LG OptimusLTE IIConfirmedwith 4.7-InchDisplay and1.5GHz Dual-Core CPU - MobilEgypt

Although LG announced the upcoming availability of the Optimus LTE2 two weeks ago, the handset vendor failed to unveil the smartphone’s full specs sheet. The world’s first smartphone top comes with 2GB of RAM inside, Optimus LTE2 is expected to arrive in South Korea sometime this week. Today, the company issued another press release, which offers more details on the smartphone’s specs, but the device is dubbed “LG Optimus LTE II.” Anyway, official word is that the Optimus LTE II boasts a hyper- vibrant 4.7-inch True HD-IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display that supports 720 x 1280 pixels resolution and 16 million colors. Moreover, it appears that for whatever reasons the smartphone is 10g heavier than the device announced two weeks ago. It is also worth mentioning that the Optimus LTE II will be shipped with the new Optimus 3.0 UI, which has just been detailed. LG has also confirmed the smartphone will be powered by a Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, complemented by an Adreno 225 graphics processing unit and 2GB of RAM.
No word on the storage amount, but it will come with microSD card slot for memory expansion up to 32GB. There’s also an impressive 8-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording. In addition, the phone’s 2,150 mAh Li- Ion battery has been rated by LG for up to 255 hours of standby time or up to 10 hours of talk time. Obviously, continuous usage time will be much lower. Obviously, the smartphone’s main selling points will be LTE support and Google’s latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. For the time being, LG confirmed the Optimus LTE II would be launched in South Korea through five carriers. We’re not sure whether this handset will be available outside the country as well.

Best BuyClaims HTCEVO 4G LTEPre-OrdersShipBeginningMay 23 - MobilEgypt

Since HTC and Sprint announced the launch of the EVO 4G LTE has been delayed indefinitely, there's been a lot rumors and speculations on what's going to happen with those who already pre-ordered their devices. The bad news is that customers won't be able to cancel their HTC EVO 4G LTE pre-orders until they refuse the delivery or call Sprint for a return authorization kit. Although the smartphone was slated for a May 18 release at Sprint, all HTC EVO 4G LTE shipments are now stuck at US Customs due to an exclusion order issued by ITC against this smartphone. Moreover, ITC issued the same exclusion order for HTC One X as well, so it's only a matter of time until US stocks are depleted. Even though HTC officially stated it is working closely with US Customs to secure approval of its shipments, there's no telling how much time is gonna take the Taiwanese company to settle these issues. However, there are some good news also. The folks over at AndroidCentral have been tipped on the possibility of HTC EVO 4G LTE being released by Best Buy on May 23. Apparently the retailer is informing its customers who pre- ordered the HTC EVO 4G LTE via email, that the smartphone's release date has been changed to May 23. This is only a 5 days delay for the launch of the HTC EVO 4G LTE , which is decent enough for such a highly hyped handset. For the time being, we have no information that would indicate Best Buy will be able to fulfill all HTC EVO 4G LTE pre-orders, but there's a slight chance that other retailers might receive their stock around the same time frame. Check out the email sent by Best Buy to its customers and stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
