Well, we finally got our hands on the LG Nitro HD and we’re pretty impressed with this 4G LTE device on AT&T.
The first thing you’ll notice is the 4.5-inch True HD IPS display which can deliver 720p resolution. At the LG event in New York, the company was showing it against a competing Samsung device and the Nitro HD really blew it out of the water. It appears that was a Galaxy S II though, so we’ll have to see how it stacks up to other 720p screens like the one on the Galaxy Nexus or the Rezound.
Inside, the Nitro HD is packing a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and that should be plenty of horsepower for running apps and surfing the web. It will come with Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread but LG insists the device is ready for Ice Cream Sandwich, so let’s hope we won’t have to wait too long. On the back, you have that textured finish and an 8-megapixel camera – let’s hope LG can keep on par with Apple, Samsung and HTC in terms of high-quality camera.
While AT&T’s 4G LTE network is still pretty limited, this phone looks to be a great device no matter what market you’re in. We’ll be reviewing the device soon, so keep your eyes peeled.
Update: Enjoy the hardware and software videos and look for the full review shortly.
