Smartphones MWC

Smartphones MWC, LG is delivering something for everyone here at Mobile World Congress—that is, if you’re an Android fan. The company unleashed six new global phones today, including three affordable but good-looking handsets, a new 3D phone, a quad-core smartphone, and a phablet (read: big phone), the LG Optimus Vu. And I got to spend some time with all of them.

LG’s several announcements at this show are just the stats, Daniel Hernandez, LG Mobile Product Marketing Director said. “In 2012 we’re going to be providing the next breakthrough in LTE speed with a full lineup of revolutionary LTE products,” he said. Since only one of the phones LG is showing at the show, the Optimus Vu, is an LTE handset, that means there are a whole lot more to come.

“Later on in 2012 we’ll be showing you more of these exciting new LTE devices,” Hernandez said.

LG Optimus 4X HD
The new quad-core LG Optimus 4X HD is the best of LG’s new bunch. Then we’ll get to some decent entry-level phones, and then the silly season begins.

The Optimus 4X HD will likely be the first Nvidia Tegra 3 phone to his the U.S. market. It’s packing a quad-core processor running at 1.5GHz, with Android 4.0, and a large 2150mAh battery. There’s an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 1.3-megapixel camera on the front. NFC is on board as well.
