LG Splendor heading for US Cellular...

US Cellular will be getting a new LG handset by the name of Splendor (US730). The LG Splendor -spotted by SmartphonePhenom- appeared on a product page on LG's US support site but has since been pulled.
Specs are decent pack a fair screen size, Qualcomm processor and 5-megapixel camera.

Exact specs include a 4.3-inch display with WVGA resolution (800x480), powered by a single-core Snapdragon S3 (MSM8655) processor clocked at 1GHz with 512MB of RAM. Camera's include a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling. Internal storage is at  2GB but can be expanded by MicroSD card up to 32GB presumably.

The phone sports a thin profile coming in at just 0.34", other than that the phone features typical LG style with the central home button below the display with two capacitive buttons either side of the home button.

Sony Xperia SL is official!

Looks like a Sony employee accidentally published an official page for the upcoming Xperia SL, a week before Sony's pre-IFA show on the 29th August. The page leaked colour options, battery life statistics and of course, the specs. The Xperia SL is a refresh of the Xperia S, hopefully these changes make an impact.

So, the phone packs a 4.3-inch display with 720p HD resolution (720x1280), powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S3 processor clocked at 1.7GHz (up from 1.5GHz) with 1GB of RAM. Camera's include a 12.1-megapixel rear-facing camera and front-facing camera of unknown resolution for video calling. Internal storage will most likely be at 16GB/32GB with no option to expand it. The phone runs Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" as oppossed to the original Xperia S which ran Android 2.3 "Gingerbread".
