LG unveils Spectrum smartphone at CES



LG announced a boatload of

HDTVs at its Consumer

Electronics Show press

conference today, but it also

showed off a new

smartphone.

Dubbed the LG Spectrum, the device

comes with a 4.5 -inch HD IPS

display, a 1.5 GHz dual-core

processor, and an 8-megapixel

camera. And although Android 4.0

(Ice Cream Sandwich) is available

now, the device will ship with

Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) , though

LG did say that it will be upgradable

to Ice Cream Sandwich.

The HD IPS display is arguably one of the most important additions. The screen comes with 329 pixels per inch,

helping it slightly trump the iPhone 4S ' 326 pixels per inch.

To make the entertainment experience a bit more appealing, LG will pre- load the ESPN SportsCenter app, which

will pump out 720p HD content from the sports network.

LG plans to launch the LTE device on Verizon's network January 19. It'll retail for $199 .99 with a two-year contract.
