"LG Nexus 4" spotted in CarPhoneWarehouse

The inventory listing at the CarPhoneWarehouse has yet again leaked another device, this time the "LG Nexus 4". So far we know that there will be multiple Nexus devices but only the LG (due to this leak) and Samsung's (due to a previous leak) has been confirmed so far.

With that being said, what does the 4 mean? Well, LG's Nexus device is said to be based on the LG Optimus G with a 4.7-inch screen so it can't be referring to the screen size. Whatever it may mean, we shall find out pretty soon.

Android 4.2 and LG Optimus G Nexus.. (rumours)

According to an anonymous tipster on Android and Me, Google will unveil a new version of Android being 4.2 bringing with it bug fixes and maybe new features (maybe multiple users on tablets) but will still be named "Jelly Bean".

Not only that but LG will then go on to announce the Optimus G Nexus or announce the Optimus G as a Nexus device. I'll explain, Google may not be releasing an independent Nexus device like the Nexus One, Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus were but they are instead allowing companies to make a Nexus device but only if they follow certain requirements.

So for example, Samsung could make the Galaxy S4 device a Nexus phone (doubtful) by fulfilling the requirements that Google set. This would also mean that the devices that do get this certification get updates direct from Google, which is a lot faster than most if not all manufacturers/carriers.

LG unveils Optimus Vu II...

With the Samsung Galaxy Note II becoming available around the world, LG has unveiled their second generation phablet, the Optimus Vu II. Design wise, the Vu II retains the 5-inch 4:3 ratio display but gains, wait, looses some bezel to make the phone smaller.

Specs wise, as I've said the Vu II retains it's 5-inch display with a unusual 4:3 aspect ratio and a resolution of 768x1280, the Vu II gains some horsepower from Qualcomm's S4 Pro quad-core chip clocked at 1.5GHz and paired with 2GB of RAM. Camera's on the device include a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls. Internal memory hasn't been specified but expect it to be around 16GB.

The phone will be available in Black, White and Pink and be priced at 966,900 won (around £628) but no officially pricing or release date has been stated.

LG teases Optimus G...

Even though the Optimus G has been formerly announced, it hasn't stopped LG from teasing us with it's behemoth of quad-core power. Of course we're talking about the behemoth power of Qualcomm's quad-core processor that blew benchmarks away when it was unveiled. Anyway, here's the video:

LG Optimus Vu available globally this September, powered by Tegra 3...

After LG confirmed that the Optimus Vu will be available in the US in Q4, LG has gone further and announced global availability this September. Again, it is great to see the Optimus Vu finally launch outside of Korea, the global version will be powered by Nvidia's Tegra 3 processor instead of the dual-core Snapdragon S3 processor.

Besides that the device still packs the same old 5-inch display with 4:3 ratio 768x1024 resolution, rear 8-megapixel and front 1.3-megapixel camera's and 2080mAh battery.

LG Optimus Vu coming to US this quarter...

LG has officially announced that the infamous Optimus Vu will hit U.S. soils this quarter. If you remember we had a leak showing us a Verizon branded Optimus Vu sporting Verizon's LTE bands. The Optimus Vu itself hasn't sold well, partially due to only being sold in Asian markets only.

Hopefully, the Optimus Vu will be met with good perception and furthermore be offered in more countries. Although I'm not particularly a fan of it's 4:3 ratio screen it may be perfect for you.

LG Optimus Zip announced for TracFone...

Today, TracFone has announced a new phone they'll be carrying, the LG Optimus Zip. This android smartphone is definitely at the budget end of the market coming with relatively low-end specs. However, this is a great phone for people who are just embarking on their smartphone adventure because it has a built-in QWERTY keyboard.

The phone encases a 3.2-inch HVGA (320x480) display, powered by a single-core processor clocked at 800MHz. Camera's include a 3.2-megapixel rear snapper but no front-facing camera. Memory capacity hasn't been announced but it has been conformed that it can be expanded by a MicroSD card (up to 32GB).

Verizon bound LG "VS930" photos leaked...

Looks like a variant of the LG Optimus LTE2 may be coming to Verizon after all, after photos have been leaked of a similar looking device bearing Verizon branding upon it but until that is confirmed we shall call it the "VS930".

What ever this device is going to be called, it offers some impressive specs. The phone packs a 4.7-inch 720p HD-IPS display, powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz with unfortunately, only 1GB of RAM,. The device has two cameras, one rear-facing 8-megapixel and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling. Internal storage is 16GB with no word on a MicroSD card slot for expansion.

LG Optimus Vu bound for Verizon leaked...

Spy shots of LG's "phablet" the Optimus Vu have shown up today bearing Verizon's branding upon it, as Verizon is yet to release the infamous Galaxy Note. It appears LG is looking to beat them to the punch. 

The specs of the Optimus Vu are impressive and makes the phone a definite one of a kind, It packs a 4:3 aspect ratio 5.3-inch 720p display (768x1024), on the Verizon network it's said to be powered by a Snapdragon S4 processor with 1GB of RAM which'll most likely mean it's LTE compatible, It has two cameras, one 8-megapixel rear-facer and a 1.3-megapixel front-facer for video calls. 

The device contains 32GB of internal storage that can't be expanded. Battery capacity is a reasonable 2080mAh, which should keep the device running for at least a whole day depending on usage. The Vu was unveiled running Android 2.3 but this looks  to be running Android 4.0.4.

LG Optimus 4X HD available in Europe...

After we first saw the LG Optimus 4X HD at Mobile World Congress, the company has now released their new quad-core powered flagship device in Europe, hitting Germany for 505 Euro's and will be hitting more in the coming month.

The device packs a 4.7-inch HD-IPS display and runs on a quad-core Cortex A9 processor with 1GB of RAM, It runs Android 4.0 out of the box. The device sports a 8 megapixel rear-facing camera with a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera for video calling. The device has 16GB of Storage with the option to expand it using the MicroSD slot.

This phone is one of many top-tier quad-core phones being released this year. After the Optimus 2X's ferocious battle with the Galaxy S2, will the 4X be the winner this time round with Samsung's Galaxy S3?
