LG is aiming for the Galaxy S IIIs and One Xs of the world with its latest Android handset, the Optimus G. Announced on Tuesday in Seoul, the new phone features top-of-the-line accoutrements such as a 1.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM, NFC, and 32GB of built-in storage.
Oddly enough, LG is going to offer the Optimus G with either an 8- or 13-megapixel rear camera, both capable of shooting up to 1080p video. For viewing all that content, the Optimus G will make use of a 4.7-inch, 1280×768 pixel display with a unique 15:9 screen ratio (16:9 is common on Android handsets and even Apple's iPhone 5).
LG is also touting the Optimus G as the first 4G LTE smartphone with a quad-core processor. While quad-core handsets are becoming quite popular overseas, they've so far been limited to 3G networks. We've seen the growth of LTE phones in the U.S., but so far there hasn't been a quad-core 4G handset stateside.
Aside from hardware, LG has made a lot of software changes to Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. LG's "QSlide Function" enables users to view two different apps side-by-side on one display. The idea here is to allow users to multitask more efficiently on their phone — e.g., sending a tweet while looking at a website at the same time.
LG has also added a feature that allows for zooming in and out of a video being played on the device, whether streamed or stored on-board. And another feature, called "Dual Screen Dual Play" allows for an Optimus G user to stream one image to a nearby HDTV while looking at a different image on their phone. For example, a business presentation could be wirelessly streamed to a TV while the phone displayed speaking notes.
Another cool feature: The camera can snap a photo as soon as a user says a specific word, such as cheese, kimchi or smile (those are LG's examples, not ours).
LG says the Optimus G will go on sale in Korea next week, with launches in "key global markets in October." No word yet on whether the Optimus G will hit the U.S., but LG is hosting a press event in New York Wednesday morning, so we might have an answer on this tomorrow.
