LG Optimus G will be offered in two variations: one with 13MP camera, and one with 8MP shooter

The Korean version of the Optimus G comes with a 13MP bulging out camera.

The LG Optimus G is coming to Korea with monster hardware - a new thinner 4.7-inch screen, quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chip and a very sleek body with glass back.

LG also included a whopping 13-megapixel camera, that’s slightly bulging out, in the Korean version of the Optimus G that will launch first, but interestingly, other markets might get the phone with an 8-megapixel camera.

LG said it will offer the phone equipped with either a 13-megapixel slightly bulging out camera or an 8-megapixel camera flush with the back surface.

In the United States, it will be carriers deciding which version of the LG Optimus G they’d be getting.

So while it seems that LG itself hasn’t made up its mind about which Optimus G will be offered where, the company said that in all likelihood customers would be able to get both versions unlocked in most markets.

Of course, the 8-megapixel Optimus G will be somewhat cheaper, so if we had to guess regional carriers or more affordable operators like T-Mobile might get that version of the phone.
