Android Superphone Shootout

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Smartphones today have the specs and power that desktops had only a few years ago. On the high end of the spectrum, we have the superphones which by their very definition should have dual core processors, large screens and the best functionality and are the best that money can buy.

We pit four of the most anticipated devices against each other and test them for speed, performance, design and overall capabilities. All of these are Android devices starting with the Galaxy Nexus which is Google’s chosen smartphone and the first to carry the new Ice Cream Sandwich OS.

Next we have Motorola’s revived Droid RAZR which is clad in Kevlar and incredibly sharp. The HTC Raider 4G LTE is dark, mysterious and promises blazingly fast access on next generation LTE ( Long Term Evolution) speeds of up to 75Mbps. Last but not the least is the most powerful smartphone in the market today, the LG Optimus LTE, another ultra-quick device that has more horsepower under its svelte enclosure than most of the tablets in the market today.

Review: LG Optimus LTE Android smartphone

Text and photos by Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

What LG has done by releasing the LG Optimus is set the Android smartphone bar really high. In some cases, the LG Optimus, is higher in specs and features  than Samsung's 'chosen' Galaxy Nexus which is the flagship Android device of the season sporting the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Visually unassuming, the LG Optimus is surprisingly thin and light for a smartphone of this pedigree. It brings a dual-core 1.5Ghz processor, 1GB of RAM and an HD display which is stunning to behold. The Optimus LG also features an 8 Megapixel camera as well as the ability to shoot 1080p HD videos.

SlideShow: LG Optimus LTE, the superfast Android superphone

The LG Optimus LTE looks very much like the Android superphone to get this year. It features a staggering 1.5GHz dual core processor, 1 GB of RAM, a true HD 4.5 inch IPS display and a real big-boy 8 megapixel camera beating out even Samsung's Galaxy Nexus.

Being an LTE device, Bell says it is capable of download speeds of up to 75 Mbps. The only thing it doesn't have is Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but we bet it will run that upgrade just fine. Stay tuned for our comprehensive review. This sexy beast will be available from Bell on November 22.
