The LG Optimus G, which has been the subject of numerous leaks, has finally been launched officially by LG in South Korea. When it arrives some time in Korea next month, the LG Optimus G will have the highly anticipated quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor clocked at 1.5GHz and 4G LTE network connectivity. It will also pack other impressive hardware features which include the all-new Adreno 320 GPU, a 13-megapixel camera, 2GB of RAM, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, NFC, and a built-in 2,100 mAh battery. The LG Optimus G also carries what is being referred to as a True HD IPS display that has a native resolution of 1280x768 pixels. It is scheduled for a global release some time later this year.
