LG X3 May be Android 4.0 Flagship Model

Just days after announcing its first 4G LTE Android tablet, the Optimus Pad LTE, details have emerged for a high-end smartphone.

Based on the rumored specifications, LG may be ready to unveil a flagship Android 4.0 handset next month at Mobile World Congress.



According to information obtained by Pocketnow, the LG X3 should boast a Tegra 3 quad-core processor, a massive 1,280x720-pixel 4.7-inch display, and an 8-megapixel camera. Additionally it should have a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera, 16GB storage, Bluetooth 4.0, HSPA+ connectivity, NFC, and a 2,000mAh battery. That's not too shabby for a phone with an alleged sub-9mm (0.35-inch) profile.

Even if LG announces the handset at Mobile World Congress we may be a few months away from seeing it touch down in the United States. Indeed, LG has a habit of releasing the same model across various regions, often giving other countries a slight head start. For now, Pocketnow predicts a late spring or early summer release date, possibly with LTE connectivity.

I'm becoming a bigger fan of LG's moves lately, what with the Nitro HD, Spectrum, and Viper. As many Android users begin to consider new devices, LG is poised to steal away a bit of Samsung and HTC's market.
