14 DAY TRIAL // LG has already confirmed its new Android flagship smartphone, the Optimus G, will be launched in Canada in the following weeks.
Although the smartphone will go on sale at multiple Canadian carriers, we only have a few details on the Optimus G exact release dates and pricing options.
It looks like the guys over at MobileSyrup have recently learned that TELUS will launch the LG Optimus G on November 13. Even though we still don't have any details on the phone’s price tag, we’re pretty sure more info will surface close to launch.
In any case, Rogers has already announced it will offer the LG Optimus G for as low as $129.99 CAD (100 EUR) with a new three-year agreement or for $599.99 CAD (465 EUR) on no-term.
TELUS is likely to offer similar deals on LG Optimus G, but this has yet to be confirmed in the following weeks, so stay tuned for more updates on this one.
Now for those wondering which version of LG Optimus G will arrive at TELUS, it appears that the Canadian carrier will offer the same model as AT&T.
This means the smartphone will come with an 8-megapixel rear camera, instead of the 13-megapixel photo snapper available with the Sprint’s variant.
Moreover, TELUS Optimus G will pack 16GB storage and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 16GB. In comparison, Sprint’s Optimus G embeds 32GB of internal memory but lacks microSD card slot.
Unfortunately, LG Optimus G has been confirmed to ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system out of the box. Still, the South Korean company promised a Jelly Bean upgrade would be offered pretty soon.
Last but not least, TELUS Optimus G sports a stunning 4.7-inch True HD IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (768 x 1280 pixels) resolution, and packs a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor, along with 2GB of RAM.
