Visualized: LG's Optimus L7, 4X HD, Vu and 3D Max pose for family album

A few weeks ago we had the chance to line up some of LG’s current handsets — the Optimus L7, Optimus 4X HD, Optimus Vu and Optimus 3D Max — for a little photo shoot. While we only had access to the 3D Max for a short time, we ended up reviewing the other three. There’s a bit of something for everyone here — some Ice Cream Sandwich and some Gingerbread, some mid-range hardware and some hi-end style, some phablet and some 3D. Check out the pr0n family album in the gallery below.

LG renames Quick Voice to Q Voice with English version to launch in 2013

Posted in: Today's Chili

LG recently launched its Quick Voice service in Korea to challenge Apple’s Siri and Samsung’s S Voice. About a month after launch, the company is rebranding it to compete with Samsung’s S Voice and has changed its name to Q Voice, which is expected to debut with an English version in 2013. Currently, Q Voice is limited to Korean-speaking LG users and offers standard voice control functions that have been integrated with 11 Android apps.

LG uses its own technology in combination with Google software to process words and phrases to understand them. It can even pick out any single female voice in a crowded and noisy room full of male voices and can have its settings adjusted by speech to Bluetooth, sound and vibration.

Q Voice is already available on the 5-inch Optimus Vu slab and is scheduled to come to the Optimus LTE II with a software update at the end of the month. LG has also emphasized that Q Voice will be heading to additional smartphones in the future.

LG VS930 for Verizon leaks

Posted in: Today's Chili

Just a few days ago we heard rumblings that LG was planning another high-end smartphone that would feature a quad-core processor and 10-megapixel camera, and now it looks like the company is about to release another LTE handset on Verizon. Engadget has scored pictures and specs for the VS930. It looks quite similar to the LG Optimus LTE II, and the specs are certainly nothing to sneeze at.

The phone will reportedly come with a 4.7-inch screen with a 720p IPS display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor clocked at 1.5Ghz, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, NFC, and global radio support on top of Verizon’s LTE. The phone will also come with an 8-megapixel camera, and come in at 9.2mm thick.

A leaked service manual for the phone indicates that it will be running Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, have a 2,150mAh battery, and that it may possibly be released very shortly on July 13th. Feast your eyes on the service manual in the meantime, and we’ll bring you the official announcement if the handset does indeed drop on the 13th.

LG Optimus 4X HD review: runner-up to the quad-core throne

Posted in: Today's Chili

DNP LG Optimus 4X HD review runnerup to the quadcore throne

More Info

LG has an ongoing smartphone problem: despite a few valiant efforts (the G2x comes to mind) the company continues to live in the shadow of rival Samsung. Most of this malaise can be attributed to hit-and-miss hardware combined with lackluster software (we’re looking at you, Spectrum). Last February, at Mobile World Congress, LG spiced things up with an attractive collection of devices including the Optimus L7, Optimus Vu and Optimus 4X HD — the latter being one of the first quad-core handsets announced. Now, six months later, we live in a world where the global versions of HTC’s One X and Samsung’s Galaxy S III dominate the superphone market and share the quad-core crown. With me-too features like a Tegra 3 processor, 4.7-inch HD display, 8-megapixel camera and Ice Cream Sandwich on board, the Optimus 4X HD appears ready to play in the big leagues. Does it succeed or is it just a flash in the pan? Is it all style over substance or does it bring something unique and meaningful to the table? Hit the break for our full review.
