South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics is gearing up for the release of a new highly appealing Android-based smartphone, the Optimus G, and is currently making the latest preparations for that.

Yesterday, the company has sent out press invites to an event set for September 19th in the United States, and is rumored to plan on making the new device official at that time.

Of course, info on the smartphone has been already seen on the web, mostly coming from LG themselves, so there’s little not known on this smartphone.

However, LG hasn’t yet announced a specific release date for the Optimus G, nor has it delivered info on the mobile phone’s price tag as of yet.

Touted as a device capable of changing the way in which users see smartphones, Optimus G packs a great deal of state-of-the-art technology inside.

The event slated for September 19th will show to the world what the new device is capable of providing users with, so that they would enjoy a mobile experience free of any limitations.

“LG and Qualcomm cordially invite you Live Without Boundaries. This exclusive event takes place on September 19 at [REDACTED], where you will receive a first-hand look at an upcoming LG smartphone,” the press invite LG sent out reads, according to Android Police.

“LG and Qualcomm executives will be on hand to show off the device and discuss how this partnership is taking both companies to new heights.”

Optimus G has been built as part of a collaboration between LG and Qualcomm, and is said to be able to create a “New Era of mobile computing.”

The handset features a 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus screen, a 1.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro application processor complemented by 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 13-megapixel photo snapper on the back, 1.3MP camera on the front, and support for LTE connectivity.
