Such is the pace in smartphone development these days that a device is barely hitting the market that its successors are already in the works. Such is the case with LG’s Optimus G flagship [product information]. The Korean manufacturer is already working on its follow-up, possibly to be known eventually as the Optimus G2.
According to the Korean site MK News, the LG Optimus G2 will be powered by a 2.0GHz quad-core MSM8974 Snapdragon S4 Prime processor and Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. It will sport a 5-inch Full HD (1920×1080) LCD display (with 440 PPI), LTE connectivity, and a camera with backlight prevention technology.
The LG Optimus G2 could be out within the first half of 2013, perhaps as early as May. Perhaps LG will announce it at MWC 2013 in Barcelona?
It’s clear that the 5-inch display flagship device battleground will be crowded by early to mid-2013.
