LG is jumpstating another Smartphone trend once again since the release of the very first dual-core phone, LG Optimus 2X, with the latest quad-core monster called the LG Optimus 4X HD. If the previous press releases of the L-Style Identity phones have not impressed you so far, this handset running in 1.5 GHz NVidia Tegra 3 processor will surely grab those eyeballs.
It has framed itself with a 4.7-icher that sports a stunning HD display with 1280x720 IPS LCD. Moreover, this NVidia Tegra 3 is divided into four cores with an addition of a low-power drive companion core. Thus, all your 4 cores will handle the major tasks like HD Video Recording and HD Games while the companion core will handle smaller tasks like calls, emails, music playbacks, SMS, etc. This specific division of cores is essential in the battery preservation of your smartphones.
LG has remarkably been aggressive in preparation for the Mobile World Congress in Spain later this month. Quad-Core phones will certainly be a trend for this year. However, this appalling technology must be paired up with the leap in battery performance. That is the challenge for the other players who plan to cater the quad-core market.
