LG’s upcoming X3 handset is bound to be a doozy of a phone, given that we’ve seen the specs pop up a few times now. Now we’re also hearing that the handset may be called the Optimus 4X HD when launched and it may even end up being the T-Mobile G2X successor later on.

The LG X3 / Optimus 4X HD is said to rock a 4.7 inch 720p display, possibly of the True HD IPS variety, NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 8 megapixel camera, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, 2000 mAh battery, NFC, WiFi, Bluetooth, and just about anything else you’d expect to see in a super phone of this kind. Also, the Optimus 4X HD will ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and likely with LG’s custom user interface running on top. We can also expect this handset to ship with a very thin profile, somewhere below 9mm.

According to PocketNow, this handset has also been referred to as the T-Mobile G4X, which makes it look like it will be the obvious successor to the T-Mobile G2X. If this does end up being true, we can only hope that this particular handset isn’t the headache that the G2X ended up being for users.

The Optimus 4X HD is not only a very powerful handset coming from LG, but it’s one of the few very powerful phones coming from the company for Mobile World Congress. With the Style line, the VU, and Optimus 3D Cube/Max already popping up everywhere, we’re wondering if LG has something to announced that hasn’t already been found out.

    They will have a tough time selling this to any T-Mobile customer like myself that bought the LG G2X on similar hype. What a disappointment that phone is/was.

    This phone is just perfect for me; I’m saving every penny so I can get it as soon as it’s released. The Optimus 4X HD’s quad-core processor and 4.7 inch True HD IPS display make it perfect for watching videos or in my case, TV shows. I love the HD programming I get at home through my employer, DISH, so can’t wait to get as great of a picture on my phone with the Optimus 4X HD and the DISH Remote Access app. I use the DISH app to watch TV on my phone all the time but the screen doesn’t compare to the Optimus 4X HD’s screen. I hope it’s released soon!
