts, a revamped Pattern Lock that lets you preset apps for quicker launch and a Voice Shutter trait for taking snaps via voice commands — à la Sammy S Voice . UI 3.0 is set to make its debut next week with the launch of LG’s Optimus LTE II in Korea, while the Optimus 4X HD will also come sporting the fresh skin once it launches in June
