Hasta La Gadget!

Earlier we had reported that LG had in a way confirmed some of the specs of its upcoming flagship phone, which many believe will be known as the LG Optimus G. Unfortunately the design of the phone has yet to be seen, but thanks to the folks at AndroidMX, they have managed to get their hands on the device as pictured above. With confirmed specs pointing at a 1280×768 True HD IPS+ Display and a quad-core processor powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 chipset, the folks at AndroidMX are saying that that the phone “really flies”.

With IFA taking place in Berlin this week, many are speculating that LG could be unveiling the device then, although LG did mention earlier that no new smartphones will be revealed then, so perhaps the LG Optimus G will be getting an event of its own. In any case we will be covering IFA so hopefully we will have more details then, if not be sure to check back with us regularly as we will be keeping an eye on this and will post once we have more information.

LG must know that word of the Optimus G has been spoiled, even if it’s not quite ready to put all its cards on the table. While it’s only acknowledging the phone’s identity under a ‘G’ codename, the Korean electronics giant is willing to talk a lot about what’s under the hood. Among the truly new revelations: that uncommonly wide 1,280 x 768 screen, now called the G2 Touch Hybrid Display, is a 30 percent thinner gapless panel that puts the LCD right near the glass in a way that just might be familiar to HTC One X owners. We don’t know for certain if it’s one of those newly-shipping in-cell touch panels, but that name certainly suggests LG is setting aside a few of those cutting-edge LCDs for itself. There’s also a treat in store for those who work their phones to the bone — a newly refined battery can go through 800 full recharge cycles before it gives up the ghost, or about 60 percent more than we’ve seen in the past. Combine these with the quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro we already knew was coming, and the Optimus G could be quite the technology showcase for both LG’s native South Korea as well as the US through a possible Sprint model.

Not too long ago, specs of LG’s upcoming 4.7” Android quad-core phone leaked. However as with the cases of most leaks and rumors, they’re best approached with a hint of skepticism just in case they fall short. Well as some of you guys know by now, IFA will be taking place next week and LG may have confirmed the devices themselves by creating a new website that talks about a new phone by them that sports the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor along with a quad-core chipset, supposedly unrivaled in mobile computing. Rumored to be known as the LG Optimus G, apart from its quad-core processor, the handset is also rumored to feature 2GB of RAM and a 13MP camera to boot. This is probably the closest thing we can get to a confirmation for now, but if you’d like to learn more about the device, be sure to check back with us during IFA as we will be bringing you all the details!

Men love horsepower – never mind that some of us do not have the necessary skill to control the beastly machine which we sit in. Well, good thing smartphones, no matter how much processing power it holds in the chassis, can still be manipulated, and if the LG Optimus G is anything to go by thanks to its leaked list of system specifications, then we might have a serious contender on our hands. The LG Optimus G is said to come with a 4.7-inch TrueHD IPS touchscreen display, where it is powered by a quad-core processor, accompanied by 2GB RAM, a 13-megapixel camera, support for Voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology, in addition to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as the operating system of choice.

This does seem to be headed for the Samsung Galaxy S3′s jugular, just like how LG went up against the Samsung Galaxy Note phablet with their very own LG Optimus Vu in recent memory. Do you think the Galaxy S3 should feel threatened?
