LG to take the wraps off of its beast on September 19th?
Remember the scene in King Kong when the big Gorilla is unveiled to the world amid the constant popping of flashbulbs? Ok, it isn't really the same thing, but imagine if you would the same excitement and awe on September 19th. That's when LG introduces its beast, the LG Optimus G. The event, produced by both LG and Qualcomm, shows off the phone that LG developed using vertical integration. In other words, when it came to innovations for the handset, the Korean manufacturer ate its own home cooking. And toss in that quad-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ 8064, and you have a phone that not only has a quad-core processor, but also LTE connectivity. And when you need your graphics crunched, the Adreno 320 will be happy to oblige. Some regions of the world will see a 13MP camera on back, while the rest will have to settle for 8MP.

Will LG and Qualcomm unveil the LG Optimus G on September 19th?

Will LG and Qualcomm unveil the LG Optimus G on September 19th?

LG wanted a smartphone that could stand up to the Samsung Galaxy S III, and some of the specs show that LG has succeeded, at least on paper. The LG Optimus G has 2GB of RAM, something seen on the stateside version of the Samsung Galaxy S III. And don't forget that the U.S. Samsung Galaxy S III models (outside of the T-Mobile model) have LTE connectivity but no quad-core processor. My oh my, has LG come a long way since its first U.S. sold smartphone, the LG INCITE.

Verizon customers could be getting excited as a version of the phone named the LG Optimus Blaze is allegedly heading to Big Red. On the 19th, we should find out more information on launch dates, price, specs and more. If the display really does make it look like the images on the screen are floating under your finger, LG could have the beginning of the franchise model that they so desperately need to compete with those top-shelf models that get updated every year like the Apple iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy S line.

2. No_Nonsense posted on 14 Sep 2012, 01:26 35 1

Yes, it is. However this phone will be better than the iPhone 5.

Oh you mean tired ole iphone?? And they say they inovate hahahaha!!!!! only those blind isheep buy the iphones same old design and technology year after year. They won't sell any on Verizon cause the morons didn't put an antenna on the phone that lets you do voice and data simultaneously!!!! haha losers :)
But then again why would anyone buy the iphone..the galaxy s3 blows it away in all phases!

11. CX3NT3_713 posted on 14 Sep 2012, 03:27 7 2

HT who? ,, come on LG , bring that beast too att

23. CanYouSeeTheLight posted on 14 Sep 2012, 07:21 1

I thought like that about the Optimus 2X, and i bought it, must i say LG sucks at updating their devices. My Optimus 2X still hasn't got ICS and it was one of LG's flagship devices last year.

30. jamrockjones posted on 14 Sep 2012, 12:44 2

Carriers are a big part of why phones aren't updated. ICS would probably be on the Spectrum by now if it weren't for Big Red, the Nitro on AT&T is practically the same phone and it's had it for a couple of months now. In fact every Optimus LTE has it but the Spectrum.

33. papss posted on 14 Sep 2012, 17:22

Yep the nitro got it pretty quick.. And I actually like the UI on the ics update.

34. u-suck-more posted on 14 Sep 2012, 22:26

6. whencatsruletheworld posted on 14 Sep 2012, 01:58 14 2

7. The_Innovation posted on 14 Sep 2012, 02:00 4 5

So the iPhone 5 was announced.

16. Non_Sequitur posted on 14 Sep 2012, 04:43 6 1

What's an iPhone?

25. Mohamed_Abdulkareem posted on 14 Sep 2012, 07:43 3

Its a phone costs more than high end laptop. specially designed for people who don't know how to waste their money.

29. The_Innovation posted on 14 Sep 2012, 11:00

Beats me? Hope everyone caught my sarcasm.

8. Katrina posted on 14 Sep 2012, 02:06 5

so sept 18th Moto announces the 2GHz phone, then Sept 19th LG announces this beast, then 1-3 months Nexus phones are announcing.

36. desijatt posted on 16 Sep 2012, 03:57 1

Oppo's 5inch 1080p......

37. Non_Sequitur posted on 16 Sep 2012, 06:32

I would've put this, but sadly, most of the awesome stuff that Oppo makes never comes to US market.

32. The_Innovation posted on 14 Sep 2012, 15:51

Nexus a month later? Double You Tea Eff man? You sure Nexus is being announced that late?

10. Ragnarockd posted on 14 Sep 2012, 02:26

iphone is way better

19. Waffleny posted on 14 Sep 2012, 05:04 2

I can't wait to put this on a nice little unlimited data plan for Sprint. Quad core, with that screen? You'd be disappointed in buying anything else of the same price.

22. mxion posted on 14 Sep 2012, 07:15 1

you guyz in here seem to be so rich....good for you

24. Mohamed_Abdulkareem posted on 14 Sep 2012, 07:39 2

From the above comments, PhoneArena must review its biased behavior in favor of apple. last 2 days I thought I was logging to iphone forum not phonearena :(.

26. jibraihimi posted on 14 Sep 2012, 09:01 1

Yes LG bring it on, Team iPhone is dying to see what innovation really means................ :)

27. cristhiansaid posted on 14 Sep 2012, 09:16 1

is that is the design of LG, I dont like :/

31. thunder18 posted on 14 Sep 2012, 12:59 2

Does anyone else think there's a slight possibility the "G" in the Optimus G moniker might indicate the phone will be a bone stock Google device. Kind of an LG version of the Galaxy series? Probably just wishful thinking on my part, but I'm allowed to dream right?

35. u-suck-more posted on 14 Sep 2012, 22:28

lol they alr said it runs the Optimus UI 3.0
