T-Mobile is preparing for a new bunch of Android smartphones and tablets that they will be exhibiting at next month’s Mobile World Congress and the CTIA. This means is that they will be clearing out their shelves to make room for the new models. And yes, they’re letting go of 6 Android devices which TmoNews has gathered to be: LG Doubleplay LG myTouch LG myTouch Q HTC Amaze 4G HTC myTouch 4G Slide HTC Sensation 4G There hasn’t been an exact shelf life for these models. We heard that it will vary depending on each device. But it is possible …
Results for Q4 2011 Smartphone Sales in the US are Here
by Christine T on Jan 20, 2012 0 Comments">0
Despite the fact that the US smartphone market is thickly populated by Android, Apple’s own iOS platform was able to regain some of its losses in the recently concluded quarter. Based on data collected by statistical firm Nielsen, the 44.5% of consumers who bought a smartphone between October and December chose an iPhone. Prior to the iPhone 4S launch in October, iPhone only had a ranking of 25.1%. Alarmingly, 57% purchased the iPhone 4S when it first came out in the market. As of this writing, Android still holds the commanding lead over iOS, standing at 46.3% US smartphone users. …

‘Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.’ This is probably what Microsoft is doing nowadays. Instead of making enemies in the smartphone market, this Redmond, Wash-based software giant has recently signed a patent agreement with LG for the use of both Google’s highly popular OS platforms, Chrome and Android. ‘We are pleased to have built upon our longstanding relationship with LG to reach a mutually beneficial agreement,” Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of the Intellectual Property Group, Horacio Gutierrez, said. The specific details of the agreement have not yet been disclosed by Microsoft. However, based on …

![CES 2012: LG Spectrum Hands-on [VIDEO]](http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lg-spectrum-hands-on.jpg)
Yesterday at CES 2012 I had the chance to take a look at the LG Spectrum for Verizon Wireless. Let me tell you this handset is set for success from a spec list stand point, the LG Spectrum is coming packed with a 4.5 measured screen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 making the display look absolutely beautiful, 4G LTE connectivity, 8MP camera with LED flash capable of 1080p video recording, a 1.3 MP camera on the front, running 2.3.5 Gingerbread behind LG’s custom UI, all of this powered by a massively fast 1.5 GHZ Snapdragon processor! Overall the design …
LG Marquee coming to Boost Mobile on January 23rd for $280
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 12, 2012 1 Comments">1
It’s hard to imagine a Pay-as-you-Go carrier like Boost Mobile getting a nice higher end phone like the LG Marquee. Yes I know a lot people think badly on LG, but look at how beautiful that device is. Anyways, Boost Mobile will be selling it for $280 starting January 23rd. And yes it is the same LG Marquee that Sprint currently sells for $0.00 on a new contract or upgrade, I’m almost certain they will stop selling it very soon. By the way Sprint owns Boost Mobile, so a lot of Sprint’s older phones usually head to Boost Mobile after …

Yet another Android phone launching on Verizon, no surprise there right? Well let’s take a quick look at the new offering by LG and Verizon. The LG Spectrum is of course running Android – pretty sure its Gingberbread no confirmation on that yet – has a 1.3MP front-facing camera with a 8MP camera on the back. The Spectrum runs on a 1.5GHz Dual-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor and a 16GB SD Card pre-installed. Also features a 4.5″ True HD Display with Corning Gorilla Glass – which will be shown off at CES next week – and it has 329PPI (pixels …
Samsung Galaxy Nexus vs LG Nitro HD
by Paul Nuñal on Jan 06, 2012 1 Comments">1
LG continues to stay afloat in a sea riddled with tremendous competition from other mobile manufacturers such as Samsung and HTC. With its new flagship phone, the Nitro HD, LG is certainly keeping pace with the rest. First introduced way back in August, the device was reported to feature the award-winning AH-IPS screen with HD capability. The Nitro HD was marketed to be the best in its own category, with beefed-up specifications that taunt even Samsung’s Super AMOLED Plus display powering many of its phones. The Galaxy Nexus, on the other hand, ushered in a new era in the competition, …
LG Phones Will Not Get Android 4.0 Until April 2012. They Still Don’t Get It
by Lucian Armasu on Dec 27, 2011 1 Comments">1
I’ve been criticizing LG for not going full force on updating their phones to the latest versions of Android. It seems the criticism was well placed because LG still doesn’t look like they’ve learned their lesson. LG needs to realize they are not even a top 3 player in people’s minds, which means that if they ever want to be in that place they will have to work even harder than the top 3 players to get there. It’s the only way if they want to catch-up. But instead of doing that, they are taking their time, probably because they …
Android Dominance Still on the Rise – Hits 46% of Market
by Matthew Sabatini on Dec 11, 2011 1 Comments">1
With WebOS announcing its own retirement and BlackBerry on its deathbed, ComScore’s most recent numbers should not come as much of a shock. More specifically, in ComScores July to October 2011 Smart Phone Market Share numbers, WebOS has been completely wiped from the competition. In addition, RIM continues its head first dive from 1st place down 21.7 to 17.2 percent. If you don’t count Microsofts mobile OS, which you shouldn’t, then the market is divided between the two super powers, Android and iOS. Together, they hold 74.4% of the total market. Despite the fact that Apple is still gaining ground, …
Are Sony and LG Ready to Up Their Game in 2012?
by Lucian Armasu on Nov 28, 2011 0 Comments">0
Sony is promising to update their whole Xperia line-up to Android 4.0 next year, and also LG says they will update at least 4 of the Optimus phones to ICS: LG Optimus 2X, 3D, Black and LTE. Out of the 4 the LG Optimus Black is the only single core one, so this gives us confirmation that Android 4.0 will work on single core phones, too, in case you were worried – with the whole Nexus One not getting it thing. Of course, I believe Nexus One is not getting it mainly because of internal storage constraints than anything, and …
December 1st is LG’s Exclusive Event – Is it the Nitro HD?
by Matthew Sabatini on Nov 26, 2011 0 Comments">0
LG has scheduled an “exclusive event” for December 1st in New York city. Much to everyone’s surprise, they did not release any information on the topic of this event. However, our best guess is that we will be seeing an announcement for the Nitro HD (P930). If this is true, December 1st will mark the day that LG releases their first smart phone with an HD display on Western shores. Back in May, Unwired View caught hold of an XML document that led us to believe we would be seeing LG release the Nitro HD. The device would feature Android …
LG Optimus LTE Coming to AT&T as LG Nitro HD
by Rann May Smith on Nov 15, 2011 5 Comments">5
Bell Canada recently launched LG’s 720p HD smartphone, the LG Optimus LTE, said to one of the chief competitors of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The praises it received on the first day of launch brought intrigue and high hopes that the LG contender would be brought stateside, and since both AT&T and Bell Canada share the same frequency, it was very possible. Much to our surprise, Pocketnow confirmed that indeed the LG Optimus LTE will be launched in the U.Ss in the coming weeks. A leaked press shot of the LG phone confirms that indeed the Optimus LTE will be …
LG to Announce a Google TV Device at CES. Is Samsung Next?
by Lucian Armasu on Nov 14, 2011 0 Comments">0
Yes, Logitech is giving up on Google TV. But Logitech is only an accessories company anyway, and a company that isn’t that big in the TV market. LG on the other hand, is the 2nd biggest TV manufacturer, and them joining the Google TV ecosystem could be a huge deal for Google TV and it could jumpstart its market. Rumors say that LG will announce a new device that’s running Google TV at CES in January. Will this be a TV set or a set top box? My bet is on a TV, although I wouldn’t rule out a set …

Bell Canada has officially confirmed that the LG Optimus LTE will be coming in late November with a price of about CA$629.95. Previous reports have announced the LG Optimus LTE going to Bell with no official confirmation from either LG or Bell. But, this time, Bell has put up the landing page for the LTE phone, making it undeniable that the device is surely coming to Bell’s line-up of Android devices for November. Bell has not issued any official announcement about the estimated price, but it does mention the price in the contest rules for the promotional campaign that Bell …

by Conan Hughes on Nov 06, 2011 0 Comments">0
Although wild sightings of the phone have been reported since July, the new LG Prada K2 was never confirmed to be real, until now. Filings for the device at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have been discovered recently, and they confirm, among other things, that the upcoming LG Prada K2 has Near Field Communication (NFC). The third iteration of the LG Prada series, the K2, will come with GSM/EDGE 850 and 1900, WCDMA 1900, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
