LG Optimus 4X HD Confirmed for Canada in October

South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics is expected to make its Optimus 4X HD smartphone available for purchase in Canada as soon as next month, on the networks of WIND Mobile and Videotron.

Powered by a fast NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, the new device comes with a wide range of features that take advantage of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform loaded on it.

It also sports a 4.7-inch True HD IPS touchscreen display, as well as SiO+ battery technology packed inside, and Quick Memo to boost the productivity of its users.
 
"The Optimus 4X HD offers incredible speed and performance without compromising battery life," said Geoff McMurdo, vice president mobile communications, LG Electronics Canada.

“Users want intuitive software and beautiful hardware and the Optimus 4X HD is another proof point that LG is a strong player in both areas.”

The smartphone lands on shelves with an NVIDIA's 4-PLUS-1 Quad-Core mobile processor, the Tegra 3, which should provide great raw power and an enhanced experience to its users.

The smartphone also comes with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for full HD video recording, complemented by a front camera to enable video chatting.

The usual set of connectivity options have been packed inside the device as well, including WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS receiver, USB port and the like, along with the whole range of sensors.

In addition to the appealing hardware inside the phone, LG also promises a great experience to its users, all based on the exclusive capabilities it has loaded on it. Some of them include:

QuickMemo - allows users to write, draw, or jot a memo with their finger directly on any captured screen for instant sharing as an attachment or URL

Media Plex - a collection of software features that take image and video playback on the smartphone to a level that until now was only possible on a PC or laptop. Some innovative features include:

- Fingertip Seek that shows a preview of any video frame simply by touching the progress bar;
- Live Zooming allowing viewers to zoom in and out by pinching during video playback;
- Video Speed Control for precise control of the playback speed of videos; Thumbnail List Play which enables users to view thumbnails of videos playing while watching another video full screen.

LG hasn’t provided specific info on the pricing of Optimus 4X HD in Canada, nor did it offer an exact release date for the new device at WIND Mobile and Videotron.
