14 DAY TRIAL // LG Electronics is one of the mobile phone makers expected to bring to the market a Nexus smartphone before the end of this year, and more confirmation on the matter has emerged.
The phone has been said before to sport the codename of Mako, in line with Google’s codenames for previous Nexus devices, and a NenaMark2 listing has been spotted for the handset.
For those out of the loop, we should note that NenaMark is a popular benchmarking tool, and that it usually offers info on a device’s processor, screen resolution and OS flavor.
The same has happened with LG’s Nexus smartphone as well, which is now confirmed to sport a 1196×768 resolution, which should translate into 1280×768, if we were to add the soft navigation keys into the mix.
Apparently, the True-HD IPS screen will hide a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor inside, complemented by an Adreno 320 GPU, with each core clocked in at 1.5GHz (info confirmed by the AnTuTu benchmark as well).
As the guys over at Droid-Life note, the smartphone emerged on NenaMark with the “JellyBeanMR1” platform on board, in line with what previous rumors on the smartphone unveiled.
Of course, there still are a series of details on this smartphone that the benchmarking results did not unveil, yet the long series of rumors that we’ve seen before did manage to fill in the blacks.
For example, we also expect LG’s Nexus smartphone to hit shelves with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for full HD video recording and the like, as well as with a front camera for making video calls while on the go.
The usual set of connectivity features and sensors will also be there, as well as a new flavor of Google’s Android operating system, which means more features for users to enjoy. More info on the handset should emerge in the coming weeks.
