South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics has already made a move into the Android side of the smartphone market, with the launch of LG GW620, which is also known around the Web as the LG Eve. However, it seems that the company does not plan to stop only here, but that it will come to the market with yet another such device in 2010, this time a more powerful and probably more appealing one.

According to the latest news around the Internet, LG stated that it plans walking the same road that Acer and Sony Ericsson walked with their Android-based mobile phones: it will pack the handset with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The XPERIA X10 from Sony Ericsson will come to the market next year with the powerful 1GHz processor inside, while the Acer Liquid is already available for purchase, only that its processor has been clocked lower.

In case the reports pan out, we might soon see the handset vendor coming to the market with one of the speediest mobile phones powered by Google's Android operating system. However, there is also a downside here, namely the fact that LG is reported to plan launching the phone in its home land market only, and that the device is expected to land only in the second half of the next year.

Even so, there are great chances that it will be released on other markets too, though nothing is yet official. Exact specifications on the handset also lack, but the future should bring us more details on it, that's for sure. For what it's worth, the inclusion of a Snapdragon processor with this handheld suggests that it will be much different from the LG Eve, which has just been released in Canada on Rogers' airwaves. Stay tuned to learn more details on this Android device from LG as soon as they become available.
