Following the successful launch of Google branded LG Nexus 4, which borrows some features from Optimus G, the South Korean smartphone vendor has definitely regained its lost foothold in the smartphone arena and has come out as a competitor to all the biggies in the market including Samsung.
Now, LG is reportedly prepping a superior package that can surge the mobile space - successor of Optimus G with better specs on board. According to a recent report by Korean website Asian Economics, Optimus G2 will sport a 5.5 inch 1080p display with 440 ppi pixel density. Recently, HTC has announced the global version of Droid DNA and J Butterfly dubbed as Butterfly with a 5 inch 1080p display. Also, companies including Samsung, Huawei and many others are working on such devices that will be launched in 2013. The report also states that Optimus G2 will hit the retail shelves in the first half of next year, which is when Samsung is also reported to launch its upcoming flagship smartphone - Galaxy S4. Going on lines of an earlier report by MK Business News, LG Electronics is in talks with its subsidiaries including LG Display and LG Innotek and will reportedly launch a new smartphone with the likes of 1080p high definition display, Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie and quad core 2GHz processor.
Optimus G2 to set aside Galaxy S4 When speaking of the global smartphone arena which is dominated by Samsung, Apple, HTC and others, LG may not be the first choice for many consumers, but if the South Korean tech giant manages to release a flagship smartphone with AMOLED display with 440 ppi pixel density, there are chances that it could create a surge in the market. As far as Optimus G2 is concerned, there is only little information about the smartphone is known so far including its display, operating system and processor. However, these are only rumors and they are not confirmed by LG. If these rumored specs turn out to be true, Optimus G2 could become a pontential rival to Samsung Galaxy S4, which is also rumored to come with similar specs during Q2 2013. Detailing on Samsung Galaxy S4, the handset boasts a 5 inch AMOLED HD display along with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, 441 ppi pixel density, 2GHz quad core Cortex A15 processor, 13MP rear camera, Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie and 16GB/32GB/64GB/128GB internal storage options. Futher, Galaxy S4 is speculated to be unveiled during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013 or Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013 events early next year and released in April/May. Hence, if LG launches Optimus G2 with such advanced features as in Galaxy S4, the handset could definitely set aside the Samsung offering in 2013.
The shift to smartphones andtablets
became a landslide this year, crushing desire for laptop computers and pressuring manufacturers to adapt to the mobile Internet
era.i The trend promised to gain momentum in 2013, with people using handheld gadgets to remain connected to the Web on the go and switching to sophisticated systems in homes or offices. Tablets will not kill PCs
(personal computers), Forrester Research analyst Frank Gillett told AFP. Tablets will force them to evolve. Signs that the evolution is underway includeMicrosoft
overhauling Windows to synch
the world's most widely used computer operating system with tablets and smartphones as well as desktops and laptops. Microsoft is even selling its own Surface tablet based on the Windows 8
software released in October. I don't think the PC is going away, said analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley. What is clear is we are going through some turmoil; the market is resetting itself around new products. While people opt for tablets instead of laptops for computing on the move, they will yearn for bigger screens and more processing power when they settle down for real work, according to analysts. Your tablet can do so much that fewer people need laptops, but when you get to your desktop you want something that contrasts significantly from your tablet, Gillett said. I think we will ultimately see the reinvention of PCs. Gillett described a future in which people go seamlessly from working on mobile devices to desktop stations where tablets can be docked and augmented with sensors, processors, bigger screens and more. He refers to the concept as frames for computing. The analyst contends that the limping economy is among factors behind a temporary lull in PC purchases destined to end as people go through this illusion they will do it all on a tablet and realize they can't. Tablets will substitute for some, even many, laptops but because a tablet can't do as much as a laptop it will eventually stimulate PC sales, Gillett reasoned. What ultimately happens here is that the laptop and desktop get rethought and re-invented for a tablet world. The market for tablets and smartphones is red-hot, leaving the PC as an afterthought for many. Microsoft, which was the biggest tech firm in 2009 because of its dominant Windows operating system for PCs, has fallen behind Apple and is struggling to remain a major force amid gains by Google and Amazon. Onetime giants like Hewlett-Packard
and Dell
are struggling amid sluggish demand as sales of tablet computers and other devices surge. However, Enderle pointed out, China-based Lenovo is thriving by selling the gamut of computing devices. Lenovo is showing success in all categories, supporting the notion that while the market has more products it is all still personal computing, Enderle said. Before we were buying a laptop or desktop computer, he continued. Now, we are increasingly carrying many products. Research firm IDC projects global PC sales this year of 367 million, up just a fraction of a percent from 2011 and marking the second consecutive year of growth below two percent. ABI Research predicts tablet computers will overtake notebook PCs by 2016. Roger Kay of Endpoint Technologies Associates said that the PC still is pretty relevant but not the center of the computing universe. I think people are going to choose a pantheon of devices, and all of these are connected through the cloud... so the user is now the center of the tech universe. More than 32 million tablets were shipped worldwide in the third quarter of 2012, a 75 percent increase from the same period a year earlier, according to Futuresource Consulting. Futuresource projected that global tablet shipments this year would hit 137 million units and nearly triple during the coming five years. We're seeing significant industry growth across all key world territories, with the majority of tablet market activity still originating from consumer purchases, said Simon Bryant of Futuresource. Part of the success of tablets was attributed to the average price dropping below $400, due in large part to competition between device makers using free Android
operating software from Google.
