LG's LU6200 Outed As 1.5GHz Dual-Core LTE Beast?

Have you been looking for LG to come up with some really top-tier hardware? Sure, we've heard of some impressive devices that will soon be coming our way, but what about devices with A-list specs across the board? Assuming the details play out, a newly-rumored LG Android may be just the phoneyou've been hoping for.

The LU6200 starts off with the solid foundation of a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon. The phone'sdisplay is supposed to be a 4.5-incher with an HD 720p resolution (resulting in 329ppi density), manufactured using LG's new Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching technology, offering superior battery life to alternatives like Super AMOLED Plus. Add on an eight-megapixel rear camera, a 1.3-megapixel front-facer, and a gigabyte of RAM, and you've got one powerful phone starting to come together.

For now, it looks like the LU6200 will be staying in Korea, for operation on the LTE airwaves there, but LG would be wise to bring, if not this exact phone, something else with this kind of hardware to a wider market.

Telus 4G Samsung Galaxy S II X Coming Soon

4G Samsung Galaxy S II X is a strange name but you might recognize it as the once referred to Samsung Hercules. Telus has put a "coming soon" tag on the phone which is now online over at thecarrier's website.

There's no exact release date shows on the page except for the "coming soon" text and there is no pricing revealed either. The specs on the other hand are there and they match with previous ones mentioned: 1.5Ghz dual-core CPU, 4.5-inch SuperAMOLED Plus WVGA display, WiFi with hotspot, eight-megapixel camera with full HD video recording capability, two-megapixel front facing webcam, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board.

HTC Vigor: First Press Shot

With a rumored dual-core 1.5GHz processor, LTE compatibility, and amazing 720x1280 HD display, the Gingerbread-powered HTC Vigor promises to be one of the most powerful smartphones of all time when it hits Verizon alongside the HTC Rhyme/Bliss. It's also said to offer Beats Audio technology, though the first in-the-wild shots didn't portray the Beats logo.

Vigor could launch as early as HTC's September 20th NYC event, although there are upcoming candidates for each carrier that could also be the focus (Ruby, Holiday, Kingdom). While several sources claim that the handset will go by Thunderbolt 2 at retail, we're seeing evidence that Vigor will in fact be the final branding.

We can't help but get excited at what might well be the first HD cellphone, and you probably should be too.
