If LG failed to impress so far with the Android 2.3 phones it's shown off in the run up to MWC 2012 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/mwc2012), perhaps the Optimus 4X HD can turn things around. This 4.7-inch beast will hit Europe in the second quarter and is its first to feature a 1.5GHz quad-core Tegra 3 as its benchmark destroying (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/15/lg-tegra-3-phone-specification-leak-tegra3-quadcore/) CPU, a 4.7-inch True HD IPS LCD (1280x720) plus what appears to be a lightly customized version of Ice Cream Sandwich. Perhaps the only logical followup to its Optimus 2X (http://www.engadget.com/tag/optimus2x) that kicked off (http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/15/lg-optimus-2x-first-dual-core-smartphone-launches-with-android/) all the dual-core madness, it also includes a 2,150mAh battery, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. Despite that huge screen, at a depth of 8.9mm it's only slightly thicker than the superwide 4x3 Optimus Vu (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/19/lg-optimus-vu-5-inch-4x3-mwc-2012/). Just like the Fujitsu prototype (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/fujisu-arrows-tegra-3-prototype-eyes-on/) we spent some time with at CES, the Tegra 3 features a 4+1 "Companion Core" design, with a fifth low power unit available to take care of more mundane tasks without draining the battery. This is all pretty close to the leaked "X3 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/20/lg-x3-supposedly-leaks-to-challenge-htc-edge-as-first-quad-core/)" specs we'd heard, however there's no mention of NFC or HSPA+ just yet, only DLNA and MHL. Check out the full press release after the break for a few more specs.
