The LG Optimus 4X HD India launch has kicked off, bringing the headstrong combination of ICS and a quad core chipset to fans in the country. This smartphone was unveiled along with the LG Optimus L5 at an event held in the country yesterday.
To be exact, the smartphone in question houses an Nvidia 4-Plus-1 quad-core Tegra 3 processor working in tandem with a 2,150mAh powerhouse hidden within its chassis. Like most of us already know, quad-core SOCs activate all 4 cores when the power need arises, but put the fifth core to conserve battery life. Adding considerable weight to the specs sheet is its embedded 8MP autofocus imager with flash as well as a front-facing 1.3MP sensor.
As seen with many LG devices unveiled lately, the handset sports a generously proportioned 4.7-inch True HD IPS touchscreen that renders images in resolutions of 1280 x 720p. The display delivers 313ppi sharpness and its integrated Stripe RGB IPS Panel is designed to keep visuals, text and other forms of content clear and colorful. It proffers 16:9 aspect ratios that should allow potential users to peruse a plethora of content in a single view.
Housing 1GB RAM, the device features 16GB internal memory that is expandable up to 64GB along with 50GB free cloud storage. In terms of connectivity, the LG Optimus 4X HD drags along Wi-Fi, DLNA, BLuetooth 4.0, NFC and AGPS. Going quite literally with its name, the smartphone extends support to full HD video recording.
The all new Optimus UI 3.0 that was released not so long ago is neatly melded with the new smartphone. This interface boasts of QuickMemo that allows scribbling of notes or memos on the device without the need for a stylus. The handset deploys a utility dubbed Media Plex that is basically tailored to improve video and image streaming.
The LG Optimus 4X HD India price and release date have been disclosed. It is pegged at Rs. 34,990 and should ship within the next 2 weeks.
