LG Optimus Tag LTE makes its way to Korea

February 20, 2012 Udit Malhotra Leave a comment

LG seems to be on a throttle revealing devices day on day just a week before MWC 2012, yesterday we had news on the Optimus Vu which is now further followed by the Optimus Tag LTE smartphone that makes its launch in Korea ending February this year. The word “Tag” attached to the device exhibits NFC capable functionality implementing LG’s Tag+ stickers that allow switching profiles, enabling GPS, Bluetooth etc. For example: If you enter your workplace you may swipe your phone to enable silent profile, similarly to turn on navigation or GPS you may use the Tag+ sticker in your car to switch on the features enabled on to it. This seems to bring some good changes as we generally tend to forget stuff while we are on the run, with this new implementation it could be a lot easier to increase productivity and simplicity as these are user programmable and can be redone as many times as per your needs and moods. Sony has also brought a similar feature on to its selected Xperia handhelds that is also known as “Xperia Smart Tags” allowing NFC capable communication. The Optimus Tag LTE has a 4.3-inch IPS display, a 1.2GHz dual core processor, and the good old Android Gingerbread 2.3 to top it up.

LG Optimus Tag LTE Quick Specs:

4.3-inch 650 nit IPS WVGA display (800×480 pixels)
1.2 GHz Qualcomm Dual Core Processor
Android Gingerbread 2.3 (upgradable to Android ICS 4.0)
5MP Auto-focus camera with LED Flash
1.3MP front camera
16GB internal storage
Sharing capabilities via NFC (LG Tag+), DLNA, MHL (Mobile High Definition Link)
1700 mAh battery
Dimensions/Weight: 126.5 x 67.9 x 9.53mm / 141.7gms

The Optimus Tag LTE would available across Korea late February at a price tag of 800,000 Korean Won i.e. US$ 710. Information on the worldwide release of the smartphone is yet to be out. We would keep you posted for more news.

HTC, in addition to its previous list of smartphones upgradable to Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 have made some new additions to its portfolio and we expect even more to come in future as confirmed from HTC USA Facebook Page. The HTC Rhyme, HTC Thunderbolt, and HTC Droid 2 Incredible get added to the update list for Verizon Wireless users alongside previously announced HTC Rezound.

Canadian users with Bell and Rogers have HTC Raider to receive Android ICS 4.0.We expect HTC to share sweeter buzz on ICS, this one is becoming really bigger. 🙂
