LG Spectrum

5 Jan 2012

The LG Spectrum is the next generation HD Android phone for the Verizon LTE network. Featuring full HD resolution on its 4.5-inch IPS and Gorilla Glass coated display, and a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon porcessor, the Spectrum certainly has the hardware to show off HD content -- like the bundled Netflix HD and ESPN Scorecenter HD applications.

The Spectrum also creates HD content with its 8MP camera, which shoots video in full 1080p. Combined with a 1.3MP front facing camera for video calling, the Spectrum has something to offer for just about anyone.
