This is how the Prada II from LG should look like

LG Prada II, successor of the Prada phone released by the South Korean company last year and sold in about 1 million units so far, will bring lots of new and improved features. Although, at the moment, we have nothing official regarding the Prada II, an almost complete list with its specs has appeared on the Web, via Boy Genius Report.

 

The new Prada will keep the 3 inch TFT display of the old one, as well as the 240 x 400 pixel resolution and the Flash UI. The novelties are represented by: HSDPA connectivity, motion sensor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and a full QWERTY keyboard – quite an unusual feature, considering that we're talking about a phone made for fashion-loving mobile users and not for businesspersons.

 

LG Prada II will also come equipped with a 5 Megapixel camera with auto focus, flash and video recording (in VGA mode) – a great improvement from the 2 MP camera of the first Prada, which doesn't even have auto focus. Sure, this camera is no match for the 8 Megapixel one packed into the upcoming KC910, but if it’s on par with the Viewty one when it comes to photo quality, then the Prada II will surely enter the select world of high-end camera phones.

 

The future Prada is said to measure 104.5 x 54 x 16.8 millimeters and rely on a 950 mAh battery of unknown performances.

 

No word yet on when LG will fully and officially present the fashionable phone. Moreover, a price for the handset has not been given, but since the first Prada was quite expensive, we should expect the new one to retail for about 1,000 USD (700 Euros).

 

While waiting the announcement of Prada II, I can't help asking myself when Samsung will decide to come up with an Armani II. Because it has to, otherwise its South Korean neighbor will be left alone in the fashion-brand-named area of the mobile industry.
