LG Electronics, the South Korean mobile phone maker that announced a little while ago that it planned to become the second largest cell phone vendor in the world, also unveiled a few days ago that it purposed to bring back to the market one of the most successful mobile phone brands it had produced, namely LG Chocolate.

While the company hasn't unveiled too many details on the upcoming device, rumors broke soon after its announcements and pointed towards the fact that the new Chocolate device was none other than the LG Chocolate BL40 (where BL40 would mean that this was the fourth handset in the Black Label series).

This time around, the same device comes to the fore once more, only that now we can see it in a promo video, which has most likely leaked from the mobile phone maker's labs and has been unleashed willingly. Some of the most interesting features that the new device is reportedly coming to the market with include the 4.0-inch touchscreen display that is capable of delivering an 800 x 345-pixel resolution, while also boasting a 21:9 aspect ratio. Moreover, the news also show that the display of the new phone comes covered with tempered glass, a feature that makes it scratch-proof (resembling the display that is now available with the company's LG Secret).

The LG Chocolate BL40 can currently be admired on YouTube, and it seems that some more specs on it have been also unveiled to the world. Thus, we can report that it is expected to come with Multi-touch input capabilities, as well as with an Active Flash UI, a virtual QWERTY keyboard, an HSDPA 7.2 Mbps connectivity, the A-GPS functionality and Wi-Fi capabilities. According to some of the rumors around the web, the handset might also sport a 3.5mm headset jack, as well as a 5-megapixel photo snapper that should also include a Schneider-Kreuznach lens and flash. It shouldn't be too long before LG officially announces the device but, until that day comes, you should check with the video below.
