Meet the LG Optimus LTE II: LG’s latest flagship smartphone. With its 4G LTE speeds, it’s a South Korea-only model for now, but the company says it’ll be heading overseas soon, according to the Associated Press. It’s also a spec-beast, and the first smartphone to cram in a massive 2GB of memory, making it a potential multi-tasking powerhouse. But is it missing the point entirely?
