CTIA Awards Site Teases Two Unnamed LG Phones [Sprint, T-Mobile?]
Just as with most major trade shows, CTIA will be holding an awards ceremony for the best phones/smartphones at the trade show. Three finalists have already been revealed: the HTC Thunderbolt, the Motorola Atrix 4G, and the LG Revolution.
Two more have yet to be named, though, and they’re both from LG according to CTIA’s site. Internationally, LG has introduced the Optimus 2X and Optimus 3D, but if the trend of the CTIA only choosing phones on major American carriers holds strong, then we may have just gotten confirmation of new devices for both Sprint and T-Mobile.
T-Mobile is said to be carrying the Optimus 2X as the T-Mobile G2x. It’s a rumor that came out of nowhere but didn’t completely surprise us. The Optimus 2X for T-Mobile is said to follow the trend of all of their “G” devices – it could run stock Android.
Sprint may also have a phone from LG in the works. A rumored “EVO 3D” is expected to be announced at CTIA and just because it’s a part of Sprint’s best-selling brand doesn’t mean the device will be made by HTC. (The brand belongs to Sprint, after all.) Their phone could definitely be a reworked Optimus 3D that was unveiled at Mobile World Congress last month.
Then again, these could also be Windows Phone 7 devices. Or two completely new Android devices that the world has yet to hear of. No one ever truly knows outside of LG’s halls, but we’d bet our money on these unnamed devices being their latest (known) Android offerings. (A small amount of money, anyway.) [PCMag via BGR]
