LG Optimus 2X to get Ice Cream Sandwich in Q3
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsLGGoogleOptimus 2XAndroid 4.0
That the LG Optimus 2X is going to get Ice Cream Sandwich eventually is something that we know already. After all, the company itself made the announcement of an upcoming ICS update quite a while ago. However, we didn't have much information as to when the said update was going to be released... until today.
As stated by LG Mobile Singapore on Facebook, the LG Optimus 2X Android 4.0 update will start rolling out in Q3 of this year. In other words, there will be no Ice Cream Sandwich for LG Optimus 2X owners for at least another one and a half to three and a half months. Or at least not for those located in Singapore and the surrounding markets.

LG Optimus Elite on pre-order at Virgin Mobile; carrier's first NFC phone in the US
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGOptimus Elite
Sprint may already count the LG Optimus Elite among its roster of smartphones, but today that handset is finding a second home at Virgin Mobile. The $150 Gingerbread-powered device is now up for pre-order, and Virgin says it will start shipping on May 15th. Though the 3.5-inch HVGA display, 800MHz CPU and 5-MP rear camera aren't exactly impressive specs, the Optimus Elite stands out as the carrier's first phone to include NFC and Google Wallet for mobile payments. Unlike Sprint, which offers a white version, Virgin Mobile will only sell the Optimus Elite in silver. And while the former carrier prices the phone at just $30 after a mail-in rebate, Virgin's cheaper monthly plans might convince ...

LG LS970 superphone rumored: 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4, LTE, 13-megapixel camera, 2GB of RAM
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGOptimus G Sprint
BriefMobile has rumored a new LG device with a feature list that looks like a smartphone-lover's dream. The LG LS970, which the site is calling the "Eclipse 4G LTE," is said to be powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor paired with an Adreno 320 GPU and 2GB of RAM. It also includes a 13-megapixel camera, 16GB of storage, and a separate radio capable of voice-over-LTE (VoLTE). The phone itself, unhelpfully pictured from the back, appears to be a proof-of-concept prototype rather than a production-ready device, with an exposed aerial port and unfinished branding.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsLGMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7
Speaking to FierceWireless here, Chris Weber, Nokia’s president for the Americas, said he was not concerned with LG dropping out of the Windows Phone game to focus on Android, saying they were not a major player, and their exit will not have a significant impact.
"I see significant commitment from HTC, Samsung," Weber said. "I actually see increased momentum and commitment form a various set of OEMs on the platform."
He cited the recent announcement of the Samsung Focus 2 as an example of such commitment, saying the $50 handset would benefit the whole ecosystem.

Rumor: LG's next flagship, the D1L, to come with wireless charging
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLG
LG announced “the world’s first quad core smartphone” at Mobile World Congress in February of this year. Dubbed the Optimus 4X HD, it still hasn’t hit the market, meanwhile the HTC One X has, and it has the same quad core NVIDIA Tegra 3 inside. Anyway, just like the HTC One X has a dual core variant that relies on Qualcomm’s S4 Snapdragon, LG is said to have an Optimus 4X variant called the D1L that also uses the S4 Snapdragon. We don’t know when this mythical handset will hit the market, but according to the South Korean website DDaily, we know that it’s going to have at least one feature that makes it unique: wireless charging. Assuming the D1L can be recharged without having to fiddle wit...

LG Optimus 4X HD benchmarks impressive, on par with the HTC One X
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGOptimus 4X HD
The LG Optimus 4X HD is no joke when it comes to specs - it’s the successor of the first dual-core phone ever, last year’s Optimus 2X, and it packs all four plus one cores of the latest Nvidia Tegra 3. And it’s got the benchmarks to prove it.
The 4X HD scored an impressive 4512 in Quadrant, and while that’s slightly short of the 4,909 scored by the HTC One X which also sports the Tegra 3 in its international version, the LG phone managed to beat the One X in AnTuTu. Below are the scores from both handsets in three different benchmarks. To put things in wider perspective, the HTC One S scored around 5,000 in Quadrant in our tests.
