LG X3 quad-core

LG joins the latest trend and announced plans to introduce a quad-core CPU powered smartphone – the LG X3.

The LG X3 may well become the first challenger to recently announced quad-core CPU powered HTC Edge, read more in our Mobile Gambling on HTC Phone with Quad-core CPU to Start Early article.

The all-mighty CPU inside the LG X3 will be placed on NVIDIA Tegra 3 chipset. The LG X3 smartphone is also rumored to treat fans of mobile casinos to a 4.7 inch, 720p screen and a super slim 9mm body.

Other features will include 16GB of internal memory, an 8MP back snapper and 1.3MP front camera, special capacitive buttons, Bluetooth 4.0m Wi-Fi and an NFC capability. The 2000mAh battery is expected to provide enough juice for mobile casino games to last longer.

The whole package is topped by the latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. Sources close to the manufacturer speculate on the end-of-Q2 release, but that, along with the X3 name, could very easily change.

The MWC is upon us and fans of Android casinos are eager to find out what other manufacturers have up their sleeves. We expect more quad-core CPU powered devices to see the light of day during the Congress.
