14 DAY TRIAL // South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics announced on Tuesday plans to come to the market with a new version of its very popular Chocolate mobile phone. Although it mentioned that the new device should land sometime before the end of August, the company hasn't said too much on the specifications of the handset.
Fortunately, some details on what the upcoming phone will be able to deliver to users have leaked into the wild in the meantime, including a model number, LG BL40, which clearly shows that this phone is the fourth in the company's Black Label Series, following the original Chocolate handset, released three years ago, and the LG Shine and LG Secret, the other two included in the lineup.
A UA Profile that has been loaded on the company's site shows that the new mobile phone should come to the market with a 21:9 aspect ratio display (Cinema widescreen), which is just being introduced on normal LCD TVs, it seems. Moreover, the display of the LG Chocolate BL40 is reported to feature a 345 x 800 pixel resolution, while boasting more than 3 inches in size.
The device should come to the market sporting a thin form factor, though the phone in itself is also stated to be rather narrow. In addition, according to Tweakers.net, we should also hear that the handset will feature a 5-megapixel photo snapper, as well as GPRS, UMTS and HSDPA when it comes to its supported connectivity.
Other possible specs of the new LG BL40 Chocolate Black Label Series 4 should also include MMS capabilities, a proprietary operating system from the phone maker, as well as the Obigo Q7.3 browser that comes with full HTML support. LG already promised that more details on the device would emerge to the Web, so stay tuned to learn more on this.
