19.05.12
LG has unveiled the first smartphone powered by a Tegra 3 processor as it looks to get the jump on rivals such as Samsung and HTC ahead of Mobile World Congress.
The LG Optimus 4X HD incorporates an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor that LG is touting as running at 1.5GHz, suggesting it has been enhanced as the chipmaker lists a maximum frequency of 1.3GHz for the Tegra 3 .
LG said it had, "worked closely with Nvidia to achieve a 1.5GHZ clock speed".
The device has a 4.7in True HD IPS display with a 1280x720 resolution, which LG claims has unrivalled clarity and no colour or shape distortion. The chassis is 8.9mm thick and the smartphone features a prism-edged design that gives it a premium finish.
Other key specifications include 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory and an 8-megapixel camera with a Backside Illumination sensor (BSI).
A 2,150mAh battery will be used to help power the huge display and the overclocked quad-core processor and it will be interesting to see just how long the device lasts during testing.
