LG's Head of Mobile Marketing teases 'something different and something unique': Arriving in Q3!

   LG have a fair few attractive and solid phones on the market at the moment. There's the Optimus G, the Optimus G Pro, the Spectrum 2 and the Optimus Vu to name but four of them. They also have an event lined up next month in which the internet is expecting LG to announce that the Optimus G Pro is coming to the United States.

   That however, is not the story here. Instead, LG have told Engadget that they will be releasing a new global flagship in Q3 this year! Bear in mind for a second that Optimus G Pro was only announced in February and availability at the moment is not very wide at all. It seems like a strange thing to announce to us, when you still want people to buy the current generation of devices that you would warn people that there will be a new one in four or five months time.

   Irrespective that's what LG's Won Kim, the Head of Mobile Marketing, has said to Engadget. He explained that we should expect "something different and something unique" and if it truly is then that is quite exciting! 

   Engadget were also told that the device won't be as large as the Optimus G Pro, instead it will be closer to 5" in screen size and other then that everything else was kept under wraps! What do you think? Has this put you off buying a current generation LG phone? Let us know in the comments below!

LG set to refresh their L-series: Rumoured specs land.

   LG are the one company we haven't really heard too much of since from on the mobile phone front. Last week we saw a sneak preview of the Optimus G Pro which we expect will be coming to Europe and America sometime soon! The company also teased the F-series in their earnings call and their Facebook teaser from the other day might have something to do with that!

   Today though, it's LG's L-series which is in the news. A couple of months back we heard that the South Koreans had managed to ship ten million of the original L-series and with sales like that it seems logical that they would follow it up with an updated and similarly priced offering for a second year and that's exactly what

   The entry-level LG Optimus L3 II, pictured above, has been spotted in a T-Mobile catalogue and  the new L3 will be a considerable upgrade on the one from this year. On the inside a 1GHz CPU will drive the device which you'll interact with on an improved IPS display, which is still 3.2". The camera will be improved to a 5MP unit and if the device hits the same £50 price point it will be a definite bargain!

   Secondly, we come to the LG Optimus L5 II. This will also rock a 1GHz Cortex-A9 CPU which will be twinned with a PowerVR SGX531 GPU, which is a huge update to the 800MHz processor in the current generation. In screen terms we're expecting a 4" WVGA, that's 480 x 800p resolution and Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean should run the show!

   Lastly, we come to the LG Optimus L7 II. The biggest device of the bunch will supposedly utilise a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8225 1GHz dual-core processor with an Adreno 203 GPU, 768MB of RAM, a 4.3" WVGA (480x800p) display and a much better 8MP camera. All of this will supposedly be driven by a 2,460mAh battery and Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean!

   The series will reportedly also offer dual-SIM variants of the L5 and L7, something which will please both travellers and people in developing countries who would want to pick up a cheap, but competent smartphone!

   We'll find out whether or not this rumour was right at MWC at the end of the month! It's drawing closer guys!
