Good to see (mini) HDMI becoming yet another standard in high-end smartphones for Apple to blithely ignore. Although they might surprise us ... Mini DisplayPort, perhaps? :--D

                Why LG using a similar crap menu system (touchwiz3.0) as Samsung? Stock UI is the best imo. Other than than this phone rocks!

                  Looks almost identical to the LG Optimus Chic front (which is no bad thing). Hope to see the release soon with confirmed dates, price and a review in due course.Keep up the good work GSMArena !

                          Now let's see what screen it has. Hopefully an Amoled version.
                          BTW the Quadrant benchmark is not very relevant now since it tests Open GL.1 capability not OpenGL 2.0. There are OpenGL 2 benchmarks (NenaMark or Neocore) and they should be used nowadays.

                                    jjsoviet, 30 Nov 2010Nvidia says that Tegra 3 is "almost done" bro, me... moreit will be by the time this phone comes out, tegra 2 was continually delayed due to battery consumption and stability issues being the first cortex A9 implementation and not tegra chip not phone orientated, aka gps, baseband,etc missing; fyi was first used in tablets as that's what tegra was always designed for as oposed to snapdragon (purely cell-phone soc) and omap. But tegra 3 will supposedly be better optimised for cell-phones as well, and LG after struggling with this phone optimizing drivers and such, will master and be ready for tegra 3 much sooner than u think as technology accelarates - fall 2011 might see the first tegra 3 phones and summer first tablets..
