In the middle of last month, we passed along the word that
LG was going to remove the Optimus name from its high end models and use it for its low to mid-range devices. That has been made official as word from Seoul reached around the world. Starting with the
LG G2, future models in the series will use the letter 'G' to denote that it is a high-end LG model.
LG has already announced, in tandem with Qualcomm, the
the latter's Snapdragon 800 will be powering the Korean manufacturer's 'G' series of smartphones. So that means that Qualcomm's top of the line silicon will be under the hood of the LG G2. Additionally, the device will support LTE-A which means a theoretical speed as high as
150Mbps.
"Our vision is to make LG’s newest G devices synonymous with excellence, raising the bar even further for the ultimate in user experience. The new G2 will build upon the excellent reputation established by previous G Series products."-Dr. Jong-seok Park, president, CEO, LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company
LG also announced that the
LG Optimus Vu line, known for its 4:3 aspect ratio, will be simply called Vu. In the U.S., you would know the device as the
LG Intuition, which actually got to play a starring role on
Celebrity Apprentice this year.
LG's next top shelf model will be the LG G2 as expected
