"LG Optimus G is the culmination of cutting-edge technologies provided by LG's class-leading global entities," said James Fishler, SVP, marketing and go-to-market operations, LG Electronics USA. "Drawing upon expertise from the LG Mobile Communications Company, LG Display, LG Chem and LG Innotek , we have carefully designed a new superphone that encourages users to step beyond everyday boundaries and explore a limitless world of power and creativity."

It also has a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat. However, the Sprint version will sport a 13-megapixel front-facing camera as opposed to AT&T's 8 megapixels.

The Optimus G will come pre-loaded with Android 4. Ice Cream Sandwich and offers Bluetooth 4.0 and 2G/3G/4G LTE support. The "QSlide Function" on the smartphone allows two different screens to be viewed simultaneously on the display, which lets users multitask with ease.

The Optimus G also has a "DualScreen Dual Play" feature that "wirelessly displays different content on both a TV and the smartphone." Additionally, the "Screen Zooming" feature allows increased visibility by enabling a user to zoom in and out from e-mails, text messages, music player list, and photo gallery.

No information on the exact release date or pricing is currently available. However, the smartphone is expected to hit the shelves in time for the holiday season.
