LG reveals Optimus LTE 2 with 2GB of RAM

Are you ready for 2012's war of the super smartphones? We already have the Sony Xperia S, the HTC One X, Samsung took the wraps off the much awaited Galaxy S III just yesterd and now LG is raising the bar on it's Optimus LTE line.

The LG Optimus LTE 2 is the first device to ship with 2GB of RAM. No news on the processor powering this monster but we expect either a quad core or high-spec dual core SoC (System on a Chip)  in this for them to stay competitive.

The screen is  expected to be a  True HD IPS” display and it will feature a whopping  2,150mAh battery with wireless charging capabilities and a 'smart camera'.

Running a skinned variant of Android 4.0 (Gingerbread), the LG Optimus LTE2 is expected to launch in Korea mid-May with international plans to follow.

2GB of RAM means a higher ceiling for running multiple apps as well as improved overall performance for intensive applications, games and quick multitasking.

LG seems to have the upper hand in creating LTE devices that can be used across most LTE networks. Their hardware and features has been on par with the rest of the competition even if LG doesn't really do a lot to promote their devices.

The Optimus LTE 2, however could be an industry turning point, a true post-PC handset that's got a big screen, powerful processor, high speed data and a big enough battery to keep it running all day. Sweet.
