LG Optimus Z smartphone hits South Korea

LG’s latest smartphone to hit South Korea would be the Optimus Z, where it will be available via local carriers SK Telecom and KT. Running on Android 2.1 with the option to upgrade it to version 2.2 before 2011 rolls around, the Optimus Z is no slouch when it comes to performance thanks to its 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Each purchase will come with a couple of 1,350mAh batteries which is perfect for those who tend to do a whole lot of traveling and need to have their phones well juiced all the time. With a body which measures just 11.05mm thin, the Optimus Z is definitely a looker thanks to its svelteness and matte-finish metal. No idea on pricing just yet, but more specifications can be found in the extended post.
