If you’ve been wondering just what a true 720p HD display would look like on a smartphone, wonder no more. The LG LU6200 that LG teased over the weekend has been spotted in the wild, complete with its 1280 x 720, 4.5-inch AH-IPS display. The smartphone is still said to be powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor — Qualcomm’s MSM8660 Snapdragon to be precise.
The other specs are also in line with what we’ve heard: an 8-megapixel camera, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, and a mess of connectivity options like DLNA, MHL, and Wi-Fi Direct. It will launch with Android 2.3.5, but supposedly an upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich is on the table after it gets released.
It’s expected to launch next month, but only in Korea on LG Telecom’s U+ LTE network.
Update: LG has this morning announced it’ll have a three-month exclusive on Street Fighter IV when the game launches on Android in Q4 2011. In the press release, LG CEO Jong-seok Park reaffirms that the company’s making final preparations to launch its first HD smartphone and states his belief that Street Fighter IV in HD will “give fans a whole new reason to play the game again.”
