A pair of LG Froyo phones have just been revealed in the company’s South Korean homeland, along with an inevitable Android tablet to take on Samsung’s Galaxy tablet and the iPad. Will this be the Flash fueled slate to slay all others?
At least two LG Froyo Android 2.2 phones will be on sale in South Korea by the end of the year, the company has announced. One will be version of the LG LSU950 phone with a WVGA screen, HD video recording and HDMI out, so you’ll soon be able to add Flash video support to that spec list when Android 2.2 rolls out on it. The other is the powerful QWERTY LG LU2300 phone, set to get an update to Froyo in the fourth quarter of the year.
The bad news? There have been no plans announced to bring the 3.8inch LG SU950 to the UK. The good news? The LG LU2300 could be coming to Blighty (LG UK announced the phone on its official blog), meaning it could be one of the first phones to hit our shores with Android 2.2, Google Nexus One aside.
Don’t buy your Android phone for a Froyo update
That’s not all though: in the same statement, LG confirmed its plans to release an LG Android tablet on the world in the same Q4 timeframe (No date on the Windows 7 slate it unveiled last month). That’s everything we know about the LG Android tablet right now, but given that identical launch window we’ve got fingers crossed that it might be an LG Froyo Android tablet.
Stay tuned for more as we hear it – there’s nothing quite like arch rival Samsung prepping a similar product to spur LG on, and vice versa.
