LG is been busy in the last few months with the release of the Nexus
4 grabbing most of the headlines especially regarding the lack of
supply to the Google Play Store, but they also released the flagship
Optimus G smartphone to a handful of country’s towards the end of last
year. Now though we have news of an LG Optimus G release for some new
LTE markets.
Earlier today we heard how the LG Optimus G Pro was revealed
officially in Japan at least, but now the company has announced the
Optimus G will be reaching another fifty countries in the coming weeks.
Consumers in the likes of the US, Canada, Japan, and Korea have had
access to the Optimus G for a while now, and now the handset will begin
its global rollout beginning with Singapore at the end of this month,
with other regions following shortly after.
The Optimus G
will also have 4G LTE onboard in any country that has the networks that
support the technology, and while the handset originally launched
running the Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, these new
regions will see the handset have the latest Android Jelly Bean OS and
hopefully 4.2.
To recap the handset features a 4.7-inch True HD IPS+ touchscreen
display with a resolution of 1280 x 768, which has a quad core
Snapdragon S4 Pro processor clocked at 1.5GHz under the hood. This is
paired with 2GB of RAM and a thirteen megapixel rear facing camera.
The company has had all the supply issues on its hands recently surrounding the Nexus 4 and the Google Play Store, which it recently
stated that the production would be increased with it finally meeting
the demand, but LG are also trying to push their other products out to
consumers as much as possible.
Obviously the handset will also be available as an unlocked option as
well in the countries that will be getting the smartphone in the coming
weeks, and we will have to wait for the individual carriers to announce
the availability and pricing for the device.
Will you be getting the LG Optimus G?
