LG’s Nexus smartphone compared to the iPhone 5

Google and LG have not yet confirmed nor denied that they will be releasing an Android smartphone together.

However, photos of the product have been leaked all over the Internet. Today comes one compared to the iPhone 5 product. On the surface the LG device looks slightly more stylish and may have a bit bigger screen than the iPhone hockey rink type size.

This photo comes from the Web site Onliner and the specs for the device are rumoured to be: quad-core Snapdragon S4 at 1.5 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, 8-16 GB internal storage, an 8MP camera, and a 4.7-inch True IPS HD display with a resolution of 768 × 1280. And, of course it will be running Android 4.2.

The thing that might make this device more user-friendly is the bigger screen. Let’s face some fact unless you are over 50 years of age you are just texting with people. Not using the phone service or for good heavens leaving a voice mail message. I believe if the screen size is big enough it will work for end users. Look at the Samsung Note for example. Experts found it to be hybrid type device but in actuality most people use it as their smartphone because all they do is text.

I’m not sure where LG stands in the smartphone market these days. Are they an also-ran or are they a true up and coming vendor? Partnering with Google is a good step, but I think more is necessary for South Korean vendor.
