Canadian mobile phone carrier Bell is expected to add to its offering a new LTE-capable Android-based smartphone in the near future, none other than the LG Optimus LTE smartphone, and it seems that this will happen no later than November.

The handset was rumored not too long ago to be on its way to this wireless operator in Canada, and some more proof on the matter has just emerged.

A leaked slide from the carrier has just emerged over at MobileSyrup, showing the new new device is expected to become available for purchase sometime towards the end of November.

Apparently, the slide was hidden within the carrier's Q3 2011 results that came out today, and shows that the mobile phone will be a Bell exclusive, and that it will sport an HD display.

Some of the previous rumors on this device suggested that it might be released with a large 4.5-inch touchscreen display that would indeed sport a 1280 x 720 pixels resolution, and that it will include a fast 1.5GHz dual-core application processor inside.

The specifications list of this device also sports an 8-megapixel photo snapper that should be capable of recording videos in full HD, along with a 1830 mAh battery for increased usage time.

Although not mentioned, we might also expect the new device to arrive on shelves with a front-facing camera to enable video calling.

Moreover, it should also include the usual WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities, along with a microSD memory card slot for expanding the available storage space, and built-in GPS receiver with support for navigation services.

For the time being, however, neither Bell nor LG would offer confirmation on the availability of this Android-based mobile phone, though a formal announcement on the matter might be made in the near future, so stay tuned to learn more on it.
