LG teases its new quadcore superphone Snapdragon S4 Pro is awesome, device still vague

While Qualcomm let the Snapdragon out of the bag a little early, LG’s now caught up and launched a (Korean-only) teaser site for its next LTE smartphone. Promising a second-generation quad-core experience, the new flagship device will offer better power management and graphics performance thanks to the Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset beating away at its core. There’s space on the site for another five videos, which should hopefully give us a little more detail than what we’ve been able to glean from FCC filings. Thumb your Korean dictionary ready and check out LG’s first taster after the break.

LG Eclipse LS970 spotted at the FCC with Sprint’s radios on board

Posted in: Today's Chili

Back in June, we reported that according to a rumor, the LG Eclipse LS970 could be seeing a launch on both AT&T and Sprint in October. Unfortunately until today, the phone remains somewhat of a mystery and its release date is still unclear. However thanks to a recent FCC filing, it has been revealed that the phone will be sporting Sprint’s CDMA, EVDO and LTE bands, alongside other connectivity options like dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, LTE radio and USB 2.0.

Apart from that, the rest of the specs of the LG Eclipse remains a rumor for now. For those interested, these rumored specs include a Qualcomm S4 Krait quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, an Adreno 320 GPU, an 8MP rear-facing camera with 1080p Full HD video capture capabilities and a slideout keyboard. No word on its choice of operating system but given its late year launch, some are speculating that it could come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on board. While the specs are merely rumors, at the very least we know that the device exists and whether it will launch stateside with the abovementioned specs remains to be seen, so take this with a grain of salt and check back with us in the future for more updates!

LG Eclipse (LS970) pops up in FCC docs, ready to prop up Sprint’s LTE network

LG Eclipse LS970 pops up in FCC docs, ready to prop up Sprint's LTE lineup

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire and by the looks of this latest FCC filing, LG’s LS970 is all but a lock for Sprint’s LTE lineup. Rumored to bow on that carrier as the Eclipse, the heavyweight handset, allegedly outfitted with a quad-core Krait processor, companion Adreno 320 GPU and 2GB RAM, has already been the subject of several leaks, leaving little of its spec load to the imagination. And now with the outing of these Commission docs, we can confirm that this uberphone does indeed pack 3G/4G radios tailored for the Hesse-led operator (CDMA 820 / 850 / 1900; LTE Band 25), as well as support for NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi a/b/g/n, GPS and SVLTE (simultaneous voice and data). While we can’t be exactly sure as to its actual screen size, that reported 4.67-inch figure does appear likely given its 5.2 x 2.8 inch (130.9 x 71.6mm) dimensions. That’s about all we were able to glean from the spate of included tests, but if you call Big Yellow your wireless home and are itching for a GS III alternative, this could be your next.
