Stop us if you have heard that one before, but we'd the chance to obtain our on the job the LG Optimus G... again. This could result in the trip lucky # 4 for Engadget, but that one might be a around the unique side becasue it is heading straight to Sprint at some stage in the not-too-distant future. This is what we understood up to today: such as the Korean versions, this specific flavor from the G -- also called the LS970 -- will have a 13MP rear camera (AT&T's is only going to sport an 8MP module), and otherwise carries exactly the same group of features like a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Professional processor, 2GB RAM, 1.3MP front-facing camera, 32GB internal storage, 2,100mAh battery and 4.7-inch 1280x768 True HD Insolvency practitioners PLUS display. Similar to it did around the Motorola Photon Q, Sprint has chosen to help keep its company-specific branding from the device (it's carrying this out therefore the phone can escape towards the network's prepaid brands with relative ease), but i was disappointed to determine the Sim is once more embedded and never accessible if you don't take the whole phone apart. Apart from these cosmetic variations there isn't much that sets it aside from the worldwide models -- something that's a pleasure to determine, rather than the conventional company practice of fine-tuning OEM designs to their personal whimsy.
The performance anticipation set through the Korean Optimus G appear to become met here, using the 1.5GHz quad-core Krait processor running the show. Regardless of the G utilizing a custom build of Frozen Treats Sandwich (which is upgraded to Jelly Bean soon, based on Sprint), i was highly pleased with how quick everything was throughout our time using the device -- it genuinely functions and feels just like its overseas counterpart. The down-side that you will find with Sprint -- as you may imagine -- is Sprint's infant LTE network clients getting this phone inside a city not blanketed through the next-gen network will discover themselves frustrated with lackluster EVDO speeds. To obtain a closer consider the Now Network's flavor from the Optimus G, go below to determine a complete gallery of images after which mind beyond the break for any video tour.
