AT&T just announced a version of the Optimus LTE for their network. Called the LG Nitro HD, it's the first smartphone in the carrier's roster to feature a screen capable of showing displays in full 720p.
Measuring 5.27 x 2.67 x 0.41 inches, it's long and slender, just like a lot of the bigger premium phones coming out these days. It features a huge 4.5-inch IPS display with a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution and 500-nit luminance. According to the press release, the screen offers "unrivaled color accuracy," " true-to-life color rendering" and "clear viewing in direct sunlight."
Details of the Nitro HD include an 8.0 megapixel camera module, a 1.3 megapixel front-facing webcam, aGPS, 4G LTE, HSPA+, WiFi, Bluetooth, DLNA, 4GB of onboard storage and microSD card expansion (up to 32GB). No word on what version of Android runs, but we're assuming Gingerbread, instead of Ice Cream Sandwich.
Billed as "the ultimate high-performance super phone," the handset comes with more than just a high-res display and LTE broadband speeds. It also runs a powerful dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor that allows it to run HD games and movies with relative ease.
The LG Nitro HD will hit AT&T retail stores December 4th, priced at $249.99 with a new two-year agreement.
