LG has announced that its Optimus 4X HD, first revealed to the world
at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, in February this
year, is finally about to make its debut in the world markets – starting
with Western Europe first. Just what kind of hardware does the LG
Optimus 4X HD carry? Let us go through a little bit of a refresher here –
you will, of course, get the uber speedy NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, not
to mention the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system
right out of the box so that you need not wait for any software update
after that.
The LG Optimus 4X HD is also said to carry one of the biggest
capacities among quad-core smartphones at 2,150mAh, and the 4.7″ True HD
IPS display is definitely a treat for your eyes. Since the MWC
announcement, the LG Optimus 4X HD has also been slapped with a new SiO+
battery technology, Quick Memo for enhanced productivity and Media Plex
that delivers an advanced multimedia experience.
To get a better idea on how the NVIDIA 4-PLUS-1 Quad-Core mobile
processor works, the Tegra 3 will make use of a fifth core for the best
power efficiency and outstanding performance. In order to eke out the
maximum performance, the Tegra 3 is will run on all four cores, although
when it is in standby mode, the processor will default to the fifth, a
battery-saver core. LG claims that a future upgrade will see the
introduction of the Eco-Mode which was tailor made for the Optimus 4X
HD, where it will enable users to manually shut down any of the Tegra
3’s cores for additional control over power consumption and performance.
Nice to know that the battery itself is removable, so you can always
swap it out with another battery when the going gets tough and there is
no power outlet in sight. Definitely a plus point here. As for the Quick
Memo feature that we talked about earlier, this integration into the
operating system of the Optimus 4X HD allows it to be activated within
any application, ranging from games to video players. You can also jot
memos or notes over a screen image, saving it up for later, or to share
it with others.
No idea on pricing just yet, but we do know that Europe will receive
the Optimus 4X HD first before Asia, CIS, South and Central America get
their hands on it.
