LG Fantasy / Miracle E740 with Windows Phone Mango appears in new photos
The LG Fantasy was first spotted back in December, and it’s supposed to be LG’s second Windows Phone Mango device, after the E906 Jil Sander. While we don’t know when LG will officially announce the handset, new images of it have appeared on the web, alongside new details. The model number of the Fantasy is [...]
Telus Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE and LG Optimus LTE outright prices unveiled
The LG Optimus LTE and Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE will be among Telus’ first LTE devices, and should be released tomorrow, February 10. Although one is a tablet and the other one is a smartphone, both will have about the same price when bought outright: $649.99 for the Galaxy Tab 8.9, and $629.99 for [...]
5 inch LG Optimus Vu to take on Samsung Galaxy Note
It looks like LG wants a piece of the success Samsung is having with its 5.3 inch Galaxy Note, as the company is getting ready to introduce a 5-inch Android smartphone, too. Called LG Optimus Vu (no real connection with the LG Vu and Vu Plus released by AT&T in the past), the new handset [...]
Prada Phone by LG 3.0 now available in the UK for £424.98
The strangely named Prada Phone by LG 3.0 (common sense says it should probably have been Prada Phone 3.0 by LG, if not just LG Prada 3.0 – then again, maybe there’s something called LG 3.0 out there somewhere) is now available in the UK, SIM-free and unlocked. That’s just on schedule, since we heard [...]
LG Optimus LTE confirmed by Telus
Like we told you a couple of days ago, Telus is getting ready to launch the LG Optimus LTE in Canada – several months after Bell released the smartphone there. Now the Canadian carrier has seemingly confirmed that it’s going to introduce the Optimus LTE, saying this is “coming soon.” Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly [...]
Canada: LG Optimus LTE on its way to Telus too
The LG Optimus LTE was launched by Bell in Canada back in November, alongside its slowly-expanding LTE network. Bell’s version surely contributed towards LG’s record 1 million sales of the device. And now it looks like the Optimus LTE is headed to another Canadian carrier. We’ve already heard that Telus would launch the Samsung Galaxy [...]
LG P700 and P880 get UPnP certified, might be running Android 4.0, could launch soon
A couple of days ago we saw two mysterious Samsung tablets and a smartphone get Wi-Fi certified. And again today we first hear about a couple of devices, the source being the UPnP Forum this time. And the company making them is LG. Both the LG P700 and the P880 are smartphones, that much is [...]
LG A290 with triple-SIM support arrives in Russia in late February for about €75
Dual-SIM phones have been all the rage in many emerging markets for years now. And big phone makers were very late to this game, which at first consisted primarily from unknown Chinese vendors. But time has passed and some of the big names in mobile are slowly warming up to the idea of dual-SIM offerings. [...]
Rogers LG Optimus 3D Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread update will be out tomorrow
The long awaited Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for Rogers’ LG Optimus 3D is finally due to arrive tomorrow. It will become available to download on LG’s Canadian support site (so we’re assuming it won’t come over-the-air directly to your phone, rather requiring a computer to perform the installation). New customers who’ll buy an Optimus 3D [...]
LG E740 gets Bluetooth cert, may be the Fantasy with Windows Phone on board
LG hasn’t so far released a sequel to the Optimus 7, its first Windows Phone device which it launched in 2010. While that’s still a capable offering, especially in the single-core WP world, HTC and Samsung did come up with second-generation WP devices, so LG should probably follow suit. Last month, we saw the first [...]
T-Mobile’s HTC Amaze 4G, Sensation 4G, LG DoublePlay, myTouch, and myTouch Q approaching End-of-Life
T-Mobile is getting ready to make way for some new smartphones coming in the future, it seems. That’s because thanks to the latest leaked info, the magenta carrier has placed a number of Android smartphones on the road to oblivion (also known as End-of-Life). The phones that are nearing EOL status are the HTC Amaze [...]
New LG Optimus L3 E400 with Android Gingerbread coming soon
An unannounced and previously unseen LG Optimus Android smartphone has appeared in Sweden recently, where a retailer is taking pre-orders for it. The smartphone is the LG Optimus L3 E400, which comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board, and a design that will certainly not go unnoticed. The L3 isn’t a high-end device, and not [...]
LG’s upcoming Optimus 3D sequel, the CX2, could be sold as the 3D Max
The LG CX2 got leaked a few days ago as the successor to the first 3D-enabled smartphone, the LG Optimus 3D. Yet CX2 is obviously just a codename (or, worst case scenario, will be used as the model number when it launches). So then one has to wonder what this device will end up being [...]
LG Optimus Pad now free at Rogers (with contract)
Following a previous (but not as steep) price drop in June of last year, the LG Optimus Pad is now free if you sign a new contract with Rogers. The nice thing is that this isn’t limited to three-year contracts (as great deals usually are in Canada) – you can also get the 3D tablet [...]
LG Optimus Sol E730 with Ultra AMOLED screen and Android Gingerbread launched in India
Not long after introducing the Optimus Hub and Optimus Net Dual Sim, LG has now launched yet another Optimus smartphone in India: the Optimus Sol E730. Officially announced last summer, the Optimus Sol E730 is a mid-range handset that runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It features a 3.8 inch WVGA Ultra AMOLED display, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, [...]
Verizon LG Spectrum with 4G LTE already just $79.99 at Amazon, six days after its release
Six days ago. That’s when Verizon released its newest 4G LTE smartphone, the Android-powered LG Spectrum. This is the definition of high-end right now, yet Big Red only asks for $199.99 in return for shipping it to you (you need to sign a two-year contract though). That in itself was unexpectedly good pricing, especially coming [...]
LG has sold 1 million Optimus LTE smartphones so far
LG has announced that it has managed to sell 1 million Optimus LTE smartphones so far. The company is clearly happy about this, otherwise it wouldn’t have put out a press release saying so. And the Optimus LTE may well be one of the best selling LTE smartphones so far (it’s hard to tell without [...]
LG Optimus Black Android 2.3 Gingerbread update finally on its way in Europe and India
The update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread for the LG Optimus Black was initially supposed to arrive in November 2011. Yet here we are in January 2012 and only now has it begun rolling out. Perhaps this is good news anyway, since Optimus Black owners are at least seeing an update. Or about to. The Optimus [...]
LG CX2 Optimus 3D 2 leaked, may not be launched with Android ICS
Not long after we’ve seen the quad-core LG X3, it’s now time to take a look at another unannounced LG smartphone. Reportedly, the device seen below is the successor to the LG Optimus 3D P920 (announced in January 2011) – we could call it Optimus 3D 2. Currently codenamed LG CX2, the new handset is [...]
LG Optimus Net Dual Sim (P698) launched in India
Officially announced by LG at the beginning of December, the Optimus Net Dual Sim P698 is now available in India. Both Flipkart and LetsBuy are offering the new smartphone to Indian customers, for 10,990 INR, and 10,499 INR, respectively (about $210 – $220). Running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the Optimus Net Dual is one of the [...]
