Last week, we had the chance to learn a series of interesting details on various Windows Phone 7-based handsets from South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics, and some new info on the matter started to emerge.

One of the handsets leaked last week was the LG E900, which has made it into the wild once again, this time with new photos and videos with it available for your viewing pleasure, and with some new details available on its specs.

The new photos with LG E900 come from Android.com.pl (via Engadget), which claims that the handset would be powered by a 1.3GHz Qualcomm QSD8650A chipset.

Still a Snapdragon processor, the new silicon should offer increased performance levels, including better 2D and 3D graphics acceleration, or HD video recording and playback.

But this is not all, it seems, as the handset would also come with multi-mode UMTS and CDMA 3G connectivity, as well as with integrated GPS receiver.

According to the guys over at Android.com.pl, the upcoming LG E900 handset should sport a 3.7-inch touchscreen display.

At the same time, they note that the mobile phone would include a miniUSB port and a 3.5mm headphone jack, as well as light and proximity sensors.

Other details on this device are still unavailable for the time being, including those on its release and availability on the market.

However, previous rumors on this suggested that LG would plan bringing its Windows Phone handsets on the market sometime in early Q4, in line with Microsoft's announcement on the platform's release in October.

LG E900 was said to be one of the first Windows Phone 7 device the company would launch of the market, along with another rumored handset, the C900.

Since specific info on its arrival are not available, all we can do at the moment is to have a look at the videos below, so as to make an idea on how it goes along with Microsoft's new mobile OS.

UPDATE: As it turns out, the handset would include only a 1GHz processor when launched on the market. It should be the QSD8650 chip, and not the QSD8650A one, as stated above.

The second screenshot made me actually credit this phone.

The low-res captures previously made the bottom of the phone look really bad.
