LG Optimus EX and Samsung E120L for South Korea surface

South Korea is in for a treat as both LG and Samsung are planning to treat their motherland with two new high-end smartphones.

First up is LG with the SU880 Optimus Ex. It has a 1.2GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal memory (expandable), 4-inch WVGA IPS NOVA display, 5 megapixel camera, 1080p video recording, Android 2.3.4 and a 1,500mAh battery.

The Optimus Ex weighs 127g and is only 9.65mm thick. It will be sold in two colors: black/silver and white/champagne gold, on the SK Telecom network in Korea. No pricing or release date is known at the moment.

If you think that's good then you will love what Samsung has to offer. The SHV-E120L will have a massive 4.7-inch display with 1280 x 720 resolution, 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, 8 megapixel rear camera, 2 megapixel front camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC.

Now there may be some concerns about the usability of a phone with a 4.7-inch display that's even bigger than the one on the similarly specced LG LU6200 but you can't deny it's one hell of a device. This one's supposed to hit Korea in October but sadly there is no information about it's international availability.
