LG to launch three Android smartphones this year
LG told media at this week's CommunicAsia tradeshow that it plans to introduce three Android smartphones in 2009, and has more models lined for next year.
This was made known to the press at the launch of the GM730, Viewty Smart and Crystal handsets yesterday. One of the questions we asked the Korean company was whether it intends to put the 3D S-Class user interface into its Android smartphones.
The official response that came back was that the 3D S-Class UI is meant for high-end devices, and that at this point in time, the company cannot confirm whether its Android offerings will be high-end smartphones. There's a chance we may see a low-end model that will be priced competitively. LG also added that its first Android devices may be available between late Q3 and early Q4. But as we all know, shipment dates tend to slip. So we'll be keeping a lookout for that.
