LG Optimus 4X HD Takes Desktop Performance to the Mobile Space
Sydney, Monday 27 February, 2012 – LG Electronics (LG) has unveiled its first Quad-Core processor smartphone, LG Optimus 4X HD. Combining NVIDIA’s latest 1.5GHz Tegra 3 with True HD In-Plane Switching (IPS) display, the LG Optimus 4X HD delivers PC-like performance in the palm of one’s hand.
“LG introduced the world’s first Dual-Core smartphone one year ago and today we’re announcing the next milestone,” said Brad Reed, Senior Marketing Manager, LG Electronics Australia (Mobile Communications). “But speed in itself isn’t what makes LG Optimus 4X HD unique; it’s the benefit we’re bringing to customers with the HD multimedia experience, all in a beautiful mobile form.”
The NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor is the world’s only 4-PLUS-1™ Quad-Core mobile processor designed for high-level multimedia performance, but utilises a fifth battery-saver core to handle less demanding tasks such as active stand-by and music playback. When running at full speed, the 12-core graphics processing unit (GPU) in Tegra 3 delivers a visually rich experience and console-quality game playability.
Equipped with the True HD IPS display, the Optimus 4X HD provides an amazing viewing experience with high resolution, clarity and minimal colour or shape distortion. The Optimus 4X HD includes 16 GB internal memory and runs on the latest version of Android OS, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Besides the smooth and fast performance, the Optimus 4X HD boasts an 8-megapixel BSI (Backside Illumination) Sensor camera with LED flash and advanced multimedia features to enrich the overall experience.
And LG designers made sure that looks didn’t take a back seat to performance. The 8.9mm slim and sleek smartphone features a “prism-edged” design with enhanced materials and finish.
