Today, South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics announced to the world a new flavor of its LG Optimus LTE smartphone, namely the Optimus LTE Tag.
The new device comes with specs similar to those included in the original, but also with the Near-Field Communication (NFC) capability and a variety of optimizations in this area.
In fact, the new handset is smaller than the Optimus LTE, which was made available last year with a large 4.5-inch touchscreen display on the front.
The new mobile phone arrives on shelves with a large 4.3-inch touchscreen display on the front, an IPS LCD screen that can deliver 650 nits of brightness and a WVGA (480 x 800 pixels) resolution.
Moreover, LG has packed the smartphone with a fast 1.2GHz dual-core application processor inside, complemented by the usual 1GB of RAM for increased performance capabilities. It runs under Gingerbread, but LG promised an upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich.
At the same time, the handset vendor included 16GB of internal memory inside this device, as well as a 1,700mAh battery for extended usage time.
There is also a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with auto-focus, LED flash and support for video recording, along with a 1.3 megapixel front camera to enable video calling.
The device has a variety of modes that can be easily enabled via different NFC labels, including an Office mode or a CAR Mode tag to immediately switch to the in-car UI. It also comes with a Tag+ (or Tag Plus) application for reading NFC tags.
According to LG, the new mobile phone was meant to arrive on shelves as a "cosmetically enhanced" version of the Optimus LTE, and even sports a new white finish.
The same as the recently launched LG Optimus Vu, the Optimus LTE Tag will arrive on shelves in South Korea in the near future. Unfortunately, LG hasn’t unveiled specific info on the phone’s availability outside the country, but might announce more on this at the MWC 2012 show in Barcelona next week.
