The quad-core LG X3 scores crazy on the new Quadrant, coming with 2000mAh battery to feed a 4.7" HD display

it looks like the LG X3 with Tegra 3 will be one of the monster phones for this year, as insiders have leaked its eye-popping Quadrant 2.0 scores, as well as confirmed most of the specs rumored around the device, including the equally impressive 4.7" 1280x720 LCD screen.

It will feature a hearty 2000 mAh battery, which will be desperately needed if the battery life on phones like the LG Nitro HD with a 4.5" HD display is any indication.

The rest of the specs were reconfirmed to be 8MP camera with the moderninstantaneous shutter, and 16GB of internal memory plus microSD slot for expansion. 

Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich will be running the show, hopefully not overly skinned. Have a look at that amazing 4412 score on the new Quadrant, and welcome to the new quad-core smartphone reality. In comparison, the dual-core LG Optimus LTE in the office scored 2514 yesterday when Quadrant 2.0 got released.

LG X3 revealed: quad-core Ice Cream Sandwich

Perhaps a taste of what we can expect at MWC next month, the X3 looks to be one of the early challengers to HTC in the quad-core market.

The robust processor comes courtesy of the Tegra 3 chipset by Nvidia, and while the 720p screen measures in at a quite large 4.7 inches, it supposedly manages to retain a slim 9mm waistline. LG plans to stick in a 2000mAh battery to power it all.

 

Other highlights include 16GB of internal storage, 8MP camera (plus 1.3MP front-facing), capacitive buttons, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, and an NFC transceiver. Also, the X3 should come with the latest Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, right out of the box.

Expect the X3 (if it is still called that upon release), by the end of Q2 this year.
