Pressemitteilung: LG Optimus Pad LTE wird offiziell

Wir haben ja schon im Dezember über das neue Optimus Pad LTE von LG berichtet – jetzt macht das Unternehmen den Optimus Pad-Nachfolger offiziell! Im Großen und Ganzen werden die Specs bestätigt, die letzten Monat beim Leak schon die Runde machen, exakt sieht das nun wie folgt aus: 1.5 GHz Dual Core von Qualcomm, 8.9 Zoll großes 1280 x 768 IPS-Display, zwei Cams (vorne 2 MP, hinten 8 MP), 6,800mAh-Akku und natürlich die namengebende LTE-Funktionalität. HDMI wird natürlich unterstützt und das Teil wird knapp 500 Gramm wiegen und mit 9,34 mm noch einigermaßen dünn sein.

Wenn das Teil demnächst in Korea ins Rennen geschickt wird, haben wir wie erwartet „nur“ Honeycomb 3.2 an Bord, Ice Cream Sandwich wird aber natürlich folgen, auch wenn es hier keinen Termin gibt. Den Preis verrät uns LG leider auch noch nicht, alle weiteren Fakten entnehmt ihr dem Pressetext:
