Following Samsung’s Galaxy S III unveiling, competing smartphone manufacturer LG announced the Optimus LTE2. The followup to the original sports an industry first 2GB of RAM, which is mind-boggling in the smartphone realm. A True HD IPS display (720p), LTE connectivity and a 2,150mAh battery were some of the other specs also noted in the press release. It’s running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and there will be an optional wireless charging pad available as well (like the Galaxy S3). No word on the processor, but we’re thinking it’s Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 dual-core S4 chip, if not a quad-core CPU from another company. The LG Optimus LTE 2 is scheduled to release in mid-May in Korea. We may see a variant of the device in the US at some point, but no immediate details were made available.
