LG Optimus Vu goes global with a quad-core CPU

20 August, 2012

LG announced global availability of its unorthodox screen ratio sporting Optimus Vu phoneblet. The device will hit select markets in Europe, Asia, Middle East/Africa and Latin America in September.

The dual-core Qualcomm silicon of the Korean and Japanese market specific devices will be replaced by a much speedier NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core CPU.

The rest of the smartphone's specs have remained unchanged. They include a gig of RAM, 32GB of non-expandable memory, 8MP, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Pricing is yet to be revealed.
