LG Electronics has announced their plans to introduce a line of high-end smartphones that will run NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor. *The Tegra 2 is a dual-core chip, which would provide the devices a significant speed and graphics capability. *These new phones will become part of
LG’s Optimus Series, which expects to have 10 devices out by the end of this year.
The Tegra 2 features a number of mobile firsts, including the first mobile dual-core CPU, the first mobile NVIDIA GeForce graphics processor, and the first processor capable of recording in full 1080p HD video. *Chang Ma, Vice President of LG’s Mobile Marketing Strategy Team, had the following to say.
“LG is committed to making its Optimus Series smart devices the de facto standard in speed and graphics performance. We selected NVIDIA because it is the visual computing leader and has a long history of creating amazing consumer experiences.”
LG has not announced any specifics about the devices, but our gut feeling is that at least one of them will be running Android. *We’ll be following this one closely, so stay tuned.
