LG halts tablet development to renew its focus on smartphones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLG
Like its competitor HTC, LG is turning away from tablets and focusing on smartphones for its mobile strategy. Ken Hong, a spokesman for the Korean manufacturer, told Bloomberg that “We’ve decided to put all new tablet development on the back burner for the time being in order to focus on smartphones.”
LG has made a few tablets, including the Optimus Pad which launched alongside several high-profile Optimus-branded smartphones. Sales figures for LG’s tablet line are not known, but they are likely low. Apple’s iPad dominates the tablet market and companies like IDC predict the iPad’s lead will only grow in 2012. As a result, there’s not a lot of room for new products to compete.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsLGGoogleSpectrumAndroid 4.0
There are a number of things you gotta love about the LG Spectrum.

There is a 1.5GHz dual-core processor inside it and an 8-megapixel camera at its back. Yet in charge of this potent hardware we still see the aging Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

LG E970 for AT&T with Adreno 320 GPU comes out on top of graphics benchmarks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGAT&T
Now we don't know whether the LG E970 for AT&T that appeared in GLBenchmark's database will sport the dual-core MSM8960 Pro Snapdragon, or the quad-core APQ8064, but it will surely sport the new Adreno 320 graphics processor, judging from the GPU details revealed.
The specs also list HD 1280x768 pixels display and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and we've heard before that the Sprint version - LG LS970 "Eclipse" - of this new LG flagship might feature 2GB of RAM, like the LG Optimus LTE 2, and sport a quad-core processor, so that's what could be in store for AT&T's version as well.

When 720p displays are no longer deemed as unique, we sometimes forget that the LG Nitro HD was actually the first AT&T smartphone to offer one – then again, it’s still sporting Gingerbread. So yeah, some people have probably tried looking at other things to quench their thirst for the latest and greatest Android build.

LG LS860 leaked: a five-row QWERTY sliding smartphone with Sprint LTE?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGSprint
BriefMobile's tipster has done it again, bringing us another leaked image of a rumored high-end LG smartphone. This time, however, the handset's claim to fame isn't a quad-core processor or a 13-megapixel camera: rather, the LG LS860 "Cayenne" allegedly has the neatly staggered five-row QWERTY keyboard, 4-inch IPS screen, and 1.2GHz dual-core processor it needs to be a competent Droid 4 competitor. While we wouldn't dream of suggesting that the supposed Sprint LTE smartphone might succeed without even seeing the device in the flesh, we sure hope BriefMobile is right that the slider will come with Android 4.0 right from the beginning. After all, Motorola's Droid 4 won't see an Ice Cream Sandw...
