LG today provided more details about the Optimus LTE II in its home market of Korea. The Optimus LTE II runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and will ship with LG's new Optimus UI 3.0. It includes a 4.7-inch display with 1280 x 720 pixels and in-plane switching. It will ship with a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 2GB of RAM. The 8-megapixel camera, which has an LED flash, can be controlled with the user's voice, has a 5-shot burst mode, and can output 5.1 audio via the MHL interface. The Optimus LTE II has a 1.3-megapixel user-facing camera for video chats. Other features include Bluetooth 4.0 LE, NFC, wireless charging, and DLNA. The device will include 16GB of on-board storage and can support up to an additional 32GB via microSD. The device will first become available in Korea, but later rolled out to other countries where LTE networks are available, including the U.S., Canada, Japan, and parts of Europe. The LG Optimus LTE II is expected to land in the U.S. this summer, though no U.S. carriers have announced plans to carry it.
