LG Planning Multiple Windows Phone 8 Smartphones
2010's Optimus 7 was last device for LG powered by Windows Phone platform.
According to a partner company, Korean smartphone manufacturer LG is planning a number of Windows Phone 8 handsets.
An executive from one of LG's local partner firms confirmed the news to the Korea Times. It comes after reports suggested that LG plans to ship 75 million handsets this year, which would represent a considerable increase from the 45 million it shipped in 2012.
It's been a few years since LG launched a smartphone housing Microsoft's mobile operating system. During 2010, the firm released its LG Optimus 7 phone, pictured on the right.
LG, which recently denied its involvement in the rumored Google Nexus 5 smartphone, is expected to reveal a 5.5-inch, quad-core device during the Mobile World Congress next month in Barcelona. It's believed to be the unannounced follow up to the Optimus, which is expected to make its debut during fall, 2013.
Well, now it probably is. The technology isn't where it needs to be, yet. While I do like the principal of the Atrix phone (snaps in the back of a lapdock), I'd like to see that on a Windows phone as well or have a similar docking solution for your desktop or other laptops. My mind is set on a technology that we don't quite have yet. That is, a mobile phone that can run (something like) Crysis 3 with a bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse, displayed on any HDMI monitor, on Ultra HD settings. That said, I can see storage becoming a problem, and I don't think the idea of the "Cloud" is quite there yet.
If only the SteamBox SHELD, Windows PC and a SmartPhone could get married.
The poor bastard got everyone laughing at him about BSOD and whether he need to add more RAM or upgrade the CPU.
Poor guy. He's the only person with a Windows Phone in the office btw....LOL.
I bought a cheap LG Quantum when the Dell Venue Pro I had got its OLED screen cracked after dropping once,in a Otterbox case but I digress. The phone does what I need and is quick ,I hope that one of the phones they come out with comes with a keyboard,I dont plan on upgrading to windows phone 8 ever without a phone that has one.
Samsung is doing great.
