Industry analysts are cagey about LG’s mobile phone
strategies in India. It has already lost considerable market share to
established smartphone majors.
With the smartphone segment consolidating even further,
it’s now apparent that both great software and great hardware should go hand in
hand. LG’s 4X HD is our proof that we not only understand our consumers’ needs
but also cater to them. The 4X HD also features LG’s new User Experience (UX),
which allows users the ability to instantly jot memos or noted from any
screen. LG’s 4X HD is a complete package which packs powerful features to
back it sleek frame,” Maheshwary added.
LG Optimus 4X HD boasts of a 1.5GHz quad core plus 1
processor, NVIDIA Tegra3 which delivers unparalleled speed. When maximum power
is needed, Tegra3 automatically activates all four cores, but when less power
is required, it defaults to the fifth battery saver core.
