Looks like LG isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. The South Korean manufacturer recently put up an extremely impressive flash site for their upcoming LG U+ LTE. So, just what is this LG U+? Well, the model number for the device could be the LG-LU6200 and if you want to do some serious speculating, judging from that leaked Verizon roadmap we saw a few weeks ago, could also be the Revolution 2 dropping on October 20th.
As far as specs go, the LG U+ LTE will feature a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, support for LTE up to 75Mbps and a 4.5-inch “True HD” 720p AHIPS display of which recently won an award for outclassing Samsung’s Galaxy S II AMOLED unit. The device will also come equipped with an 8MP camera, 1.3MP front facing webcam, 1GB of RAM and a super slick profile coming in at only 10.5mm thick. As it stands, the LG U+ LTE will be announced next week on the 26th and launch exclusively in South Korea (just like the Galaxy S II) but I imagine it wont be long before we see a global release. It’s going to be an interesting holiday season for Android…

nice
Judging by the rounded corners, square screen, and the presence of a button.. this is clearly an iPhone rip off. Shame on you, LG. Can’t anyone come up with an original design for a phone? They all just copy Apple.
THE IPHONE HAS A TOUCHSCREEN! EVERY OTHER TOUCHSCREEN PHONE IS UNORIGINAL!
LG Prada had a touch screen too.
So any slate style smartphone is now an Apple rip off? You should go join Apple’s patent department.
For your records and my lulz:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Prada_%28KE850%29
Which is much the same as the design of this phone and it came out about 8 months before the original iPhone. Go troll somewhere else.
How can you not see that he is joking?
Haha you guys need to relax.
huh? he’s clearly not joking.
but You must be, right?
Hope you are being sarcastic. Apple did not invent rounded corners and buttons.
Original design like what? a circle? Maybe a star? Ohhhh how about just a weird amoeba like shape?
I hope this was sarcasm…
Excuse me. I beg to differ on this point. LG came out with a device (KE850) aka the Prada. Which preceded the Iphone by at least 6 months.
Please check the facts before assuming one is a copy cat. If anything, Apple imitated LG is the all touch design.
Look up the history before assumptions are given.
I am so tired of people saying that other phone makers copy apple. If you love apple so much, stay on their forums! we don’t need i sheep comments on our droid forums!
I think its Steve JOBS spying and causing issues on Android forums
This article is totally incorrect. Just like Samsung, LG is basically a huge group of companies. One of those companies is LG Telecom. As the name suggests they’re into the ISP/Broadband/Mobile network business. U+ is just the name of their LTE service. That ad is promotional material for their LTE service due to launch at the end of this month. These guys don’t manufacture any devices, period. That would be LG Electronics, a different company in the LG group.
