LG Escape for US AT&T press photo and specs leak

The LG Escape just made its first public appearance via a tweet, which shares not only this press shot, but also some of the key specs of the device.

The LG Escape (model name P870 and codename Kun) is meant for the US carrier AT&T and will make good use of the carrier's quickly developing LTE network.

As regards the other specs, the LG Escape supposedly packs a 4.3-inch IPS LCD screen with qHD resoolution, a 1.2Ghz dual-core chipset, a duo of a 5MP back camera and a 1.3MP front camera, NFC connectivity and a 2150mAh battery. The smartphone makes use of Android Ice Cream Sandwich as its OS of choice.

So far nothing surprising. In fact, we found quite a lot of similarities to the recently announced international LG Optimus L9, which we had a chance to meet in first person at this year's IFA. You will decide for yourselves, but the resemblance is uncanny.
