Samsung Stratosphere 2 and LG Spectrum 2 spotted in Verizon’s Equipment Guide

For those in the market for possible low-mid ranged smartphones, Verizon’s Equipment Guide might have revealed two devices which are successors to 2011’s models, namely the Samsung Stratosphere 2 and the LG Spectrum 2. Unfortunately as you can see from the leaked image above, a complete list of the hardware specs cannot be fully seen, but what we do know about the Samsung Stratosphere 2 is that much like its predecessor, it will feature a slideout QWERTY keyboard. It will also sport a 4” Super AMOLED display and will be compatible with Verizon’s 4G LTE network.

The LG Spectrum 2 on the other hand remains quite a mystery, although some believe that it will feature a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with 1GB of RAM and an 8MP rear-facing camera. Not too shabby and given the specs, it should be sitting somewhere in the mid-range. In any case we will keep you updated with more information once it has been made available, so check back with us later for the details!

LG Optimus Vu 2 with Q Remote app to arrive in South Korea next month

Perhaps on purpose or perhaps they didn’t mean to, but either way it seems that LG has outed the Optimus Vu 2 for the Korean market. This is thanks to a press release announcing an app for the device called the Q Remote which basically brings about IR functionality to the handset. In case it wasn’t obvious enough, the Q Remote will play nicely with compatible set top boxes, home appliances and other devices/gadgets by LG. Given the size of the original Optimus Vu, it certainly has no problems doubling up as a remote control for the home.

The Optimus Vu 2 is set for a release in South Korean markets next month, which oddly enough is also the same time the Tegra-3 powered Optimus Vu will be going on sale in the US on Verizon’s network as the (possible) LG Intuition. Could the Optimus Vu 2 be simply the Tegra-3 powered Optimus Vu, or are we looking at a totally different device entirely?

LG unveils the Optimus G, the world’s first Snapdragon Quad-Core LTE Smartphone!

LG Electronics revealed its newest premium mobile device with the announcement of the Optimus G, a high-end smartphone that offers powerful performance, an elegant and sleek design, and an innovative user experience. As the first LTE device featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro Quad-Core processor.
The Optimus G will be the first commercial and global smartphone to offer the Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064) processor with a Quad-Core Krait CPU, LTE supported capabilities, and the newest generation …

LG Optimus G makes its official debut with Qualcomm’s quad-core processor on board

It wasn’t too long ago that the LG Optimus G’s specs were leaked, and while leaks should be taken with a degree of skepticism, LG confirmed it by launching a website dedicated to their next-gen smartphone which many believed would be called the LG Optimus G. Well the good news for folks eagerly anticipating the device is that LG has officially taken the wraps off the handset and has introduced the LG Optimus G to the world. As per earlier reports, the Optimus G has been confirmed to sport a Qualcomm APQ8064 quad-core processor and the Adreno 320 GPU, which at the same time happens to be compatible with global 3G and 4G LTE radios. However given there are over 50 4G LTE bands worldwide, there is the off-chance that your carrier may not be supported.

The LG Optimus G also features a 4.7” 1280×768 True HD IPS+ display, 2GB of RAM, a whopping 13MP rear-facing camera, a 2,100mAh battery (which purportedly is more efficient than regular smartphone batteries, although we’ll probably need to do some testing to see if LG’s claims are true), and will come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich preinstalled. The LG Optimus G is expected to hit the Korean market next month and will also launch on Japan’s NTT DoCoMo by October/November, albeit with a slightly different design. The international rollout has been planned for a later date although no specific dates or a timeframe has been given. There was no word on when it will be updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean either, but given that this will be LG’s brand new flagship device, we expect the upgrade shouldn’t be too far behind (fingers crossed!).

LG V-Series zero client cloud monitor

LG has just announced their next generation V-Series zero client cloud monitor, which goes by the model number CAV42K, where it will see the inclusion of the Teradici Tera2 chipset, with LG hoping that this cloud monitor will certainly be at the forefront of cloud computing performance. The LG V-Series will come in a couple of two sizes, namely a 23-inch (16:9 aspect ratio) and a 19-inch (16:10 aspect ratio) model. The Tera2 chipset within is said to reduce power consumption by operating at fewer than 6 watts of typical system power, which is a vast improvement when compared to the Tera1 chipset that operates at fewer than 15 watts of typical system power.

LG Optimus G official with in-cell touch

The device you’re about to have a peek at goes by the name LG Optimus G and it’s about to bring on next-level hardware the likes of which you’ve never seen before. The LG Optimus G has been made official by LG this week, here showing its full specifications for one whole heck of a lot of smartphone glory. You’ll be working with the ultra-powerful 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064, 4G LTE connectivity, and LG’s futuristic application of their fully integrated touch technology that goes by the name of in-cell touch.

This technology called in-cell touch has also been tipped as being prepared for use in the iPhone 5 (or New iPhone, whatever you like), as it’s revealed some time next month (if the rumors are true, of course.) The CEO of LG let the world know last week that they were ready and willing to make their ability to create said technology in real hardware form public knowledge, and here with the LG Optimus G, it appears that the first implementation of the innovation has been revealed as well.

This device features a True HD (1280 x 768 pixel resolution) IPS+ LCD, a display which LG says is able to head right up to the edge of the 3mm bezel – fun stuff! On the back of the device you’ll find a massive 13 megapixel camera, on the front you’ve got a 1.3 megapixel camera, and inside you’ve got 2GB of RAM – that’s power! Paired with the quad-core Snapdragon processor inside, it appears that the Samsung Galaxy S III will have some benchmark competition.

The LG Optimus G will be appearing on NTT Docomo in Japan as the L-01E in October or November, while a more standard Korea release will be happening next week. This device will measure in at 8.45mm thin – considering that this is thin already, even without considering the 2,100 mAh battery inside – the LG crew may have a pretty awesome device on their hands. This smartphone will also be released with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich right out of the box.

LG Optimus G revealed: 1.5GHz quad-core CPU, ICS, LTE, 4.7-inch screen with in-cell touch

LG Optimus G revealed 15GHz quadcore CPU, ICS, LTE, 47inch screen with incell touch

LG has been teasing its upcoming Optimus G smartphone for weeks after promising LTE phones that would be “second to none” and now we finally have the full specs. When it arrives in Korea next month it will be the first with LTE mounted to a quad-core CPU, thanks to the 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 at its center. The display is also groundbreaking, featuring LG’s fully integrated touch technology — sounds like its new in-cell touch to us –for a thinner screen and bezel. It’s a True HD (1280 x 768) IPS LCD, and LG claims when it’s turned off the 3mm bezel and body of the phone match the screen when it’s turned off. Just the leaks indicated, it also has 2GB of RAM, a 13MP rear camera, 1.3MP front camera and 2,100mAh battery, all while measuring only 8mm thick.

The only bad news so far? It will arrive in Korea next month (and on NTT Docomo in October or November as the L-01E in black and red, seen after the break) with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, not Jelly Bean. The software will be as we’ve seen on other high-powered LG units like the Optimus Vu, with the addition of a “live zoom” feature on video and Dual Screen Dual Play mirroring for external displays. The real triumph for LG however, is its ability to vertically integrate technology from its various units to create the device. LG Chem provided a battery that is the first to offer a lifespan of 800 cycles, while LG Display created the screen and partnered with LG Innotek on the G2 Touch Hybrid Display unibody tech that eliminates the gap between the glass and the LCD panel. A worldwide launch is promised later in the year, although we’d expect to hear more soon at IFA 2012.

Update: The English PR is now available and embedded after the break. Check it out for the full specs, including the Optimus G’s Adreno 320 GPU, Bluetooth 4.0, MHL and NFC capabilities and more software enhancements including Time Catch Shot picture selection and Cheese Shutter voice command to take a picture.

LG preps 219 aspect ratio EA93 and WQHD EA83 series IPS LCD monitors for debut at IFA 2012

It’s tradeshow season and as is its custom, LG is bringing monitors packed with its latest and greatest display technology to show off. Just announced ahead of IFA 2012 are the EA93 and EA83 IPS LCDs, with the former aimed at entertainment / multitasking and the latter targeting graphics, video and photography pros. The EA93 is a 29-inch 21:9 aspect ratio ultrawidescreen (2560 x 1080) display with a thin bezel designed to immerse the viewer in the content. It can handle a 4-way split screen and connections via DVI Dual Link, DisplayPort, or HDMI with MHL support. The 27-inch EA83’s claim to fame is its 2560 x 1440 WQHD resolution that brings four times the pixel count of 1280 x 720 panels and 99 percent Adobe RGB accuracy. There’s no word on the price tag for either of these, but they should start shipping in November.
