Boldly launching just hours before the mobile phone world undergoes its collective gusset moistening techgasm over the new iPhone, LG have released the rather stunning Optimus LTE.
Apple-besting display
At 326ppi the high definition AH-IPS screen matches Apple’s magnificent Retina Display, but boosts the resolution up to a mighty 1280 x 720 pixels in a bigger swathe of 4.5″ glass.
There’s a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU inside, backed by an eight megapixel camera, 1GB of RAM, and 4GB of internal memory expandable by another 32GB via a Micro SD slot.
Beefy battery
A chunky 1830mAh battery should see the phone doing its stuff over a long day, while the 132.9 x 67.9 x 10.4 mm dimensions means it won’t be too much of a pocket ripper.
The only fly in the ointment for all this Android 2.3 Gingerbread-powered loveliness is the fact that so far there’s only been a Korean release planned. Bah!
Admire, if you will, the press release below, which also shares a listing of all those impressive specs:
