New LG Windows Phone Emerges Ahead of CES 2012

Next week, South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics is expected to unveil to the world a new smartphone that would run under Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system.

The new handset appears to be different from the LG Fantasy smartphone that emerged last year, and should make an official appearance during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The photos attached to this article show a device that appears to be only an engineering sample, and not the final product.

When made commercially available, the smartphone should feature more polished buttons, though they would still be capacitive. The LG Windows Phone will be thin and should feature rough edges.

According to Pocketnow, the specs list of this device should also include a front-facing webcam, as well as a proximity sensor and light sensor.
