LG Optimus TrueHD LTE
There has been a lot of interest in LTE 4G devices in the US in recent months, but as LTE networks are still very rare in Europe then that interest has not transferred across the pond. So, the LG Optimus TrueHD LTE is a pretty rare device, an LTE capable smartphone heading to Europe.. well, Germany at least. It supports HSPA+ as well as LTE, and this gives much wider coverage on top of the fledgling 4G networks.
As you can probably guess, the LG Optimus TrueHD LTE comes with an HD display, in this case a 4.5" 720 x 1280 pixel panel. On the back is an 8 megapixel camera with a 1.3 megapixel video calling camera on the front. Inside is a 1.5GHz dual-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM, 2GB of available internal flash memory plus a 16GB microSD card.
There's a large 1830 mAh battery inside the TrueHD, and the handset measures 134 x 68 x 10.5mm and weighs 135 grams. Other than a slightly interesting textured back, the TrueHD is a pretty dull slabby phone available only in black.. this is not a device that will turn heads in terms of physical design, although we suspect that the large IPS display might be very impressive to look at.
Disappointingly, the TrueHD LTE only runs Android 2.3, and there's really no excuse for that now that Android 4.0 has been around for a while, although we assume that there's some sort of upgrade path planned. Still, it will do everything that every other Android phone does, and it will do it very quickly.
We don't know when the TrueHD LTE will hit the shops or how much it will cost, although our best guess is that it will retail for slightly under €400 whenever it comes to market.
