After successfully releasing the LG 2, the Korean company reportedly has a new Android phablet in the works.
LG recently launched its 5.2-inch LG G2, but it seems that the company is not done yet and wants to unleash more top-end phablets to entice consumers. LG apparently has a top-of-the-line phablet in the pipeline, which will throw the gauntlet to Sony's recently-released Xperia Z Ultra. Sony's phablet boasts a colossal 6.4-inch 1080p display and has a pixel density of 342ppi, but LG will reportedly top that.
The latest information comes courtesy of the folks at AndroidSaS who cites "unofficial sources." According to the report, LG's phablet will also tout a massive 6.4-inch display with 1080p resolution, but it will have a higher pixel density than the Sony phablet.
"According to the rumors and unofficial sources, LG is working on a Phablet which sizes 6.4 inches of display (1080p) same as found in the Xperia Z Ultra but with higher pixel density (418ppi)," reports AndroidSaS.
Moreover, the publication also claims that the impending LG phablet would house the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, as well as Android 4.4 KitKat. The device would also pack in 3GB of RAM and an 8-megapixel primary camera.
However, the report says the actual name of the phablet remains "undisclosed" for now. No information on the launch date of the mysterious LG phablet is currently available either.
"There is no news about its availability and announcement date and we are looking and waiting for it. Name of Phablet is not disclosed until now," reveals the site.
With the trend towards bigger handsets catching on, the phablet market is seeing an onslaught of bigger-screen devices of late. Samsung recently launched the successor to its popular Galaxy Note 2 phablet, the 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3. HTC and Nokia are expected to release phablets as well, with the HTC One Max and the Lumia 1520, respectively, reportedly due to debut this fall.
With LG allegedly hopping onto the phablet bandwagon again as well, the competition in the phablet space will be quite intense. However, the legitimacy of the AndroidSas report is circumspect and it should be taken with a pinch of salt until LG discloses some official details.
