LG Optimus Pad LTE
La connessione LTE si avvia a diventare una specie di standard per quanto riguarda lo scambio dati ad alta velocità con la rete web; anche in Italia, anche se con molto ritardo, stanno cominciando le prime prove e si spera che per la fine dell’anno si possa disporre di una buona copertura. Visto il rapido sviluppo nel resto del mondo, le case produttrici stanno presentando molti dispositivi dotati di tale modulo radio ed anche LG non è da meno. La casa coreana ha annunciato il tablet Optimus Pad LTE il quale, a differenza del predecessore, ha abbandonato la tecnologia 3D (segnale importante di come, forse, ci sia ancora da lavorare molto in questo ambito) per privilegiare l’aspetto HD. Il nuovo Optimus Pad, infatti, ha un display IPS da 8,9 pollici 1280×720 ed una fotocamera sola, da 8 Mpx. La dotazione è quella tipica dei tablet di questa fascia: uscita HDMI, processore dual-core da 1,5 GHz, DLNA, Honeycomb 3.2 (???), batteria da 6800 mAh e slot per MicroSD. Dopo il break il comunicato ufficiale LG (in inglese).

SEOUL, Jan. 18, 2012 – LG Electronics (LG) today unveiled its first LTE-capable tablet, the Optimus Pad LTE. Initially launching in Korea, LG has equipped the tablet with both LTE technology and True HD IPS display, the two features that have helped LG differentiate its latest smartphone, Optimus LTE, from the competition.
“With tablets generating five times more traffic than the average smartphone, it’s not a huge jump to assume that tablet users need and want faster connectivity,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company. “The combination of LG’s LTE technology with the tablet form factor is a clear advantage for consumers who use a tablet as their primary consumption device when on the move.”
Boasting the best-in-class in the tablets, LG Optimus Pad LTE provides the ultimate user environment to enjoy HD multimedia with a 1280 x 720 True HD IPS display and 8 megapixel camera for shooting high definition video.

Moreover, Web Duet allows for e-mailing, messaging and SNS sharing with search functions, and On-Screen Phone (OSP) ensures compatibility with LG smartphones.
