We knew this is coming and voila – LG has officially announced Optimus LTE for Canadian Bell. Needless to say, LG’s superphone will get a prominent place in the carrier’s portfolio as the flagship LTE-enabled smartphone.
The device we’re talking about is arguably the best Android smartphone ever made, even better than the Google Nexus Galaxy even though it doesn’t run Ice Cream Sandwich (but it’s safe to say it will get the update in the near future). There are four reasons for this:
- It has a better screen – 4.5-inch 1280×720 pixels True HD IPS, which is the best phone display evar
- It has an 8-megapixel camera – while the one Galaxy Nexus has counts “just” 5 megapixels
- It’s LTE-enabled – though Verizon’s version will come with LTE
- It has a faster CPU – 1.5GHz vs Nexus Galaxy’s 1.2GHz, both are dual-core
Rest of the specs are pretty much the same and include Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, and array of sensors, HDMI out, memory card slot and so on.
Unfortunately, LG “forgot” to mention the price in its press release so we’ll have to wait for Bell to find that out. Stay tuned…
