4.3-Inch LG Optimus Big Leaks, On Its Way To Korea

Coming from Xportsnews is word on a new LG smartphone that'll be running Android. Beside the iPhone above is reportedly the Optimus Big which features a 4.3-inch display which is pretty much as big as it gets right now - rivals a few HTC phones. Sources say that this smartphone features just a 1GHz single-core CPU, a T-DMB TV tuner, and a NOVA display which has 700 nits of brightness. Since it'll have that TV tuner, this one may actually only hit Korea unless the company wants to make another variant for the rest of the world.

LG To Build Google-Branded Nexus Tablet, Set For Summer Launch?

Coming from Mobile-Review is word on a new tablet that's on the way from Google. Apparently, the company plans to launch their own branded tablet - part of the Nexus line-up - and the hardware will be made by LG this time around (they must've liked the G-Slate pictured above). Now, it's still early but we're hearing that it'll be set to launch in the Summer so maybe we'll see a bit of it at Google I/O later this year. This tablet will be running on their follow-up to "Honeycomb" so it should be a more refined tablet OS - some minor tweaks. This one's a rumour for now but maybe we'll be hearing more about this one soon.

It features a 4-inch WVGA display, 8GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 2.1 support, an 8MP AF camera with an LED flash and 1080p HD video recording, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 CPU, and Android 2.2 with the company's custom UI.

3 UK Launching Samsung Galaxy S2 Mini, Nokia X7, LG Optimus 3D, HTC Flyer, BB Playbook

3 UK may have just leaked some juicy information regarding some upcoming smartphones. Apparently, Samsung is prepping a Galaxy S2 Mini for the future and the launch is reportedly set for April on the carrier. Specs are going to include a 3.7-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash, a VGA front-facing camera, HSDPA connectivity, WiFi n / Bluetooth support, GPS, a 1.4GHz CPU, WiFi hotspot capabilities, and Android "Gingerbread" with the Touchwiz UI. This is classified as a high-end handset and I'm actually looking to pick this one up because I really like 3.7-inch displays. Don't worry, there's more!

Moving along, it looks like the Symbian^3 based Nokia X7 - that won't be hitting AT&T anymore - will be headed to 3 UK this June, along with the LG Optimus 3D. In May you can expect the 7-inch HTC Flyer tablet and in June you'll be able to pick up a WiFi-only BlackBerry Playbook. Interesting stuff, I'm looking forward to them all!

Four Android Tablets Get Priced For Europe; Acer A100, Transformer, XOOM, and Optimus Pad

A bunch of upcoming tablets for Europe has just been priced. It's everything you see above so that includes the €349 Acer Iconia A100, €399 Asus Eee Pad, €699 Motorola XOOM, and €849 LG Optimus Pad. It's actually pretty surprising that the A100 will be so inexpensive since it's running Android "Honeycomb" which means that the price could actually be right. The one that surprised me the most is that the 3D-capable Optimus Pad will cost so much money so I doubt that'll be flying off of the shelves. The unknown Eee Pad could actually be the Transformer so that's a decent price for a Tegra 2 tablet.

Of course, what we're missing here is the release dates which are still unknown right now. Some of these were supposed to be available in March but that's looking doubtful. Expect a Q2 launch; yes, I'm being vague.
