Super-bright LG Optimus EX phone goes official

LG have officially revealed the LG Optimus EX handset for South Korean markets, and it’s looking a fairly bright hope for LG’s flailing mobile arm.

Running Android Gingerbread, the phone is the first to feature NVIDIA’s improved 1.2GHz Tegra 2 chipset, giving it full 1080p video support, as in the Samsung Galaxy S II.

A super-bright 4 inch LCD screen running at 800 x 480 resolution and with 700 nits of brightness also features, alongside 1GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable storage, a 5MP rear snapper and a VGA front facing camera.

Available in black and silver or white and gold colour schemes, the EX will launch in Korea on the SK Telecom network. No pricing or release date details are available yet, nor news on any international launch dates.
