14 DAY TRIAL // South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics is gearing up for the release of a series of great new devices later this month, during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The handset vendor has already started to send out invitations for the launch event, which will be held in Barcelona on February 27th.
While the company was keen on not unveiling specific info on these devices, it did mention that there would be revolutionary smartphones launched on that day.
This leaves room for a lot of speculation, especially considering Nvidia’s recent announcement that there will be quad-core devices unveiled at the event.
LG is one of the companies expected to announce quad-core smartphones at the conference in Spain, and the said invitation appears to confirm that.
LG’s quad-core smartphone is said to be the X3 (most probably Optimus X3). It should arrive on shelves with an Nvidia Tegra 3 SoC inside, along with a 4.7-inch display that can deliver a 1280x720 pixels resolution, and Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on top.
The handset is also expected to pack 16GB of internal memory, along with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, and a 1.3MP camera on the front for video calling.
Another rumored LG device that could debut at the MWC is the dual-core LG CX2, which was spotted online as the Optimus 3D 2 / Optimus 3D MAX.
The specs list of this device would include a 1.2GHz dual-core Texas Instruments CPU, along with a NOVA 3D display, 5MP dual-cameras on the back, 8GB of internal storage, DLNA capabilities, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and Bluetooth 3.0.
Another handset that LG might make official in late February is the LG Optimus Vu, recently teased as a 5-inch beast boasting a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Rumor has it that the mobile phone maker might also unveil devices such as the LG E400 Optimus L3, or the LG Miracle running under Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform.
