Bell to release the LG Optimus LTE as the LG “Eye” (Video)

By on October 21, 2011 at 1:28pm in Bell Mobility News, Mobile News


A few weeks back LG formally announced the LG Optimus LTE, an Android 2.3 device that literally comes stacked with impressive specs: 4.5–inch “True HD IPS” display that has a resolution of 1280 x 720, 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 8 megapixel camera that shoots 1080p HD videos, 1830 mAh battery and 10.4 mm thin. Solid device and is LTE-capable, which would mean that one of our carriers could essentially release this. However, LG Canada sent us note saying they “don’t have any information regarding a Canadian launch, we’re keeping our fingers crossed”.

Guess it’s time to uncross those fingers and get ready to grab hold of this Android. A promo video has surfaced online from Bell-owned retailer The Source that shows off the Optimus LTE, but is called the “Eye”. Even though Bell and LG haven’t officially declared this device to be landing in Canada, the promo vid verbally confirms this it to be heading to Bell, most likely sometime in November as part of their “Superphone” category. Video after the break…

  2. Another LTE phone to hit the market soon and thousands are still waiting for the SGS2 LTE to come out for Rogers. What’s the hold up? Bell is going to beat you to the punch.

  5. The browser looks like crap
    why include a software “back” button when you have a hardware back button?

    But other than that, this phone looks amazing. This will be one of the best screen out there.

  6. something worth noting, that phone has the three button hardware capacitive button setup. just the back button and the menu/wutever button is switched. (galaxy nexus has back key on the left)
    so should make for an easier ics transition/upgrade :p

  7. So does this mean that Telus might grab the HTC Vigor/Rezound? If so, then I’m definitely skipping the Amaze 4G and holding out a little longer…

  8. oppps! – I guess the video went up by mistake, because it has been ‘removed by the user’

    I was wondering what LTE handset Bell would launch with, and why LG sent out PR about the phone with no mention of it coming here – now all is revealed.

    Since Rogers has the Jetstream as their LTE tablet it makes sense that the 8″ Tab must be the Bell LTE tablet.

    • Actually EC, anything above 1024×768 is considered HD. 1280×720 is most certainly HD and the average person can’t tell the difference between that and 1920×1080 at standard viewing distance for TV’s below 50″. I doubt we’re ever going to see 1920×1080 on sub 10″ screen, let alone a phone so 720p on a 4.5″ screen is as good as your gonna get. This is the smallest screen with 720p res (the others are 4.65″).

    • The ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) disagrees with you. HD is defined as a minimum of 720 lines of resolution.

  13. So in the Video he calls it both the LG Eye and the LG One, and the text bar in the video calls it the LG Optimus LTE, they really need to get an editor for their videos that pays attention.
