LG officially announces Snapdragon S4 Pro-powered Optimus G

LG has announced the Optimus G smartphone with the second generation quad-core processor. 

Some of the key specs of the LG Optimus G are :- 

• 4.7-inch True HD IPS+ display with a resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels
• 1.5GHz Quad-Core processor
• Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor
• LTE, 3G, EDGE/GPRS and Wi-Fi capabilities for net access
• 13 MP camera with LED flash and 1.3MP secondary camera up front
• 2GB DDR2 RAM
• 2100 mAh battery capacity
• Dimensions are 131.9 x 68.9 x 8.45mm

LG Display’s contribution to the project was in the development of a new mobile display that is clearer than AMOLED displays but requires less power. LG Display’s True HD IPS+ Display is sharper than today’s AMOLED displays due to its high pixel density of 320ppi (1280 x 768 pixels) and Stripe RGB IPS Panel. This new display is capable of generating 470 nits of brightness while consuming 70 percent less power compared to others when displaying a white background. Furthermore, True HD IPS+ Display does not suffer from screen burn-in as AMOLED displays have been known to do.

The handset will launch in Korea next month and a month later in Japan. The Optimus G is expected to be launched later this year, but as of now, there is no price available for this latest smartphone from LG.
