LG’s New X3 Phone Sounds Powerful

We generally pass on random phone rumours, but PocketNow seems to have scooped something that sounds awfully tasty. The LG X3 (codename) will supposedly have a Tegra 3 quad-core processor, a 4.7-inch 720p screen, an 8MP camera and NFC. Um, yum?

It will supposedly launch in the first half of this year with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) on board. It’s also said to have a serious 2000mAh battery under the hood and 3G/4G radios will vary by region. It’s possible that we’ll see this thing unveiled at MWC this year. Or maybe it will dissolve into thin air. I think that’s less likely, though, because 2012 is looking like it’ll be the year of the quad. [PocketNow via Phandroid]
